interesting people
lately, i’ve noticed that i really enjoy hanging out with certain peoples… and i’m finding it very interesting indeed!
what is it about some people that make you want to hang out with them more? is it really simply because someone makes you laugh? or because the fact that they’re telling YOU that joke makes you feel special and loved?
i think this is a concept that i’ve struggled with on and off… wondering what makes that friendship special… but mostly wondering what makes someone attracted to someone else. what is it about certain people that creates that wonderful li’l feeling inside you, making you think about them multiple times throughout the day? or how does one person earn the power to make your stomach flip flop when the phone rings with their special ring tone? how would someone work their way into your life to make you smile everytime you see your inbox with an email from him/her?
as a disclaimer, i have no one in my life like this right now… although i’m open to suggestions =) i think i’ve had these questions in the back of my mind, wondering what it’ll take for someone to impact my life in that way.
but seriously, if someone makes me feel that way, is that a good enough reason to start dating them? why does that feeling of yearning seem to equate into a relationship that should be pursued? and maybe even more importantly, if i have friends in my life who do this for me - make me laugh, make me feel special, spend time with me, fill up my inbox, and call my cell phone - why is it that i want to eventually find that one special guy who’ll do this for me? not that i’m desperately searching, but that is definitely something that i think of as nice to have…
yah… i just don’t think i understand the psychology behind it. regardless of whether i understand it or not, though, i have to admit that i’m a pretty social person and i’m glad i have friends that do make me feel special, the same friends who company i enjoy.
and for that, i’m very thankful =)
