Is it fair to assume that certain motives of people should not be questioned?
Should we turn a blind eye when we can clearly see someone getting hurt?
If you said no to both, then you don't need to continue reading.
However, if your answer vies a yes, then we need to have a chat.
Sit down son, let me put in to perspective what I mean.
When feelings start to become prevalent towards someone, you hold on to some ignorant bliss.
Hoping beyond hope that that person catches your eye and somehow you get a fairytale ending.
Of course, this all seems easier in the movies, nothing like that would ever really happen, right?
In reality, this person is aware of your feelings but reciprocates in such a way that makes you wonder what it is that they are after. You end up home every night wondering what they meant when they were flirting with you only moments earlier. Somehow the object of your affection believes that this flirting is entirely innocent. Is that okay? Is that morally just? The answer is no and here's why:
When this person has a significant other, it is not fair to them to throw themself at someone else only when said other half is not around. If you are in a relationship, be in a relationship.
The person who has feelings for you takes your flirting a lot more seriously than you probably think.
You're only setting them up to get hurt once they realize you have absolutely no romantic interest in them. Once this person gets hurt weather it was intetional or not, they may have a vengeful side and take it out on everyone for what seems like no reason to you. When in fact it was you who strung them along, gave them false hope, and then bitch slapped them back in to reality every time you say your other half's name. The person with feelings for you would probably die for you. Don't take that for granted. You need to open your eyes and see what's in front of you. If you knew that you are this person's reason for waking up, and they absolutely can not wait to see you every night, are you with the wrong person? Would your current beau say the same? In my book, any real potential for happiness lies in these people who feel. They are real because they take the risk on you every day, sometimes fully aware that you are slowly bleeding them, and silently wait for you to hurt them so that they can return to their normal life before you came along and turned a pretty life of ignorant bliss into a nightmare. These people want more than anything to just get one shot at a happy ending, and they deserve it. Everyone does. But when someone else dictates happiness, especially when it's the one they feel for, that is just not fair. So please, continue to hurt everyone involved and lose everyone entirely. Then we'll talk again. And I'll tell you what an idiot you are.
Tell your girlfriend I said hello.
