Getting The "Best Apple" Isn't Easy

First things first, I guess some of you, my friends especially, will know what "best apple" means after reading certain blog. Well then, if you don't, then I'm talking about your best partner, be it a boy or a girl. In my case, it's a girl no doubt.

If I recalled properly, I spent around eight months until I could confess properly. I took that long to make sure that we both could at least understand more about each other, to let her get used with my bad temper, to allow me to get used to her speechlessness when she's out of the mood.

The first few months, I spent time to stay online as many times as possible because she was studying faraway. We weren't so close yet, so we couldn't text much, so online conversations were much much better. There were times when I waited in vain as she didn't go online.

After that, I decided to call her. And the time spent on deciding whether or not to call was much longer than the one spent talking with her on phone. I remembered asking her if she forgot to bring her calculator again. The conversation was brief, but that was a good improvement, I guessed. And from then on, I called her whenever she went back to her study place, something made it into a practice, you know.

I know all I did was pretty normal, lame even, to some people, then again I still preferred simplicity.

And asking her out during the early period, before confessing, was pretty hard too. She came from a quite conservative family, so when I asked her out, I had to find another reason for that. Something like, taking her to a tuition class together.

After confessing, I sent her a simple gift and went on (and still going on) doing that until she eventually graduated. Those gifts were simple yet they had their very own meaning.

After that, we decided to tell our parents. It was ok for me but I was worried about her. Well, I was proven wrong and her parents gave their permissions to go out with me. I was glad everything went well. With an old, but still usable tactic, I kinda successfully held her hand on our first date. Well, what can I say, ya?

Now, whenever we go for dates, I will try to do something new. As an example, she likes cute things like teddy bears. So, I took all the bears from my house, they belong to my sister, and placed them at the rear seat. I told her we were bringing our babies along with our date. And then she smiled. See? A simple move can bring a lot of happiness too. Oh, and believe me, I did many wrong moves too before coming to the right ones.

All in all, you still need perseverance in order to get the "best apple", in other word, the best partner. Because it is always the best thing that requires the best price and it often offers you the best qualities. Now, I'm not saying I am a professional but I'm just writing it from my experience. Last but not least, hard indeed it is to get the "best apple", but once you do, you won't even want to look for other "apple"s.
