What to do if someone doesn't respond to you
You cannot make anybody love you, the way you want them to. All you can do is be your best. You can try to make them notice your efforts. You can be sweet, kind, thoughtful , charming and sexy. And you can give them gifts, write them mails, text them, call them and let them know in more ways than one, how much you enjoy their company. That's it. Beyond that you can't do anything much. (No, stalking isn't an option).
Relationships can happen only if two people want the same thing out of them. Or at least similar things. They happen when you make each other laugh, when you totally get the other person without long winded explanations and when you know that just the sound of their voice can soothe you and it is the same for them. Relationships mean there is an ease of comfort in each other's company and you feel something amiss if you haven't connected for a while.
Just because you feel that way about someone, it does not mean that they have to feel that too. Sometimes there are connections made that fizzle out even when the sparks seem to be there. Sometimes they arise from the most unexpected places. Sometimes despite your best efforts nothing happens---and they just don't reciprocate.
Despite all that you do, if they don't respond you just have to let it be. As painful as it may be.
And trust that this was for the best.
And someone or something better is waiting to happen.
You have got to believe it.
And this was just the way it is was meant to be.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, i have read the book and its great! Actually the title is so catchy.. couldn't have missed it.
ReplyDeleteJust to give a headsup to heart broken people "HardShips just makes you stronger" [ i have been through non-responding case :( ]
Secondly, what you have blogged is so so true. However i would really appreciate if you could write something about "what if the other person is already in love with someone else?"
Thirdly, i post explanation about SOUL MATE on behalf of my friend[without that person knowing]. This is how it felt while being in love and i think this explanation is just awesome and damn straight.
-----------
"It shud be like no matter how much time u have spent wit that person, u miss him the next second he leaves..
simplest of the simple things about him feels so precious to you as if no other guy exists in this world
it feels like God creates a carbon copy of ur heart and creates another human being out of it and thats him.
All this time when everything else was going wrong, and when he enters ur life.. it all just falls right into place.. like a complete jigsaw puzzle
He isn't meant to fit anywhere else in the world other than in ur life
when u look into his eyes it will be electrifying.. as if u can totally read what's on his mind.. there is no need for any words to be told
If given a hypothetical situation, you can totally predict how he would react or feel about it.. because that exactly how u wud feel about it..
that would be your soulmate.
I can't explain it.. when that moment happens. when u know u r in love wit someone.. it just rings bells in your mind.. automatically.. it doesn't need to be told
everything seems so very new and it feels like God is showering all his grace only on u"
very well written...upto the mark :)
DeleteI was made to read this poem by my sister after reading I felt really good it kind of sums up ur blog preeti... here's the poemPeople always come into your life for a
ReplyDeletereason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you
know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a
REASON,
It is usually to meet a need you have
expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a
difficulty,
Or to provide you with guidance and
support,
To aid you physically, emotionally, or
even spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend to you,
and they are.
They are there for the reason you need
them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your
part or at an inconvenient time,
This person will say or do something to
bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they
just walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to
take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need
has been met, our desire fulfilled; their
work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been
answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a
SEASON,
It is because your turn has come to
share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of
peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have
never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable
amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a
season.
And like Spring turns to Summer and
Summer to Fall,
The season eventually ends.
LIFETIME relationships teach you
lifetime lessons;
Those things you must build upon in
order to have a solid emotional
foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person anyway;
And put what you have learned to use in
all other relationships and areas in your
life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship
is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or
a lifetime.
Hi Ajay thank you for sharing such a lovely poem I truly agree with the fact that everyone who come in your life is for a reason. Although it becomes difficult at times to accept the fact when they move out of your life. It is hard as Preeti said in her blog to accept it but you gotta believe that it was meant that way.

ReplyDeleteOk. Thank you for writing 5 simple, yet marvelous books.
I will never forget them. And the stories in there are me and mine
standing and like happening with me. I think of writing so much
and also do write small articles and poems. I am living science.
I have to tell you something. What you are telling right now is
true and is for ever. But,we have to remember we are human
beings and hope makes us. Hence, even though knowing the truth
that someone is not responding, we(human beings) and of course
all living organisms do what they love to do.
In my opinion, "The one they can not have, but they still love that one."
Thank you again. for nice books and pages you are sharing.
True . Completely true :-)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Preeti.. I tell the same to the Young souls who feel depressed when the person they like do not respond similarly. Very well writen.
ReplyDeleteThis piece of advise thru your article has come at the right moment for me, when I was actually requiring it to make myself strong again, thanks for sending it at the right time Preeti, very true and well said and told !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs Always, keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Preeti,
ReplyDeleteWhat you have said is true. Even if we force a feeling into someone's heart, it is going to be short lived. It is better to sit back and wait till the feeling grows in them or till we know that the person is 'The One yoU Cannot Have'.

Preeti,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote this for me, didnt you? I was feeling miserabe today because someone i'm invested in so much emotionally doesn't reciprocate the same way. It felt as if you sat me down and told me this personally. Thanks a lot for this. I'm feeling better already.
Love,
Hey Preeti
ReplyDeleteAs always your simplicity of explaining the hardbound facts of life makes me fall in love with your writing every time. They way you have explained the difficulty of the acceptance when people move out of your life is simply amazing.
Keep motivating us.
Cheers:-)
Hi Preeti, Wishing you a very very Happy New Year and many more books which would be super hits like all your other books had been. As Jyothi says above, this exactly the feeling which a reader gets when he/she reads your posts, it is as if you read their minds. This is a tremendous gift Preeti. May God bless you always and take care. I have been your ardent fan even before you became the celebrated author of 5 books and I am so proud of you, it is as if someone close to me is so successful and so down to earth at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Happy, safe, successful, Prosperous and peaceful New Year to you once again

Hi Preeti,
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading this book. It was amazing. You have a great sense of writing. Once someone starts reading your book he wishes to stop only when its last page. :) The way you put some of the thoughts as facts in between, is awesome.
Thank you for this book. It was really amazing!!!
