Now I'm not promoting gory sword fights or battles to the death (sorry to disappoint), but how do you respond when you find yourself, and others, interested or in love with the same person?
For example, back in 7th grade, myself and my best friend had a crush on the same guy. It got awkward, but neither of us ended up being his girlfriend, and our friendship moved on and we stayed friends. Come 9th grade, myself and a girl I was acquainted with like the same guy, only it's an uglier response on her end. But on the side lines, I still hinted to him I liked him, although a little disheartened at this point.
Fast forward to February 2014, and this same situation plays itself out with a much more complicated context, and it's just uncomfortable and awkward.
My first response is flight. I cut the ties, stuff my feelings in the furnace and do away with it because I don't do drama and I don't like division, and the last thing I want is a re-run of those high school years.
So my question is, do you fight? Do you run? Do you lay it out in the open? When it comes to you, the other person, and the person who has captivated both of your attention, how do you respond?
