I’m pondering popular media today. Some of the books and movies a lot of us are familiar with, because they are both books and movies.
As I understand it, a lot people find themselves drawn to a book because they can relate to one of the main characters, and can sympathise with the way they react to a situation.
So maybe the shy girl falls for the agressive guy.
Or maybe the independent girl realizes she needs the sensitive guy to balance her out.
But what if we combine the two? Say for instance, a shy, insecure girl who isn’t used to being noticed, who suddenly has the attention of a very attractive man. But he’s not agressive, or alpha in any way. Instead, he’s considerate, cares to hang back, and only steps forward to help when he knows someone is in trouble. He hopes his compassion will get him noticed instead of his agression.
