<< am i the only one who thinks rival should just leave?
seriously, think about it. i'm not getting the impression that rival has had this burning desire to do something romantic, but doesn't for fear of rejection or something. i think rival is just the way he is, naturally. do we really want to tell him to force himself to change? you can't overcome who you are... you can act "romantic" for a little while, but it's going to get tedious and old because that's not who you are.
and how romantic can it be if you're basically doing something to give the illusion of being romantic?
i think you're better off with a girl who is happy with who you are. >>
IMO, It's one thing to be happy with who someone is, and it's another thing to recognize that you need something that they aren't giving you and politely ask for it (note: not bitch at them 'til they do what you want). Isn't that the way relationships go? In a loving relationship, you should be comfortable enough with the other person to confront them if you're feeling neglected in a certain area. Once again, just don't bitch about it.
