HER: It's his birthday! Should I greet him or not? NO! He'll find out I have a crush on him. Better not greet him. But everybody greets everybody on facebook. He might not notice my greetings in the first place. Fine, I'll leave a Birthday greeting post on his timeline.

Happy Birthday. No, that sounds ordinary. I have to make him notice my post. Happy Birthday! Hope you'll have a wonderful year ahead. May God bless you more this year! Aww that makes me seem like a close friend making a birthday wish for him. HBD! That sounds simple. He won't realize I like him. It sounds like I just saw a reminder of his birthday on my wall and dropped by his timeline to atleast greet him. But no, it sounds snobbish. Hmm, Should I include his name on my greeting? Happy Birthday Emman! No no, he doesn't even know me. He'll be surprise when a stranger greets him by name. Right? 

HIM: It's my birthday! I'll go check my account to see who greets me as early as 12 midnight! Wow, 53 notifs. I just logged out one hour ago. Lemme see. Hmm, Am I suppose to acknowledge their posts one by one? Well, they took time to greet me, might as well take time to thank them...

Great. I'm done. And... wow, there's a new batch of posts I have to see. But not a single post was from her. I wonder if she'll ever greet me. Maybe she won't even care greeting me. She doesn't even know me. She'll probably see my name at the corner of her wall saying it's my birthday today. But who cares? It's just another stranger's name for her.
