Rose-Colored Glasses
When you’re in high school, you often look at the world with rose-tinted glasses. For example, when your crush walks down the hall, suddenly, the hallway seems brighter. However, Kyle’s high school girlfriend was not very affectionate toward others, and she was uncomfortable showing her emotions.
She thought he was kidding when he tried to kiss her and laughed it off. She disregarded his invitation and guffawed at him instead, even though it was a nice gesture. Kyle’s ex-girlfriend had just given him an important lesson on love and relationships after he experienced this sort of rejection as a youngster.
