Fate? or Coincidence? Intentional Opportunity?

A bud of mine mentioned last night that "there are no coincidences" regarding how couples meet. Every 'coincidence' is usually an opportunity made by one of the parties. It's an interesting thought, and I guess it's true. You never know if someone actually intentionally went out of his/her way to 'bump' into you or catch your attention. It's not a bad thing; sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands!

I sort of believe in fate/coincidence. I don't believe that it's always about an opportunity exploited by someone :P Let me tell you my reasoning.

Back in the days of high school, when I was in Grade 9 I took Visual Arts. So, I always hung by the 'Art' corner after school. I noticed a boy; he was a cute boy. He seemed very timid and shy, yet happy at the same time. Hey, I was only 14 at the time, but I guess you could say I was drawn to him. I didn't know his name, what grade he was in, but I wanted to get to know him better.

Well, as they say, out of sight, out of mind. After grade 9, I never saw him again. Maybe he transferred out, or maybe we were never in the same classes, until OAC. BAM! There he was, in the same homeform as me. Coincidence? Perhaps. Fate? It could deemed so by some. I felt as though someone (maybe God) was giving me a second chance to know this person. After months of eyeing each other, we finally started dating, and did so for 2.5 years :P

If fate hands me a second chance, I won't hesitate.

Subway /Streetcar Etiquette

-For the love of all that is good: shower AND put on deodorant
-If that still doesn't work, keep your stinky armpits out of my face
-I know it's hot, but men who wear shorts that end up mid-thigh sitting down is NARSTY; I don't want to be touching your hairy legs
-Really, I don't want to know what you and Johnny had for dinner, or whether Jenny is being a snitch, or whether or not you want to get a Brazilian Wax
-If it's packed, put your backpack down, even if it's on your feet
-Your bags don't deserve a seat
-If someone's old or pregnant, offer your seat to them
-Let people off before you get on; things flow much faster that way
-LASTLY, SHOWER AND PUT ON DEODORANT!!!

The Hopeless Romantic, The Realist, The Loveless and the Idiots

"The Hopeless Romantic" - An individual who has ridiculous fantasies and ideals about courtship and/or his/her ideal mate. This is the girl who dreams of her knight in shining armour, aka Mr. Prince Charming. The hopeless romantic girl dreams of the Perfect Guy who possesses all the characteristics that are desirable to her. The Hopeless Romantic is usually screwed because his/her expectations in real life have been disappointing due to media's misconceptions.

"The Realist" - This person has come to terms with their "Hopeless Romantic" side. He/she has learnt that no one is perfect, and not to set far fetched expectations that will land him/her as an old maid/man with a bunch of cats. They believe in the notion of Love, but believe that 99.9% of the time, Love may not be enough to overcome obstacles such as clashes in personality, financial issues and such. The Realist is cautious. The Realist carefully considers each prospective relationship rationally and decides whether it is worth pursuing, rather than shooting down every opportunity because someone didn't possess a ridiculous irrelevant quality such as the power to go through walls.

"The Loveless" - He/she is bitter about the notion of love in a romantic sense. He/she doesn't believe in love, or has been too hurt from previous experiences to attempt to love again. He/she scorns others in love and may likely end up being an old man/maid. Sometimes, the Loveless may revert back to a Hopeless Romantic or a Realist.

"The Idiots" (or, the really courageous/brave) - These people believe that true love is able to overcome any and every obstacle. They believe that if you are capable of true love, you will not mind a person's financial status, educational level, personal past/history, looks, or bad qualities. In other words, there are some people out there that believe than they can embrace someone without any reservations in the name of true love. These people are willing to sacrifice everything in the name of love (money, career, family), even their own lives for that person. They likely represent 0.01% of the world's population - a rare and dying breed.

I used to be a Hopeless Romantic, but now I'm a Realist. Yeah I still dream, but I know my dreams aren't likely going to happen. Whatever Idiot resided in my mind has been smacked out by rational thinking and experience. If you had no reservations, then technically you should be able to love everyone, and anyone, which of course does not happen. Some guys like a girl because she's prettier than the average Jill. Some girls will like a guy because he's smarter than the average lump of coal :P. Heck, sometimes you don't even know why you like someone :/

I know a lot of women who wouldn't consider a guy if he only went to college or only finished high school, or if he was a bricklayer, construction worker or any other occupation that requires a lot of manual labour. Realists unite!!

True love is necessary for successful relationships? That's another blog altogether, signing off.
