Love is one of the most common topic everybody talks about. It is a common thing, seems easy to discuss but a hard thing to explain. Young and old, one way or another, we experience its mystery.
So I look back to the past, observe others and realized that in a way, somehow you could classify these various men. First on the list would be the "Best Friend." The ultimate tropa, guy friend in a barkada and could even be a childhood comrade. You know each other too well which could be a very good foundation for something better or even great. However, with the trust you give, seldom you get blinded that we are still humans and we easily commit mistakes. First love became the first heartache and a very bad one. A slap on the face of the reality that life is not a fairytale and men can still be a fool like a boy even with age.
"The Stranger", he's someone new. You never knew him but your path crossed through common friends, interest or the most romantic word destiny. Then love is on full bloom but then density happen and you sink again. How can we be stupid enough to trust some stranger after being played by someone you shared your whole life growing up?
The person that caught your eyes and maybe almost your heart is the being we know as our "Crush." Though, we were swoon by something special, sometimes this thing could be one sided. What we feel might be different from what he feels which is a step closer to a heartbreak.
Bridges are a common thing in relationships, we find love from someone we know. You know "That Guy" that was introduced by a friend, a sibling, a class mate or whoever. Closely related to a stranger but someone links you together which made the connection possible. Referrals might be nice especially if you trust the person who made it possible but then again we don't necessarily know the person better if we get really close. Yup, close like he holds your heart but you must let go of each other.
"The Passionate Dude", he's someone you meet on seminars, competition or any school or company activities. One way or another, you shared a common liking on a lot of stuff which will make you feel like it's meant to be. Sadly, like these activities, you could end up crying because you're just the flavor of the week or month. Someone he likes to have a fling for a bit and let go the moment he wants reality to happen again.
"The Next Good Thing" is the guy who actually has a thing for one of your friends but could not get a yes so he ended up choosing you. Maybe, you are an easy target or he realized you're a better choice. However, soon you'll realized why he can't pass even the first base with your friend.
You don't need a lot of introductions for the next lad because he is "The Famous One." He could be the crush ng bayan, a model, actor or whatever that made him known to all. The relationship would start with a lot of haters but if you ignore it all, it might end with a happy ending. Negatively, you don't like the spotlight and you choose to let go. He's just over the top and you like being under.
Then you will meet somebody who aspire to be famous and trying so hard but ends up to be "The Mama's Boy." He could be more vain than you and you might feel the guy in the relationship which will cause the relationship to rumble into pieces. Badly, you two could not even save a friendship due to his ego.
With your past relationships on the bag. once in awhile, you'll meet "The Virgin." Scary to enter a relationship with someone who's experiencing it for the first time. True, it feels like being in love for the first time but just like the former, you get to handle the relationship which will make you see that he's just a newbie and you're not ready to be a trainer.
A blast from the past or "The Returning One", he's someone you used to be with but you decided to let go. Maybe, you've grown and decided to give it a try again this time. However, you end up realizing that your yesterday better stay in the past and remember once is a mistake, twice is a choice and third is suicide.
Then another version of the returning one could go back again or a stranger that is all about the game. He's "The Fling" and he could be the one or not but it will break your heart or hurt you because you might feel like he could be the one. Don't ever settle for less than you deserve and guys who like the short time definitely does not deserve your whole being.
Many were mentioned but still a lot is missing. There could be "The Exemplary One", he's the artist, band member, athlete or the cumlaude that you admire. It might be something but you decided to stay as somebody who adores the person from a far. Then "The Bad Boy", he's someone who might never meet the parents and your friends might hate him too. However, you got swoon by his angas and what girl doesn't like a brawn but reality will slap you that it's good for a short period and not for keeps. Another would be "The Applicant", he would be the dude who is making moves to cath your attention but you'll eventually see that he's just trying to see if he might be able to get a yes from you. You're just a challenge for him and he will soon be gone, faster than the time he choose to come.
Our romantic endeavors varies and you might meet some or all of them or even someone else but this all ends in a story we all like which is love. Whether we choose to fight for it and hold on or let go and be free, love is an adventure full of ups and downs. Nevertheless, we should keep going because the Universe, in all its being and power will make sure that you will get that happy ending fitted for a princess or even a queen.
So what other types of men you have met in your own journey?
