Bit of self reflection for the night...
I've watched a friend over this last year and am trying to figure out if how he is going. On a side note, happy to take bets from the SS crew to see where this goes.
He's your typical college football jock type bloke thats fallen head over heels for a hb. It's been about a year now that he has been pursuing this girl. They're inseparable in most due to his part in latching onto her; heck that is how he joined our social group. In lectures they sit together regardless of whom is around. He's waited for her after lab classes even though she has walked off with friends. He's picked up her dogs poo on walks together. They spend time together out of university. YET whenever they spend time together, another girl or guy is always present. I have not heard of those two doing anything romantic.
At a party one night while everyone was dancing, I watched as his girl danced with every other guy (including me), grinding and having fun as he was just hovering around. He tried to pucker up to her a few times that night and she simply gave him the 'eww' look. Even her friends (including us) are trying to put in a good word for him but she simply disregards it with a 'but it would be weird if I got with him'. Whenever we ask him, he tells us he is close and almost there.
Now I don't know him well enough that I could pull him a side and give him an intervention so I guess me and all his friends can only watch on patiently. He's the type that could pull any woman he wanted to. Atleast she has turned him into a studious student? Furthermore if he does end up getting the girl, has he not followed DJ principles of persisting and getting what he wants?
So what do you guys think? Will he ever make it to her castle doors or is he doomed? I mean he hangs out with her ALOT so surely that counts for something?
My latest HB/ NC could have gone down this path. It is that much of a temptation for me to initiate contact with her because I know she will respond instantly. Yet I look at my friend and promised myself, I'd never be like this again. I guess I ask this question because I have another friend who's succeeded in a sense after 8 months interested in a HB. Yet the difference here is he and the HB although messaged each other all the time, never were in face to face contact. He was even chasing after other woman while still keeping in contact with the girl he is now in a relationship with. Added I put in a good word for him and made this other HB realise he was 'the one'.
