Life experiences are not always pleasant. In fact, it’s usually the unpleasant ones that stick with you and are harder to move past. Ending a relationship, for any reason, is one such experience.

He desired her. He was desperate for her. Which one was it? Or could it be both? He could not yet know.

Everyone knew he was classic Ted Mosby. But honestly, the alternative, a life without feeling, he decided was not worth living. He puts himself out there. He lets himself attach to emotions too soon. It’s not an issue of daydreaming or even lack of confidence wherein a particular person shows him the slightest bit of interest so he falls in love. It’s none of that at all. It’s a feeling of, hey, I like you. And why should he hold that back?
