TO ALL THE BOYS I HAVE NEVER LOVED BEFORE

Hello there, the boy next door. I remember the first time you came and spoke to me. You were new to the place and looking for a friend and I was more than happy to be one. We talked, laughed and became good friends. You asked me if I was single and I clearly remember saying ” Yes, but not ready to mingle” and you still went on to fall for me, get heartbroken and then turn it all around blame it on me. How convenient.

Hello there, childhood bestfriend. You and me, we grew up together. From sharing tiffins to sharing secrets, we came a long long way. So many years apart you never stopped making fun of me. You were my best buddy for so many years. And just because I would laugh at all your jokes, you took it as ” a signal” and told me that ” it’s about time we date”. When I said no, you called me heartless. How convenient.

Hello there, random college corridor friend. We started talking when you replied on a story that I posted on social media. Two days into a very happening conversation we found out we have so much in common. We started talking everyday, met more in college. Oh well, we also went out a few times, hungout at the movies, got some coffee together, discussed everything under the roof because we clicked so well. You told me you might be crushing on me, I warned you to not fall for me because I won’t be able to reciprocate it back. Guess what ? You still did, you asked me out, I said no and then you just completely pushed me away because you needed ” time and space to move on” and just like that I lost another friend. How convenient.

Dear 21st century Indian boys, I call you boys and not men because you are immature. You all call women emotional when actually its you all who carry their heart on their sleeves, get it broken at the drop of a hat and then turn it all around and blame us !

I understand that the sex ratio of India isn’t fair. And that trying your luck with love has been hard, but you also need to understand that every other girl who talks to you nicely and is friendly is NOT INTERESTED IN YOU ! Here’s to all the boys I have never loved before, move on.
