Backing Off

Filed under: Mailed-in — Hrishikesh @ 03:15

If you are the considerate and sensitive fellow, tell me what do you do in the following scenarios:
 
I
Your best friend is talking to someone, and you can’t help wanting to be a part of the conversation.
 
II
You are trying very hard to get her attention, only unsuccessfully. Then you notice she is already with someone.
 
III
An acquaintance is having a delicious delicacy, when you catch sight of them.
 
Do you back-off?
 
In which of the three scenarios?
 
When do you decide to back-off?
 
The problem is that we can’t exactly decide whether backing off is a good idea, or not. If you want to achieve your goal, sticking to your guns and getting the job done (knowing more about the conversation, scoring with her, and getting a taste of that mouth-smacking temptation) is important. But we sometimes don’t do that.
 
Does that imply that we are not assertive enough?
 
Is it completely wrong to expect people to back-off? Does that happen only in an idealistic world?

    Back off on II and III. I have no trouble easing into conversations between two complete strangers, and (let me boast!) being accepted either.

    If someone I fance has a ring around their finger, I’ll back off.

    If some acquaintance – not friend – is eating something delicious, I wont bother. If its a friend, i will most certainly butt in. Else order one for meself, if possible…
