Why do you like someone?
Do you initially like them for how they look, or for what kind of person they are?
Do you believe in faith, destiny, and serendipity, or do you just think everything is just a big coincidence?

A lot of people kept telling me about this certain girl. That this girl is awesome. They tell me she's beautiful, but never had they managed to show me a picture of her. They didn't even described her. What they told me about her instead is more on the kind of person she is. They told me her name, and that she is one good person. That she is an intelligent person, and a graduate of a prestigious university. And some other things that I can't really remember. Bottom line, if you could get to like a person even before seeing a glimpse of them, this would be probably one of those cases. Not that I know a ton about the person they were talking about, but from what I have already heard, she sounds like one great woman.
I probably do like her. If not for one bit of detail.
I think I probably like another woman already.
See, I have this peculiar tendency to be loyal. I like the flavor of milk tea or ice cream that I first tasted. I tend to stay with the first group I am a part of in a particular stage of my life. I tend to only like one woman at a time.
So how would I get to like the woman I am being told about, if I probably like another woman? (Yeah, I tend to sometimes overthink this stuff.)
Funny thing is, I don't know a thing about this second girl. All I know is how she looks, as I've seen her plenty of times before. I don't even know her name! But what I do know is that I like how beautiful her hair is, how dazzling her eyes are, how charming her lips are, and how heart melting her smile is. When she speaks, it seems to have an enchanting and calming effect on me. She's just gorgeous and beautiful and pretty. And that may be an understatement.
Let's do a recap then shall we?
We have the first girl, whom I have no idea how she looks, at all, but I do have at least the smallest idea of what kind of person she is. I even know her name.
And then we have the second girl, who I get to see a lot, but I know nothing more about her. Not even her name.
Finally, we have me, yours truly, and my own sense of loyalty.
As funny (or sad, depending on how you look at things) as it is, I could never truly like either girl. I feel like I better have some sort of commitment (to myself) on who to like. So if you were in my place, who would you probably choose to like? The first or the second girl?
Luckily for me, I never had to make the choice.
They turned out to be the same girl.
