No yaar.. We are “just friends”
Even while saying this, she wished if they were not “just friends” and she knew that the feeling was mutual. But none had ever admitted or expressed their feelings.
Finally the day dawned ‘The Valentine’s Day’. He called in the morning and they had a very casual talk. She was waiting for him to say something special. But he talked all about the cricket match that was broadcasted last night. Also there were boring discussions about notes and college and future plans. It was a typically routine conversation and then both hung up. She had a mixed feeling. She was excited as well as tensed. What if he didn’t feel anything about her! No, she knew he loved her, but didn’t express his feelings.
She sat quietly thinking of all the days they spent together and reliving the moments of how they first met and every valentine’s day that she spent alone thinking of him and expecting to hear something nice from him. Her heart skipped a beat when she thought that even this year she would be alone. Confused and tensed she just waited all day long for his call. Her heart beat faster with every tick of the clock. It was 6pm when her phone rang.
“Hello. I was thinking if we could go out for dinner tonight.”
She was filled with excitement. Was it a date or just a casual dinner? Whatever it was she knew that tonight was going to be special, but she had no idea how grand would it be…
Outside her apartment he wasted almost 10 mins to think as to what he was going to say. He held flowers in one hand and thought “I’ll go down on my knees and… no that would look too dramatic. I’ll just casually give her the flowers and we would go out.. but that would be too boring for a day like this”. He could not decide and just before he could think of anything better she opened the door. There he stood transfixed looking at the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He kept mum and handed her the flowers because he was afraid he would utter some rubbish and spoil the mood.
He had a perfect plan of candle light dinner and romantic music which went exactly opposite. Nothing worked out as per the plan. Unexpectedly that day the place was very crowded and hence the romantic music was of no use.
There was an awkward silence as they were seated on the two cosy chairs of the restaurant. They finished their dinner silently. Outside the restaurant their was a porch were they sat in silence. He decided that he could not let go off this opportunity and finally with all the courage he broke the silence saying “Please close your eyes. I have something for you”. She closed her eyes and he kept staring at her thinking when would the day dawn when she would be with him forever. He opened a small packet and handed a box to her. She opened her eyes and found a red coloured box in her hands. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she found a heart shaped pendant in the box. She was speechless and silence fell between them again. “You are very special for me. You have no idea what importance do you have in my life”. He kept on speaking and she wished he would never stop. At least this was executed as per plan!
Finally when they were about to leave, he bent down on his knees and said those three magical words. “I LOVE YOU”. It was magical. She expected that the evening was going to be special, but so special!!!
Express your feelings to your loved ones before its late. Even you could make someone’s evening special..
Valentines Day Proposing Ideas
Posted by rajesh.chikkala in Valentine's Day on February 11th, 2011
Valentine’s Day is the perfect choice to propose to the woman of your dreams. If you have been thinking of popping the questions, Valentine’s Day is the perfect choice for you. Selecting the right location is the key for setting up the perfect mood for proposing. Take her to a place which is significant in your relationship, like the place where you first expressed your feelings for each other. If she is not comfortable with sharing special moments with strangers in a public place, choose a personal location for this.
Make this a special occasion for her, by proposing to her in an innovative way. If she is a die-hard romantic, go down on your knees and then propose to her. Do not forget the flowers and the ring while you are proposing. If she is very close to her family, then you can propose at the Valentine’s party while she is surrounded by family and close friends. She will totally adore you for this thoughtful gesture and definitely accept your proposal of marriage. Be ready with tissue papers for some ‘tears of joy’ that will flow soon after
Recreating a special moment is another wonderful way of proposing to your girl. You have a number of choices for recreating occasions; it can be your first date, first dinner, first movie, first meeting or any other event which was a milestone in your relationship. You will require some help for this, especially if you want her family and friends to be present as you are proposing. The timing must be such that they drop in to the venue, just a few moments before you are about to propose. You can even ask for her hand from her parents, before you propose to her. This lovely gesture is sure to win you many many hearts.
I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends..

I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
10th grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called “best friend”. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said “thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn’t want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said “thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick” she said; he’s not going to go well, I didn’t have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as “best friends”. So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn’t think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said “I had the best time, thanks!” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, “you’re my best friend, thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say “I do” and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said “you came!”. She said “thanks” and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my “best friend”. At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love him but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too…` I thought to my self, and I cried.
