8 Tips on how to reject a guy

Rebecca's Point of View:

Finally it's the weekend but the only exciting thing is going grocery shopping. I usually go to the store by my house, but this time I chose to go to a different one. This store is a lot bigger than my original and it's going to get some time to get used to. Since I know I'm going to be here for a while, I should get familiar with the area. I hope some day soon, I'll be able to see Liam again because I can't get him off my mind. I really like Liam but I still feel bad I rejected Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks has been nice to me since I started, but I don't feel the same way as him.

As I enter the store I grab a shopping cart and go to the produce section, because I need to start eating healthier. I look at my shopping list and then when I look up I see Mr. Brooks. What's he doing here? Should I go over and say hi? Or should I pretend I never saw him? Just as I was about to turn around and leave, he sees me. To be polite I walk over and greet him, he has the biggest smile on his face and I have a feeling he still likes me.

"Hi! How are you?" Mr. Brooks says.

"I'm good, how about you?"

"I'm great now!" Why is he great now? Is it because he saw me?

Mr. Brooks then says, "I didn't know you come to this grocery store."

"Yea, I don't usually go to this one. But I figured to try something new." Now I'm never coming here again. In the corner of my eye I see a familiar face, and it's Liam! Changed my mind, now I will definitely come here now. Liam starts walking over in our direction. He says, "Hey! Don't you work at Monclairs Fashion Boutique?"

"Yea, I do. Remember when I helped you pick out a suite for your friends wedding?"

"Oh yea, how could I forget a pretty face like yours?" That's really nice of him to say, and I feel my cheeks heating up.

"Aww, you're blushing!"

"Oh I am? I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, I find that very attractive. Are you and this guy dating?" Pointing to Mr. Brooks.

"No, we are just co-workers." Liam turns his back to Mr. Brooks and asks me, "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"I would love to!"

"Great! I'll pick you up at seven." He writes down his number and gives it to me with a warm smile.

"Okay see great! See you then!"

Mr. Brooks Point of View:

When I saw Rebecca, my heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest. I didn't think I would see her outside of work so I wasn't dressed as professional. She started walking over to me so I tried to make myself look presentable. When she walks over, I say my usual greeting. She looked so beautiful it was to concentrate on what she was saying, but some how I managed.

At one point when I was talking to her, I saw the guy she was talking to the other day coming towards us. Why does he always have to show up? He starts talking to her and I can feel the jealousy inside me. I can't believe she flirts back with him. What does she see in him that I don't have? All of a sudden he whispers to her, and I have a feeling what he asked because Liam looked at me when he asked her that question.

Then he turn his back to me, like I don't exist and asks her to go on a date with him. He thought I couldn't hear him, but it was loud and clear. I was hoping she was going to say no because why would she want to go on a date with him? She doesn't even know this guy. When she said yes, my heart dropped. Why didn't she give me a chance when she gives him a chance? I guess I'll never be good enough for her. I guess I should just stop trying, because she clearly doesn't feel the same as me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
