No, this isn’t about fishing. It’s about love and friendships and interests.
You make friends with one person and as a result of this one friendship you are connected to a lot of other people. It’s almost overwhelming. Just have a friend who’s incredibly nice for some reason and has a lot of traits that make him highly desirable. Did I just say desirable? Well, I guess I did. Anyway, you have this person to be with and suddenly you are connected to people you are not sure of. You’ve got so much going on and you wonder why am I doing this? Maybe, you like someone more than you thought you did. Maybe, you’re on the edge of falling in love but you have to be careful. Don’t want to rock the boat. Just being with him as a friend is enough at the time even though you think you’re going to burst into tears every time you see him with someone else. But, you have to be careful so you go on as is.
Sinker. You sink because you never admit your true feelings. It’s the end of the line and you’ve sunk and are drowning because you are all alone now with no connections.
Another hook, line and sinker example is going out with a guy and then realizing he’s in love with someone else. You feel sick and you go out with your boyfriend anyway and you end up in a triangle. You are at his friend’s house feeling crappy and all you want to do is go home. You wanted to be alone with your boyfriend not stuck in an undesirable house watching a movie while your bf plays cards and makes googly eyes at the other girl in the room who happens to be in a relationship. Not a good scene and you are happy when it’s over.
This hook line and sinker moment doesn’t end up being a big thing but it was the beginning of the end. But, life is that way sometimes.
Friendships with other people than just a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship can be a hook, line and sinker. You hook into a person for whatever reason. You line yourself into their world. Meeting people, trying new stuff and finding some exciting or boring thing to talk about. Eventually all of this might get old to you. . You sink out of this his friendship and go on.
All hook, line and sinker relationships/friendships are not bad. You my grow from them. You might see yourself differently or learn a lesson that guides you throughout the rest of your life. It’s all up to you.
