Rant on Boys

      Boys always seem to think that they will win the heart of the desired twin if they can get all the information about said desired twin out of the other twin. This always seems to happen whenever one of us starts talking to a new boy. Not that this happens that often, and perhaps it is only a certain type of boy that does this. I didn't realize how annoying it was until I was on the receiving end of it.
      Boys don't seem to realize that this puts the twin in an awkward place. You want to help your twin out, but its not really your place to tell this other person all of the personal inter workings of your twins thoughts. This can get especially messy when the boy is bound and determined that he is going to get what he wants, on his terms.
     Like a situation that just happened to me, there is a boy that really likes my sister. I know who he is. Hes a nice guy, but he is quite overbearing. And he is just trying to figure out my sister. Which isn't going to be easy and he may never figure it out. But by asking me questions and wanted me to tell him what she has been saying, not cool.
     He didn't figure it out BTW. She told him she didn't like him that way. And now he feels the need to vent to me - assuming that 1) I won't say anything to Melissa and 2) that shes not sitting with me reading his conversation. I don't know why boys don't think that is going to happen...
     It takes a special person to deal with twins. I think that this is true in any area - friendship, romantic relationships, and so on. Twins can be difficult to deal with and it can be hard to feel involved. Boys have a tendency to say "Oh yeah I get it, you and your sister are really close...blah, blah, blah." They don't really get it. And instead of just saying, "This is something that I don't understand." they feel the need to pretend to understand, while not really getting anything at all.
     This is annoying and frustrating for all parties involved. So moral of the story - don't pester someone about their sister and her feelings. It's something you have to figure out for yourself.
