Your lost, not ours
The other day, I was listening to the morning show on the radio. The topic of discussion was, 'What would you do if someone is so persistent towards you even after you reject him/her?'
Some answers shared were:
1. Ignore
2. Make use of the person's interest
3. Reject (again and again)
4. Stood him/her up
5. Play along
Then I wonder, has anyone ever asked the other side of the story? Do they know what makes the person persistent in the first place?
I'm one of those who persists (hehe).
I'd like to share my reason for being persistent (perhaps annoyance or creepy to some people).
I don't easily fall on someone. Heck, I just don't. For me, getting close to someone is hard and requires so much effort and time. But when I met someone who from the first time I heard him speaks, the way he smiles and laughs, I just simply could not have enough. Things become so effortless and natural to get closer to him. And this is, for me, something I don't get easily and worth to fight for.
I do all I could think off to just build the relationship and get closer. And we did. But at one point, for some reason, he decided to ask me to leave. I gave a thought to it, he did gave me some considerably valid reasons for me, but I couldn't make myself leave. Because for me, he is someone worth fighting for. And so I did. I can't simply leave that easy. I need to have given my best fight before I can accept to surrender. I want to say to myself, 'You've done your best. And there is nothing else you could have done. You did all you can. So no regrets'.
I'm giving my best fight. Now the ball is in his court. Tbh, whatever happens now, I have no regrets. I love the best way possible for me, it will be his lost if I or he leaves. Because he lost someone who loves him all her heart and being, and I only lost someone I love dearly, not someone who loves me dearly.
How should anyone react to persistent person? Up to you. Whatever way, those of us who were/are persistent gave our best shot. It's your lost, not ours.
If it's not for you, then it is meant for someone else.
Simply my two cents.
