Be serious!!
Being playful and funny has its own flipside. I was very playful when I was at college. Never really bothered about anything, no strong emotional attachments, I had always lived the moment. I would always love to hang out with my friends enjoying things, be it the Re. 1 bhajjis or a night show movie. Exam seasons were the most dreadful times to me, not because I had to read but because all my friends would be seriously preparing for the exams and I would be left alone with no company. Even if I go to their rooms they would shoo me because I would not let them study.
I had a good friend who used to hang out with me most of the times. She liked my company because she would have hearty laughs all the time she was with me. Slowly, I started getting attracted to her and the scenario changed, I started preferring her company. Everybody in my college believed that there was something going on between us. But actually there was nothing. 2 years passed and we were in our final semester. I became so restless that I wanted to let her know that I liked her (whatever!). So as usual one day we were having coffee in our mess room and I found it was the apt time to start the topic.
After profusely sweating, I finally managed to tell her that I liked her (Gosh, I was feeling shy to use the word, love and I never knew a better way to propose). She stared at me for a moment and then burst out laughing. “Naveen, don’t play! Be serious in life!.” She had thought that I was making fun of her as usual. Oops, what was I supposed to do? How could I prove that I was serious? I just smiled at her and turned my face away from hers. Till date she never understood that I proposed her. Oops, I have paid the price of being funny all times but have never managed to become really serious.
PS: X, if you are reading this, just ignore this. I know it is too late now :)

I have known many girls who have proposed first(including myself), but I do agree that guys still constitute the majority..times I am sure are slowly changing though!
Awwww...
Well sometimes it happens, when a guy who is a really good buddy type proposes its unbelievable and one usually laughs it off. It’s kinda difficult to digest the fact.
Well never fear you might get lucky the second time around.
Why didnt you try once more???But you learnt your lesson..dont let it happen again:)
$Ricky - Yea man, she is happily married! So there is no chance with her :)
$Vamsee - I hope so too :) Tx for droppin by!!
$My Ramblings - I always believed that only good buddy types fall in love :)
$Shikha With the same girl is not possible 'cos she is already married :)
This actually brought tears to my eyes.
Communication is so hard sometimes between men and women. It's as though we speak different languages.
