Boston Guy

As a new chapter had begun, I thought it is an opportune time to write about...Boston Guy.

Who is BG?

He is a Mr. Wrong who comes into your life at the "perfect" time.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't that he is horrible.  In fact, chances are he is quite likable, maybe funny or charming even.  He is someone you could...stand.  And stand to spend time with. A lot of time with, even.

Only, he isn't the one for you.  And you know it.  Fair enough, maybe not immediately. But in any case, at some point, you knew. And sort of, well... ignore the fact.

You can even make excuses and silly statements like "We have a connection.  Really.  REALLY" talking to yourself.

Your friends don't like him for trivial reasons.  And strangely, you understand why.  

And because he isn't the one, after a few weeks, your brain will just refuse to dumb itself any longer.  You physically and emotionally, will not be able fake it anymore.

Then, it's over.  Just like that.

BG being an okay guy won't be crushed.  In fact, he probably knew all along what was happening and was just too happy to be part of something seemingly of his interest.  You.  Dating you.  

Dating.

Later, you'd realise who BG really was for you.

In hindsight, it would appear that BG really is, at a critical moment, a (destined) much needed...distraction.

Maybe to tide you through a rough patch, restlessness or even, boredom.

The latter sounds bad.  Demonic.

Why Boston?  I'm not saying.  

I do know a pretty girl who'd probably be nodding, smiling and shaking her head as she reads this though.

Oh and BG doesn't have to be from--or even, had been to Boston.

So that is where you have been. In that case I don't care much for BG either. ;~) Missed you blogging. Glad you're back.

I actually wrote a few entries in a notepad somewhere-- thought I'd give actual physical writing a shot.

Funny thing though is that as I begin to type them the context / angle shifts and then it becomes a mess.

Your comments are always encouraging, thanks :)

I think in some point in our lives we encounter "BG"...It's just a matter of knowing when to let go...
