The Odd Number

A friend told me that we can never really understand women. I disagree; Rather, I believe we should never really ever entertain thoughts of even trying to hope to understand them.

And no, my friend and I are not sexist. We're merely stating our opinions and I'm putting mine down to writing so I can remember.

And since I've begun with this, I'd like to continue further down.

I will never understand romantic relationships either since I've never been in one. Know that adage that goes, "Better late than never"? Well, I don't think it applies here. I'm just several years too late for anything. I'd say I'm a late bloomer but I fear that would be a lie since I've yet to develop that aspect of my person.

In high school, I've had several half-assed attempts at courting, none of which I had tirelessly pursued. It seems I had (have?) a tendency to give up easily (which is odd in itself because I dislike losing. Hm, perhaps this is an exception). This was carried over to college and perhaps, it worsened because I got exposed to vices that would help me "cope". And now I'm this guy approaching his mid-20s and I never even got to write a girl a cheesy, corny love letter. I never received one either. Oh well.

You might say "It's never too late" but I won't believe you. With the direction time is naturally going, it will always too late.
