| i chased him until he caught me Inseguivo chi mi rincorreva Explanation: Non è assolutamente una traduzione letterale, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la seconda parte, ma mi è venuta in mente pensando ai concetti che hai indicato, cioè dualità-polarità, e quindi complementarietà, armonizzazione degli opposti… |

| Reference: stando a questo racconto, no Reference information: It is sad that the protocol of the times was that girl's could not call boys. And boy's don't know how to think at that age so the communication gap is really bad. If a girl likes a guy she should never give up on him and keep in touch with him. The girl I married did that and it worked for her. My wife says, "I chased him until he caught me.". And it is true the girl that gets the guy is the one who pursues him. Guys don't know what they want at that age. http://www.marriageromance.org/writings/view/197193 |
