HE : An engineer. Analytical. Problem-solver.
And mostly emotionally challenged.
SHE : He's bandi friend.
{Situation} He and She are talking. He really likes to talk to She. Also, He cares for her. She also likes to talk to talk to him, likes to discuss a lot of stuff with him.
Right now, She is cribbing about some pain in her life. Some personal problem maybe.
Two things can happen:
1. (in 99% of cases) His engineer mind will get to immediate problem-solving action mode. Will give scores of suggestions, ideas. She has some problem or other with every such idea. But he doesnt understand that he's not looking at the right thing, he just keeps trying.
Result : Bandi not satisfied. He is definitely satisfied by his 'performance' and will also think he did a good job. But, She is NOT satisfied at all.
2. (in 1% of cases) He will simply listen to her. Hear it out. Not try to give solutions but just listen.
Result : She feels that her purpose of talking to He is served. She was able to say what she wanted. She likes him.

Dude, I dont think now you need to be told if you need to do 1 or 2? You want to be happy yourself or make her happy? Chamka? :-)

so what choice did you make?
i think i made 1 most of the times.. learnt my lesson..
Can we have a post on the lessons learnt?
No :P
Well, lesson learnt is, be yourself. If you instinctively do 1, do 1 but be very very good at it. Just be yourself :)
