The Complicated Mind of Boys?

Lets be honest with each other for a brief moment: Girls will spend the rest of their lives trying to understand boys.

Now, boys, I know what you are all saying "We aren't as complicated as you guys make us out to be!" and I understand that, you guys don't have the complexity of a mindset that we have, but I still find myself thinking through complex scenarios about why a boy gave me his number over a Facebook chat without me asking,  or why the guy I like won't talk to me after he finds out about my crush on him. I understand the answer could be as simple as "He just wants to talk to you" or "He's just not that into you" but I will keep thinking of every possibility until I stumble cross the one that flatters me the most.

For example, today I told my friend Steve about Forrest's and Maddie's situation, I mentioned how the most recent development was Forrest "liking" Maddie's picture on Facebook of her in her homecoming dress (which cost like $300 so she better have gotten a "like" out of someone for that). I asked Steve if this meant anything and he told me that Forrest probably liked Maddie, which I found shocking, not that Forrest likes Maddie, but that Steve would admit that was probably the case. Steve told me that whenever he likes a girl he will go through their Facebook wall.

A relief to women! We aren't the only ones!

Steve's honesty made me realize that I am so far off with boys, maybe boys aren't really that far off from girls as I thought they were. Which reminds me of one time I was in a sleep away camp, and a few girls and I snuck over to the boys cabin and watched them through a window, only because my friend Lexi had a crush on one of the boys Chris. What I saw through that window was shocking, it was like looking through a mirror, a gender changing mirror, they boys were having pillow fights, sitting around in a circle talking, and playing silly stupid games. I can't remember what Lexi found out about Chris that night, but for the rest of that week I couldn't look at any of those boys the same. Not in the bad way, like I had walked in on them painting their nails, or perming their hair, but in a sense that I wasn't so scared to talk to them like I would talk to one of my girl friends.

So maybe women have had it wrong all along, maybe men aren't as far away as we think they are. I still doubt men spend restless nights thinking about the girl they love, with an ache in their stomach, but I guess they do actually stalk us on Facebook, but that's flattering and we like that most of the statuss' we make are about you boys anyways. I think today has officially given me a new insight on boys, maybe now I can move on from the old heartbreaks, because if the guy can move on and get over me, I can definitely get over him.
