You want me to explain? Alright. Brace your feeble minds, humans.
Attraction is an odd thing. From simple infatuation to love itself, when you /like/ someone you can't explain it. You're just head over heels for them. You care about them. How they feel. How they are. You care about their dreams, their fears, their plans and every little thing. How they look is in there too. Not nearly as goddamn important, when it comes to /love/ but if you like someone, thats BEFORE love, you'll probably take looks into the equation.
You honestly care. I can't explain it. Why? Because I've never been in /love/ I loved my girlfriends (at the time, and for the most part). But I wasn't in love. Not real love. Not starry-eyed wonder. Like I said, I can't describe it.
"But Anthony, why did you even go out with them then?" I hear you saying it at your monitors. Because I liked them. At our age, that's enough. Honestly, it's a step up from the infatuation we're normally going to get freshman year. I cared about them, at least, the good ones. The /real/ ones. The ones that weren't a weekend, by text. The ones that lasted months, that I'd stay up for, the ones I cared about.
Still, it wasn't love.
You want me to explain my attraction to Shannon? I thought she was pretty, and she wasn't an idiot. Beyond that, simply a kindergarten I-like-you rot.
It's that simple, people. I certainly didn't love her. I barely liked her. And that's why I dated her. Because it's better to act on those glorious impulses than now, when even a year on, I'd still be going, "What if?"even for Shannon.
When you comment, this is a serious post. Don't be shallow. Shannon, for all my bashing, is a human being, so don't just go, "But dude... it's /Shannon/." Think, people. This is me, soul bared. For your goddamn entertainment.

Holy shit dude... That was deep. That was like, the side of Johnny we suspected exsisted, but still had our doubts about. I totally get what you mean, like you just can't help who you're attracted to, right? Besides, I don't think she was as bad back when you guys dated. I like Lydia much better though. :) Good post.
Good post, rather liked how most of it was you trying to describe what it feels like to /like/ someone after saying you can't describe it :D
Well written/said. That was by far the most true/incredible thing like... ever. you need to write a book bro. That thing would sell. All these posts can be converted into chapters and remove the names and you have yourself a book.
Good post buddy :)
