Why are so many decent people single nowadays?
I don't know if I qualify to be called decent, but as others say, I am believing it for now and answering this question.
We were in Mumbai, a group of 23 people. Apart from our professional works, we were able to explore Mumbai during evenings. One such evening passed and I came back to my hotel, was tired, went to bed and was midway in entering the door of sleep.
My phone rang. It was a girl from our group. The conversation went like this-
Her : I have to say something to you.
Me : Yes, say( although I wasn't in mood as I was half asleep)
Her : I like you yaar, the way you are. You are so simple, decent, mature. And I am just opposite to you. You will handle me for sure, which I am not able to do.
She started praising the way I am, how could I manage her etc. Her voice was so real, filled with emotion that I believed her.
Me : Hey! What happened? Is everything alright with you?
Her: Yeah.
Me: Why such thoughts, suddenly? ( I thought she might have drunk a bit more)
Her: It was this feeling in my heart that I had kept and wanted to tell you. Now that I have said, I am free from inside. It's okay if you have nothing as such for me.
I was really shocked, puzzled, lost my wit, confused. I didn't know what to say to her. I knew there was nothing as such from my side, but I didn't want her to feel bad. I thought it would be better to talk to her tomorrow and make her understand.
Me: Hey! Listen, we are going to talk about it tomorrow. It's quite late as well.
Her: okay!
I was tensed and that thing was going in my head , how would I make her understand and how would I even face her the next day.
I wasn't able to sleep. And after an hour, my door bell rings. I got terrified that it might be her. I opened and it was her. She was carrying a broad smile on her face.
Twist comes here.
Her: Man, I am really sorry for whatever I said, I didn't want to disturb you. But we were playing truth and dare and that was the dare given to me. I had to tell those to a guy and I couldn't find anyone more safer than you.
See, this is the plight of a decent guy in general. We are safer to be played with. And I was relieved after hearing that, although I couldn't sleep the whole night.
That was just a prank and there was nothing wrong in whatever happened. This story is just an example which points at some related serious happenings , if you can correlate, which deeply hurt us. And therefore , most of us understand that being single is better than fake mingle.
