Annoying!

I have heard so many times that if somebody likes you they are annoying, they keep bugging you and pulling girls hair and bla bla bla...I do not like the explanation "they like you, that is why they act like that!" that is not seeing a problem!

Anyway.

I was at a friends place almost every day for 2 summers ago. I enjoyed it there, I had a friend that I could spend hours and hours with without realizing the time was passing. I liked to listen to him talk and also commenting once in a while, but for the most part I liked to be listening. Every once in a while he had some other friends over too. I liked them also, and we had so much fun!

Then there was this one guy, that I didn't talk to that much. He was there, but he was different. And as time went by I started to get annoyed with him. The music he played, the way he was.... starting to get under my skin. He also claimed that me and my friend were together, that we had feelings for each other. I was laughing, I did not want a relationship and I had no feelings other than friendship. I replied that he can call us what ever he wants. My friend on the other hand did not like it and tried all to convince the other guy that there was nothing between us.

Then my friend started to tell me that this guy has feelings for me. I was still laughing. I did not want a relationship, and as this one had feelings for me, I did not want anything to do with him. But he kept telling me how this guy feels about me. And at the same time warning me, because he did not want him to be playing with me and my feelings.

I can understand the feeling of protecting a friend, as he has lost friends just cause others have played with their hearts.

Despite everything that he told me and despite everything I did not feel....he once told me something that I replied "Tell him to try!". I was convinced that what ever he does, he will never win my heart. From that moment, and I remember that moment really clearly, there was a spark inside me. I got interested about this annoying boy. What is it that makes him feel so strongly about me? When we have not even been talking?

And once I was there again, at my friends place. I was having my day turned wrong, I couldn't sleep in the night. And sometimes it helps if I just remove one night and start over. So I wanted to go out. I wanted to go out partying and have fun! And this annoying boy, A, wanted to join. I thought that would be awesome! Just let's go! I still knew what my friend would be thinking, as he did not want us to be together, I wanted him also to join. And finally we managed to talk him into coming. And also another friend joined.

As we left the apartment I got a mission. To find a girl to A, I thought it was a joke so I said yes of course! When I then realized he was not joking I couldn't figure out a way to say, yeah well....I was joking... Who was I supposed to introduce him to? I found him annoying! (Yes, I have said it before!)

As we biked into town and waited for the other friend to arrive, I for the first time actually talked to him. Because he kept reminding me about my promise. And he made me laugh! I pointed out girls that would be good, and pretended to be sad when they had already passed.

We started to talk about where we wanted to go, and I have my favorite place. I said I want to go there. My friend wanted to go to another place, for A it made no difference. Finally we saw that the line to the place where my friend wanted to go to was sooooo long, we decided to go where I wanted to go. I went to check the price as they waited. And when I walked away A shouted "Jag älskar dig!" behind me. I was surprised  of course, but I know that in his culture you can say I love you early in a relationship, and also, I did not know if he knows the meaning of it. So I turned around, put my hands over my heart and sounded "Aaaaw!" then continued walking.
