The Life of Bloody Mary

I should warn you nothing has been exaggerated in this article and neither am I being sexist. These are all true incidents and none of these idiocies are to be imitated. 

There is a reason why girls are so good at putting off guys, and also a reason why some guys would have never have to even come across such a situation. Every girl would know one thing for sure - guys are terrible at taking hints. Of course, one must admire their resilience and optimism, despite the repeated manoeuvres to get away from them. The hope that their crush would

like their picture on Facebook, or even respond to their messages gives them a reason to unfailingly try to have a conversation longer than ten lines the next day. It all starts with a request that seems innocent, or a forward that seems harmless, but it grows faster than a tumour. Soon enough, they're sending you messages wishing you a good morning, and a good evening, and then a good night. They stalk you day and night, and are updated with every meal you have and every place you visit. The horror. 

Initially you think, it's just a boy. How much harm can a mixed up chromosome do to one? Boy, was I wrong. One can end up with hundreds of followers and stalkers because of one mix-up.  

Although it's tiresome to keep ignoring the gawking and ogling, and the stalkers constantly at work, there are certain perks to it as well. You get to read tons of hilarious one-liners, cheesy pick-up lines and what not. You will soon be well-versed with every one of their excuses to get your number and they might turn out useful in case you ever plan on using them. Strangers will ask you out to dinner, praise you in flattery and get you high on narcissism. You'll always feel like the most popular person in the world, your phone flooding with messages.  

Thankfully, Facebook was smart enough to keep a folder called "Others" ever since the rising trend of talking to strangers online started spreading. There is a tremendous need to filter out the stalkers from the acquaintances. Save the girl child indeed!
