OK. 2 news about guys making silly decisions due to... unrequited love?
So you think you're being faithful and persistent, until the bitterness builds up to the extent that it's no longer under your control?
It upsets me seeing guys losing themselves like that. Brings back unwanted memories.

They say 戏如人生, but recent events got me to wonder whether life is really like what we see on TV. What if the people making the shows we watch and the songs we listen to are as clueless as we are?
"Persistence". "Faithfulness". All lauded as virtues on TV. Ask, beg, suck up, get down on your knees, send her creepy and awkward SMSes, stand in the rain. Get the girl. 'Cause all these make her happy.
Yeah right.
"I believe I can give her happiness."
Yeah when even the sight of you pisses her off? Gives her the creeps?
And then when your bubble bursts and nothing works out for you, you get bitter.
Real bitter. And destructive.
My recent readings on self-help made me realise how dangerous it is for guys to, in the words of one of the writers, "give the girl all the power".
Decision making power, power to shake your perception of reality, and then the power to put you down.
Especially dangerous if it's all a one-sided effort.
