If you're gonna hit on me, do it in a way that I've never experienced before. Show me something real, something not sugar-coated, something unexpected. Don't woo me with those predictable punch lines you've memorized. Don't tell me how different I am from other girls you've met but instead, show me how odd you are. Honestly, I'm not looking for a partner, someone to call babe, honey, boo, etc. etc. I'm not looking for someone who can help me cross the chaotic streets. I've been alone and independent for the longest time and trust me, if you're thinking I'm in need for someone to fix my life, maybe R2-D2 or Mary Poppins, yes, but precisely not a man. But if you really want to grasp my attention, tell me something I don't know. Make me curious.
Who are you behind the mask you show in front of the barbaric society? What makes you furious? What book made you melancholic? What do you fear the most? How do you pray? Or do you even pray? What are your beliefs? What scenario made you doubt if God really exists? Tell me the darkest secrets basking the still air of your room. What's the first thing pops into your mind when you wake up? Did you ever wish to never make it in the morning? What are your thoughts when you're lost in the void on your way to work? What was your first memory? Do you still want to play in a puddle under the rain; not in a cheesy, romantic way with your special someone but in a way to escape the reality of being an actual adult? Do you still call your mom when you ran out of reasons to pull your shit together? What was the last thing you did for the first time? Were you frightened? How uneasy you felt? Were you delighted? Were you close to peeing your pants? What? How? Tell me more! Who was the first person you considered a friend aside from your family?
How did you meet?
Do you still talk?
Are you afraid to get old?
What would you feel when you end up alone?
Are you afraid to die?
I want to know you. I want to know the person before he met me. I want you to feed me something raw. Make me fall in love with your character.
