Winning someone over…

24 May 2004 - Under General By Mandrake

I just watched “50 First Dates” last night. Well, first of all, its a “sweet movie”, as Dee said.

Its about this girl (Drew Barrymore) who has a short term memory problem after a car accident. She can only retain the memory she had for a day, her memory for that day is wiped clean when she go and sleep at night. Basically she is stuck at a particular day before the accident. Along came Henry (Adam Sandler) who fell in love with her, and even when he knows her condition, he still tries to go after her everyday, not that he succeed everyday.

Its indeed nice, but the truth is, can anyone really try to win the heart of the same woman everyday? Do you have the patience, diligent to do it?

    from a cynic’s point of view, such a situation will never happen. no male will ever be so patient as to continuously try to win the girl’s heart everyday. after a week, if he doesnt get to base 1 at least, he’d just give up. confirm plus guarentee plus chop.

    unfortunately, life isnt as sweet and romantic as we’d like it to be.

    on a slightlier happier note and totally unrelated to your post, i have a new fav car today! i want the subaru impreza wrx! i want it in blue! with a huge ahbeng spoiler and big exhaust and flashing ahbeng wheels and tinted windows! i didn’t realise that it was such a yummy car. reub used to have the white one before he got the current one, but i always thought it was hideous. now i think it’s damn yummy!

    True, if anyone knows such a person, I want to buy him a drink.

    If one of my friends were so foolish, I would put him out of his misery with my bare hands.

    i just happened upon this sight, seems like no one has been here in awhile but i thought i’d right something anyways.
    guys like this do exsist, i know because i’m one.
    i’ve been trying to win a girl over for just over a month now to no avail. but i’m not thru yet, i’ll give it another 2 months. then reasses the situation.

    just thought i’d let you know that there are decent men out there. if only a few

    von adams: You go boy.. all the best for you. If you think she is worth it, 2 months might not be enough. If you think she is worth, just bring it out to her. What else do you have to lose?

    I have been trying to win over a girl for about a year now… To tell you the truth i love her to bits she is the only one for me… Sadly the only thing that holds us back is the fact that her Mother will never accept me… I am reaching my end on this i dont know what to do anymore…

    I came across this site and let me tell you, this kind of love- or obsession ( you take your pick) exists. It’s this notion of attachment and people as possession’s that we link to the continual hope and time investment toward another. In the matters of the heart, I think someone will go to outrageous lengths to try and get the object of their affection…it’s just unfortunate though because at one point or another…what makes the other person crazy ? rather than just plain old romantic or undyingly in love?

    random finding, though a good one.

    i agree with some of the people on this.. this sort of obsession does exist. though it really depends on your individual personality. unfortunately for some, its extremely hard to disconnect one’s self with the perfect (or even imperfect) image you have built up in your head, because it gets so familiar.

    maybe they should be looking for a drug to suppress it!
