I have always ask myself this question if love is truly blind because a lot however is surrounded by that quote. When we say "love is blind" means we can't see the hidden part of where feelings are shown especially when having interest and feelings for someone. It depends on how we define or see the love we are talking about because our definition of love itself differs.
We humans showcase different characters that we can't explain, which is why the saying that love is blind but we can see becomes a debating topic. We have people who have feelings for some people but don't show it and in that aspect, we can't predict anything about such persons. However, from my own point of view, it wouldn't be concluded that love was shown because it was hidden.
Although, if there are signs like body language or eye contacts for example that someone is displaying more often without the other person noticing it then a blind love is just playing around the corner that needs to be shown.
My own experience was quite different with a friend of mine. I remember back then when I was in the higher institution, I have a female neighbor who don't relate that much with people in the compound apart from just greetings. This however triggered one of my friend to get close to her more but the more he tries to shoot his shot the more she declines his interest.
This attitude of hers made my friend conclude that she has pride, so he decided not to approach her again. I was opportuned to meet her buying something in the market one faithful day and when I greeted her she answered like as if we were that close before. I wouldn't say I was surprise with her action because I feel it is normal when you meet someone you know in such place.
I even assisted her in carrying her stuffs she bought since we were going to the same house. When we got home, she thanked me for the little assistance and I told her not to worry about that. Later in the evening, she came to my side to call me that she prepared something and mine have been served as well. Although, I was having a double mind to accept but since it is the first time I decided not to turn her down.
From my own side, I wasn't having any feelings for her because I felt what I did was just a normal thing anybody else can do which is why I wasn't moved when she came to call me. We both have meal together at her place where we also exchange contact but still everything that occured didn't trigger to me that there was love in the air because it was just a normal moment.
I received a call from her one evening that she wasn't feeling fine that i should come around. When I got there, she was running temperature that i became confused. I had to take her to a nearest pharmacy where they checked her and realize she had malaria. I bought drugs for her and then took her back home.
That same evening, I had to prepare something for her to eat in other for her to take her drugs. I also had to spend the night at her place just to ensure she was fine. After a week she was fine and she thanked me for been there for her.
I never knew she was falling for this kind gesture i was rendering because from my own part, I was only assisting to help a friend. There was no string attached to my assistance towards her but she fell in love with it. She came to my place to thank me once again but this time it came with a question where she asked me if I had feelings for her?
I really don't know what to answer her at that point because i like her but don't have the feelings. She actually spoke her mind that she liked me but that moment I was surprise that the love shown was blind but with everything that occured I think I could believe it.
