Posted by Nikos (Salonica, Greece) on 17 February 2007 in Landscape & Rural.
I met once a beautiful woman and fell in love with her.She seemed to like me at first,but when I expressed my feelings she said she didn't feel the same for me.I tried hard to gain her love.I gave her flowers,I left flowers outside her door when she wasn't there and on her car at nights for her to find them next morning.I called her and played love songs without talking.I sent her messages telling her I needed her.None of that ever worked out.
Then,just after a while,when I was finally over her,I met another woman who I also fell in love with.And she also seemed to be fond of me at the beginning.This time though I convinced myself that I wouldn't be that pushy and that I would wait in a discrete distance for her.No flowers or love songs this time.But as the time went by,I had no result and when I finally confessed my feelings,I got rejected again.
What do you think is better when you are in such a situation,going after someones love or waiting back for him/her?
I wish I could watch this sunset holding hands with either of those two women...

Good colors, very expressive. I like the clouds in the upper-half, especially.

@Alex: Thanks for your kind words.
Nikos - the image is spectacular - 1st class - wonderful colors! The question you pose at the end will have as many answers as people who read it! Every situation or every relationship just like very individual is gloriously UNIQUE! There is no one else in the world like you or like the next wonderful person that comes in to your life. Your uniqueness or individuality is the only thing that can never be taken away from you - likewise with every other person. We all should embrace and celebrate and remain true to our individuality. SO - be yourself, the unique, 1 in history Nikos! If you try to be someone else (a perceptual character) - then what happens when you both form a relationship and find out you are not who you thought you/they were? Love your self 1st - and then someone will see the unique, special Nikos that you are! Best of luck!

@Jerry: Great answer Jerry.I guess what you say is what everyone should have in mind in such a situation.Of course I was myself both times,I did nothing that I wouldn't have done anyways. The truth is I have learned a lot from those two stories and I posted this question mostly for my blog's visitors to think for themselves,maybe to make some soul-searching stimulated by my little story.
Hello Nikos....your photo is spectacular the shine and the color of the water , the colors of the light that the sky gives you the last moments of TODAY.......because tomorrow is another day.I think that you have skills in poetry too as in photography.Your story is so familiar to me.I have done this not once , and tell you something i overdone it i leave even and little poems in the cars and i was very very persistence(gently) and at last i get a phone call or a date.After years i realize that the wonderful feelings is mine,i feel them,i enjoy them and i give them as a gift,if someone don't like my gift i 'm not narrowing i keep love them without bothering them and i have make them mine.. maybe not the body but the soul...Someday some girl grab the opportunity ...me..Anyway my English is not so well and maybe i make mistakes that give you wrong meaning but Nikos Keep walking,keep loving,keep giving....and keep making great photos.Xairomai pragmatika pou me vrikes an ta pas kala apo greeklish find me in msn phillip_ [AT] msn [DOT] com.
