Why Am I Single?

ખબર નહી મારી સાથે આવું કેમ થાય છે ! જ્યારે પણ કોઇ પ્રેટી ગર્લ (Pretty
Girl) મને રસ્તામાં મળે, ને સામેથી conversation start કરે તો હું એની
સાથે વાત નથી કરી શકતો. જાણે ત્યાંથી ,એની સામેથી ઝટ ભાગી જવાનું મન થાય
છે ને હું ક્યાંક જવામાં મોડું થાય છે એવું બહાનું બતાવીને છટકી જાઉં છું
. May બી એટલે જ હું અત્યાર સુધી Single રહી ગ્યો છું, મારું ક્યાંય
Setting નથી થયું.

Well, today was another such experience. I was coming out of the ATM
this evening, when She bumped into me. The first two seconds passed as
If I was 'Statued' then and there- My eyes popped out, mouth wide open
and both feet in Mid-stance. Then there was a cute "HI !" and I had to
reach really deep into my chest to pull out a tiny 'HI....' in
response. I suddenly felt myself at loss of words. Everything around
me seemed to stand still, and most of all my brain activity seemed to
have frozen. Still, she started a conversation, and I had to join it
for good. She asked me How was I doing. And where was I posted under
School-health program. How was it all going. I tried giving my answers
in as short sentenses as possible with minimum cues to the next
question. But somehow she kept on finding minute threads in my answers
on which to weave another question.

I tell you, as her questions went on, I started feeling uncomfortable.
My eyes started wandering, my tongue slipping words. And soon before I
could fall in front of her on my trembling feet, I played my
master-stroke and Pulled out the "I'M GETTING LATE- PLZ EXCUSE Me"
card.

When I turned my back on her, I could see a strange look of disbelief
in her eyes, wondering what the hell was wrong with me,that I was so
freaked out.

As the February as come just now,and Valentine day is not much far, I
guess I need to be more tolerating towards girls so as to increase my
prospects of getting a match I so sincerly deserve.
