Crushed


Malik Shabazz

Here's another short story from me, it's called "Crushed".

Crushed

It’s a late night. The TV is running. I sit in the middle of the sofa, while she sits to the left of me. There is a silence, and then she puts her feet on my lap. Those legs… Those brown, silky, long legs. I find myself resisting the urge to kiss and lick them, as if they were Fudgesicles. Trying to fight this feeling is futile. Maybe I should give into temptation just this once.

Then I woke up, and realized that it was just a dream. A dream that will never become reality. I’m just one of the many in a long list of men who seek her attention on a daily basis, and I’m all the way at the bottom. I’m not even honorable mention.

Every day I see her, and my greetings are met with cold shoulders. I’m not the best at taking hints, however. The more she ignores me, the deeper the obsession grows. It just makes me pursue her even more, like a dog chasing a cat. Then I realize that I mean nothing to her. If only she knew the depths of my lust for her. Dreaming about her helps me escape from reality; the reality that I can never have her, never hold her in my arms, never call her mine. The greatest feeling in the world is to love and be loved back, a feeling that I’ll never experience.

^This is exactly what women aim for. Whether they are interested in you or not, it's like second nature to see what exactly a man would do for a woman.

Overcoming you're insecurity and acting instinctively as yourself is then only way you'll know if there's something there.

Or, you could play the game back and throw a real WTF in there. This probably won't work if the feeling isn't somewhat mutual.

Confidence is the key to all success. Anyone can know you want them, but if you don't have the confidence to make it happen, it probably won't happen.

Every case is different though.

Yeah, you have to try not to care too much. Play it cool. If you can just be a friend, be in her life, an oppertunity may eventually present itself. That may be your best bet, but as Fox Fire said, every case is different.

The protagonist is kind of a dick. He is crying about his love for a woman, listing only her physical attributes. Maybe if he learned to approach women as humans rather than sexual objects he might find love easier to find.

I agree with you for the most part. However, and I'll speak for myself, when I see a good-looking girl walking down the street I don't know her personality or how intelligent she is. I only know that she has nice legs and a cute face. Not to say that I don't value them as human beings, just that I don't know them personally enough to appreciate their non-physical attributes.

This actually how I see it too.

Except that subjectifying ones self is just part of western female culture. Whether the women realizes she's doing it or not, she does. But another thing to keep in mind is the difference in male and female mentality. Men are more visually stimulated than women. Hence why nearly all of us subjectify ourselves for social gains. Even without realizing it.

Just don't push it and become a total dick. Women want to see self confidence, not a bag of dicks.

I am fairly certain that subjectify is not a word, so.....what?

Regardless of what Fox Fire meant, "subjectify" ought to be a word that means the opposite of "objectify."
