I knew he'd go and tell her, but I also think that her reaction was just as inevitable. This shit is textbook; it's one case of biology being just as predictable as physics. Whether he told her or not, the result would have been more or less the same--the only thing it stood to affect was their friendship, and when it comes to that I think this right here tells the story:
In any event, at this point that chapter is over. He either moves on or he doesn't. Nowhere is it written that everyone shall pair up in retarded little couples and live happily ever after. In any case, it's not really much of a problem. |
Hah, so you too thought it was inevitable 
And, I do agree with you. The reason why I told Cliff to open up and take it off his chest is because I reckoned he'd snap out of it afterwards as this kind of behaviour rarely (if ever) leads to a successful relationship (but, even if his chances were slim, I felt he had to do something about it: what if it worked out? We don't know the girl ).

There are plenty of people out there like myself who aren't in a serious relationship and aren't looking to be in one in the foreseeable future. Is it a little pathetic if his reason for eschewing romance is because he's hung up on some girl who he never had any real chance with? Sure, but most people in traditional romantic relationships are in them for pathetic reasons, anyway. So he's not really any more pathetic than your average person. That's why what he really needs to do is stop feeling sorry for himself. |
And, though sometimes it seems we think very much alike (at least regarding to Nou), I once again have to disagree with you out of sheer optimism: If both people in a relationship are actively pursuing a life in common, can you really say anything about their reasons for doing that?
But, despite this disagreement, I agree with you about this being so common a problem that this overblown drama now sounds like nothing but self-pity. And, once again, I kind of wish I could help him snap out of it.
