We met at the party and he liked my best friend Caroline very much. So we got to know each other in his pursuit of Caroline. At first, I treated him with the same attitude as ordinary friends, but gradually he began to tell me his bothering things As a result, the two of us became good friends. That is, at that time, Caroline rejected his pursuit and disconnected from him. When he told me the news, I found that I had a hint of luck in my heart. Until then, I realized that I seemed to already like this impulsive big boy. He once said that if he likes a person, he wants to give her all the good things in the world, wants to protect her and make her feel secure. And As long as she is happy, Jackson will be happy as well. I remember at that time, I was very envious of the girl he liked, who is able to reap all the attention of a person beyond family and friends. I look forward to such a life, but I dare not to imagine. Because I know that he is concerned about my best friend. I like his impulse, which made him enthusiastic at the same time. I also like his innocence, which led me to see the kindness of this boy's heart in this world. I also remember that after being rejected, he did not feel upset. He just calmly accepted the result and went back to his life and study. Instead of sending the prepared gifts, he respected each other's decisions and chose not to disturb Caroline's life. He knew it was easy to part, and always looks forward instead of staying in the same place. Jackson won't regret his decision, for he has enough mental capacity to accept all unknown results. Now I would like to know him in a new identity, no longer under the guise of a friend to care about him. In his eyes, I'm a worthy person. He always praises me as a mature, self-reliant person. Perhaps my relationship with him has exceeded the boundaries of good friends. Before that, I was his love mentor, a tree hole that can share life and secrets. For now, I seem to like his younger sister who needs to be taken care of. He got angry once when he knew I was on a diet to lose weight. In the middle of that night, he pulled me to a restaurant immediately because he said he was hungry. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, we both care about each other. But to me, it would be strange to say ambiguous words to him, and even if I give him a lot, it will be defined as a care between friends. How to get out of this existing relationship has become the biggest problem. I hope that after this class, I can use the knowledge I learned in this class about how contact between two people can actively promote the relationship between lovers, to make him feel different from friend relationship. All in all, in the coming year, Jackson and I may have our ups and downs, but no matter the laughter or the tears, I hope that I will not finally pay all the efforts in vain.
