Hello all, I figured that by way of making up for my unforgivable absence I'll give you all some funny gist that I heard recently.

So I heard a story recently about a girl who ended up in a 2nd relationship by "accident." On the face of it, it sounds absurd, after all there are rarely accidents in the relationship business. But I suppose it was as much of an accident as can happen in dating/mating.

So girl with boyfriend meets boy she sort of fancies. She doesn't plan to encourage, but she also doesn't plan to discourage. Which as all boys and girls know is encouragement of another kind. So in the midst of her non-discouragement encouragement, said boy doesn't ask whether she is in a relationship. The boy choosing to exhibit the sort of blind faith that implies that any girl he is interested in has to be single. So their interactions continue until he is talking in terms of her being his babe. This is the 21st century after all and people don't officially ask anything, you fall into it by mutual consent. The girl continues to remain silent, which obviously in the minds of boys and girls everywhere signals assent.

So when I heard this story, I was baffled. The girl literally believed that she wasn't in a relationship. Well actually she had jedi mind tricked herself into thinking she wasn't. It took a lot of random sounds of disbelief to get her to see that she had silenced herself into a second relationship.

I like this story because its a clear action speaks louder than words scenario. Or as R Kelly says, your mind is telling me no etc... At first I kinda felt bad for the accidental boyfriend, after all, all he did was hit on a girl. But i started thinking about it and decided that he is guilty too. I mean, in who doesn't ask if a girl is single, unless you don't care, or don't want to know. So it remains a random funny story in which all parties but the actual boyfriend have some complicity. So what say you?
