I mean how desperate can a person get to have a female friend? Apparently a lot from what I have heard&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days ago I was talking to Tarini and she was telling me that she is sick of &#8216;weird&#8217; people scraping her\/mailing her asking to be friends with them. Then she told me that due to a mistake another friends of ours posted a list of phone numbers on Orkut with her phone number in it and she got flooded with calls from weirdos (her words) wanting to be friends&#8230; It got so bad that she stopped answering her phone if she didn&#8217;t recognize the number.. So I agree that there are a lot of desperate people on Orkut..<\/p>\n<p>But the Desperate person of the year award goes to <strong>Prafull from Dehradun<\/strong>. He left a message on Surabhi&#8217;s Scrapbook asking to be friends and this is what their conversation went like: (My comments are in ()&#8217;s)<\/p>\n<p><strong>prafull: <\/strong>u dont know me but i want to introduce me and also want to know you&#8230;.i wanna be ur friend<br \/>\n<em>(Ok, Decent enough approach. Should have told more about himself, why he wanted to be friends etc)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Surabhi: <\/strong>why?<br \/>\n<em>(Good Question)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>bcoz i know u can make my good friend<br \/>\n<em>(Stupid answer)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Surabhi: <\/strong>How do you know that?<br \/>\n<em>(Exactly what I was going to ask, and the question he should have answered earlier)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>bcoz my heart says that u r true&#8230;..why u don&#8217;t want to be friend like me dr whats the problem am i not good&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<br \/>\n<em>(This is where I started laughing&#8230; Can&#8217;t this guy take a hint?)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Surabhi: <\/strong>Why does your heart say that I am true?<br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>dr plz dont be quessioning be my friend.. if u think u r really true.<br \/>\n<strong>Surabhi: <\/strong>I dont know what true means- You said I am true. Why does your heart say I am true?<br \/>\n<em>(I guess Surabhi was having Fun&#8230; I would have ignored him a long time ago&#8230;)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>hey what happend<br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>true means u can make a good friend means never be false.. it means u can say trust worthy bcoz dr friendship depends on only trust and understandability. and i think u have both quality even i know you ..<br \/>\n<em>(Now the desperation shows)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>prafull: <\/strong>now plz tell me we r friends naaaaaa<br \/>\n<em>(Ok&#8230; Here&#8217;s a suggestion for you.. When a girl says no she doesn&#8217;t want to be friends she usually means it. Posting messages like the one above after being told no, will only make you look like a fool and then people like me will make fun of you)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am sure there are others worse than this but this is the most recent example I could find&#8230; If you have other stories do tell&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well this is just one of those things that I find funny.
