The Nightmare
The Nightmare is the discussion of an expiry date. This expiry date is not on something tangible, yet something intangible (e.g. Memory, it expires as it gets worse). However, unlike memory, this end does not deteriorate and disperse, in fact it just stays the same, and unchangeable. This concept is about nothing less than the need of every human being, relationships.
The hypothesis of The Nightmare is based around no more than one male and one female. These two start to become friends and interact. Their communication and connection brings forth the potential for them to be everlasting close/best friends.
But, as humans go, feelings (other than friendship) may unfortunately (in some occasions) develop. As these feelings and emotions develop, one (or in rare cases, both) of the participants (usually the male) want to confront the opposition about their newly developed feelings, and plan to take the relationship "to the next level" (I'm sure you guys know what I mean by that). From this point, only a few things will happen, that is:
1) [If both participants develops the same feeling]
One of the participants will confront the other on their feelings, and as the confronted agent knows of their own emotions towards the confronter, they will begin a relationship.
(if the relationship lasts or not is dependent on the two people)
But usually its Happily Ever After.
2) [If both participants develops the same feeling]
Same result as the one from above, except the confronted participant does not want to "take the risk" of going to the "next level", causing there to be an awkwardness between the two participants for a period of time, until they slowly forget about the incident.
3) [If both participants develops the same feeling]
Slight chance, hardly ever happens though, that both sides will pretend that nothing is going on and that they don't have feelings for each other. This keeps the opposite end continuously guessing, and usually ends up with both sides forgetting about it, or having the occurrence of 1 or 2 (stated above).
4) [If only one participant develops a feeling]
If there's only one of the participants who develops the feeling, there's only two things that will happen. One will be that this person confronts the other with his feelings, and then the whole awkward silence period of time begins, stays like that for a while, and then they pretend like nothing ever happened.
5) [If only one participant develops a feeling]
The only other option is that this agent keeps the feeling/emotion to himself and well, stays like that. Of course the female will notice that there's something going on, but both sides pretends nothing ever happened. The funniest thing about this, is that sometimes the female begins to develop feelings when the male has moved on. Such a sad ending to it.
The expiry date occurs when the male doesn't do anything about asking out the female (which is 3 and 5) or is rejected (as in 2 and 4), so that the "love relationship" doesn't develop, meaning that the friendship develops. This bond continues to grow stronger until the relationship is at the point that they become extremely close/best friends, causing the idea of starting to date to be even riskier, and thus abolishing the thought as it definitely won't work out from this point forward.
The only way for these two to ever have a chance of dating in the future, is if they kind of become distanced for a period of time, and then see each other again and having feelings, allowing the expiry date to be renewed.
Thus, ending the thought of The Nightmare.
I feel complete sorry for all the males within this situation at the moment (and of course the occasional female). But keep this in mind: all guys have been in the same position as you, or will be in the future. Something inevitable to all males, and to some females. This hypothesis may also be simplified as a "one-way crush" or "two-way crush".
I did not state anything about the exceptions of either person already being in a relationship, but *shrug* it might happen.
Thank-you for reading
P.s. please don't keep this too much in your head, I'm just bored and writing something truthful out xD
