Girl Failure For Frank
Girl Failure For Frank Despite best efforts
This one isn’t for me - this is about the guy I work with. For the purposes of this I’m going to call him “Frank” to save him the embarrassment (though some of you reading this know exactly who I am talking about here).
So “Frank” who has been single for an eternity finally falls for someone. Understand here that whilst he is unconventional, he is a great guy. Fun, loads of energy and a ton of other good qualitys that I am not going to bother listing here right now. Anyway, he hasn’t been single for the want of women liking him. Now I like my women, and I have good taste, and there have been some quite special women that he has all but ignored out of some sense of “they have to be right”. The dude just wouldn’t go out with someone for the sake of it no matter how beautiful some of them were.
Anyway, to the point. So he finally meets this girl, we are going to call her “anie”. Anie. Now he really liked this lady, and the more he got to know her the more he fell for her. For a while it was “anie” this and “Anie” that. Not that he kept on about her, just that for a man who is usually so present in the moment he started to really be thinking about someone else when he wasn;t with them.
Anyway, I think he did all the right things. Frank took Anie out to interesting stuff, he never once let her pay for a single morsal of anything edible whilst out with him, and he did things that he knew that she would enjoy as much as him - mostly music gigs and stuff. She was a bit of a backing singer and turned out to have a beautiful voice, something that I know that Frank not only really apreciated but would have really encouraged in her.
Anyway, eventually he realised that making an effort to try and be a little obvious without being too much of an idiot, despite the buying of food, the phone conversations till 1am, and something I though was really funny - brushing their teeth together on the phone(!) - they still weren’t going out with each other! So I told him to make a move - nothing silly jsut to actually do something that was imposible to mis understand like try and kiss her.
Anyway - she pushed him back.
The really sad thing here is that looking at it all (and I could never tell him this, though you’ll probably stumble over this at some point Frank so I guess I am anyway) is that I honestly think that judging things on her actions she did like him. Judging her by her actioins and not her words they should have gotten together. However Jesus said that they couldn’t be together. She was tied to her religion and that was that. On parting she just said that her “religion was really important to her” or something like that anyway. I asked Frank if she’d ever asked him about his faith and she said no. Ah Anie - you missed out here. If you are reading this Frank you know that you are one of the more activly spiritual people I know, I’m not sure she was all she said she was, and the lack of her interest in this I think is a real good example of it.
Anyway, that was that really, and so it was that the phrase Anie slowly dissapeared from Franks vocabulary and everything returned to some sembalance of normality. It’s good in a way, I like the fact that he’s really present and really “there” if you know what I mean, but I feel a little sorry for him. If it was me it’d be simple, I’d just go out, sleep with a couple of people and that would be that, but with him he is so, well, Frank about it that he won’t do that.
Ah well, let this be a lesson to you. Make sure that the person isn’t a fundamentalist before you spend loads of time and become close to them, because the problem with fundamentalism of any kind is that it isn’t about what that person individually believes at that point, they are tethered and tied to the fundamental rules of what ever they are blindly following and there is no getting out of it. As this example clearly shows - the two people really both liked each other, and it is the fundamentalism that just gets in the way. You don’t have to be blowing people up in buses to be a hard core idiot **AhEm** I mean hard core **believer**!
Side note check out these before and after pic on the Foam sclerotherapy web page, I think she looks worse after! I recone we should just remove them. She certainly wouldn’t make it onto my blog I can tell you that. Also, I’m thinking about getting some new running shoes from this place. I think I might end up working on the site, which would mean that I could potentially get a discount on it. Lastly, my blog post of the week is this one on Enigin. Check it out if you have time!
