As the book says, many people can only meet once in a lifetime, and after passing by, they may never meet again.

Sometimes, I think it’s really like that. You want to meet someone, but you might use up all your luck, and the final result is still unknown.

So, at that moment, if you don’t make an effort and grab the other person’s hand tightly, who knows if you’ll drift apart and never see each other again.

However, when you’re young, many people don’t realize the seriousness of the problem and think life is long, and the future is waiting.

But they don’t think that after turning around, they might discover that they can never go back.

Some people say that the person who takes the initiative first loses. But for some encounters, if you don’t take the initiative, the other person will quietly slip out of your sight in the flow of time.

Men, don’t always think that women should take the initiative.

Although being a man doesn’t mean you have to take the lead in everything, a man’s sense of responsibility and commitment are what women need to feel secure.

Why do women accept a relationship? Isn’t it to settle their hearts and have a sense of belonging?

If a man’s emotional expression is not enough to give a woman a sense of security, what’s the point of this love?

In relationships, it’s often because of men’s hesitation that women’s hearts are discouraged. This uncertainty can have a direct impact on oneself, and one might end up making a mistake.

Only when men bravely take the initiative will women be willing to take a step forward.

Most women like men who take the initiative. This is due to the differences in men’s and women’s personalities and the influence of traditional thinking.

If you like someone and confess your feelings, but get rejected, it’s a huge blow to women.

So, even if women like someone, they’ll only cautiously try to test the waters and release subtle signals, but rarely dare to speak out directly.

If you catch her hesitant gaze, and you also like her, then take the initiative to make a move.

Don’t always worry about “who likes who first.” Men should be more proactive, and women will feel more confident.

Because your initiative is a confirmation of her emotions.

In “The Silent Anomaly,” Zhao Mosheng returned from the United States, thinking of He Yichen, but was afraid to find out about his situation.

Because she was unsure if he was still the same person after seven years, and she was no longer her old self.

The Zhao Mosheng who used to be diligent in love was gone, and seven years had changed too much. She only felt confident when she was immersed in her work.

Their parting was like a fleeing defeat, all because of He Yichen’s words: “I’d rather have never met you.”

But she still loved him, and her feelings never changed. However, when she saw He Yichen again, she was hesitant.

If He Yichen hadn’t taken the initiative to tie her to his side, who knows how long they would have waited?

Although He Yichen’s behavior was a gamble for him, if he didn’t understand the importance of taking initiative, he might have lost her again.

After experiencing seven years of separation, he already knew the taste of loss.

Love is the same for everyone; truly loving someone will never let you drift away from the world.

But because of youthful arrogance, people often think that their future is their own, and they don’t realize the pain of loss until they’re alone in the dark night.

A friend had a crush on a girl in college, and they were like siblings, always together.

Maybe they were too familiar with each other, and the girl never treated the friend as a man, but more like a close friend, sharing all her heart’s secrets with him.

For example, which celebrity she liked, what her ideal man was like, and so on.

At first, the friend could ignore her feminine charms, but one day, he saw her walking closely with another guy, and suddenly felt an unknown anger.

It was then that he realized he had already given her a very important place in his heart. But he didn’t dare to confess, fearing that his sudden confession would scare her off, and besides, he didn’t fit her ideal type.

He carefully concealed his feelings, but struggled inwardly.

In the end, they went their separate ways after graduation, and the friend never broke through the barrier. They kept in touch, joking around, until one day the girl said she was getting married, and the friend was shocked.

But it was too late, and everything was beyond redemption. On the eve of her wedding, the friend called her, drunk, and confessed his love for her over the years.

But what’s the use? The girl calmly listened to everything and said something that the friend still couldn’t forgive himself for: “I’ve been waiting for you to speak up, but it’s too late.”

Zhang Xiaoxian wrote: “When you love someone, you’ll always be a little afraid, afraid of getting them, afraid of losing them.”

As a result, the more you’re afraid, the more you’ll lose.

If only he had been braver, who knows, they might be a happy family of three by now. But the friend is still alone, and although he’s realized that no one is waiting for him, he’s still waiting for that person.

I remember seeing a question online: What’s the sentence that makes women’s hearts flutter the most?

The answers were varied, but one netizen’s response got a lot of likes.

He said: “Marry me.”

These simple three words have already surpassed countless “I love you”s. A man’s actions speak louder than his sweet words.

I saw a sentence that said, “Love someone, and you’ll brave mountains and rivers to see them, rather than just saying ‘I love you’ behind a screen.”

It’s true; if you love someone but never dare to take the initiative, what’s the difference between saying “I love you” and saying it behind a screen?

Love someone, and you should put in the effort for this love, even if the feedback is rejection. At least you won’t regret it in the future.

After all, the road ahead is still to be walked with the person you love, and that’s when you’ll feel more happiness.
