Nik falls in Love

I swear Nik falls in love with every girl he meets. All it takes is for him to start liking someone is just a little attention. The second he gets a girl's number, he starts calling her and texting her non-stop. I remember when we were on spring break in Cancun. He met a girl that he would not stop talking about. He just kept telling us all day how hot she was, and how she had big beautiful lips, and that he was so excited to hang out with her. It was so annoying. Why does Nik get all the girls? This is the second girl he has kissed this week. I can’t even remember the last time I kissed a girl, it was so long ago. I don’t understand. I think I’m a pretty good looking guy. Well, at least I’m not ugly. I just get so nervous around girls that I just can’t be myself and usually end up saying something stupid. I just need to learn how to talk to girls better. I think if I can be myself then I will have a chance. Still, I wish Nik would give it a rest about how awesome this girl is.
