How I did it: I was nice to all the people who wanted to speak with me.I was myself with all. And even if i knew a few of them had crushes on me, and they knew I didnt feel the same, I wasn't opposed to the idea of being a good friend to them... when they needed it.

And before I knew it... a close friend of mine who had never written anything resembling poetry in his life had written a song for me.. I still cherish every word he read-out to me over phone. <I'm sure he was blushing>

and another friend wrote me a completely elaborate poem for my birthday...complete with all the sweet metaphors.. <he cherished my company and open mindedness-as I did his>

and a very close friend of mine who was the one who thought me to like one and all with out prejudices- and the one who knows all my weaknesses and good points wrote a funny poem for me..
which ring out with all the facts about me. and I'm sure no I else can reacognise me from that song :D.
She's a creative person.. it came naturally to her..

Another guy who was my friend and who had a crush on me for quite a long time.. wrote me a song and posted it on his blog and dedicated it to me <me blushing>
