Not Because I Like You, Doesn't Mean You'll Have Me
Some people will take advantage when they know you are into them. I had a crush before who always makes my day even just seeing his back or the tip of his hair. When the guy knows I have a thing for him, he started to pursue me.
When he's pursuing me, my crush feelings for him started to fade because he's too full of himself. He even asked me “Why you're so pakipot? When I know you are in to me?” we were on a disco bar that time and we were having a sweet dance.
“Even if I like you a lot, that doesn't mean you'll have me as your girlfriend” I replied with a bitchy smile.
“Why? Aren't you happy that I'm making a move to make you my girlfriend” he asked.
“Even if I want to, that doesn't mean I can't stop myself.”
“Why? Why you're so tough? Why are you dumping me when you are so into me?”
“You wanna know why? It's because you don't respect me. Just because you know I like you doesn't mean, you can't get me that easily.” I paused..
“I know what you are thinking, you think I'm an easy bitch. And if I say yes, that'll prove your point, then you'll take advantage of me later on and leave me when you're done.”
“Goodbye, and my crush feelings for you has officially ended” then I gave him a kiss on his cheeks.
He was stunned, but he never chased me. He was ashamed.
It was the last time I saw him. When I visited my cousins place, she told me that the guy wants to ask my number. She said the guy said she courted me but I rejected him. He wants to make it up to me, as he was thinking I'm an easy catch.
He misunderstood me. Oh well, most people had this first impression of me that I am an easy bitch! Without them knowing, I am really a bitch who can suppress her feelings just so I can play them on my palm. LOL.
What's the catch of sharing this?
Well, as a dignified woman..you should not settle for less. You should not ignore red flags just because you like that someone. Respect is the first thing you should check when someone is trying to get you.
Some guys are so full of themselves especially when they know they are too attractive physically. When they know you are into them. Because later on when relationship happens, he will only take advantage of you and leave you when he's done with you.
Some people have this bad impressions on me that I am an easy girl because I mingle with different guys. Without them knowing, I am actually filtering who are bad ass and not.
Sometimes even if we are hopelessly romantic, we can't just give in to people who doesn't respect us in the first place. Respect is important as it will be one of the foundation of relationship later on. Without respect on the first encounter and few dates, it should be ended. Don't be like a moth who throws itself into a fire.

It's better to be a "pakipot" rather than be someone who is "malambot ang long" or someone who easily gets into the trap of boys. It doesn't mean that the person we like has all the right to abuse our feelings. Us, girls should not tolerate that. We can express our feelings but we should not let them take advantage of it.
