You have no money and no influence. From a young age, your parents told you: "Our family is poor, we can't afford to offend anyone." When others go to school, you can't compete with thugs for the girl you like. So what if you stay silent and enter society? The woman you like would rather be with someone else, even if it means being with a third or fourth wife, than give you a second look. You have needs too. Can't afford to marry, but chatting with someone shouldn't be a problem, right? So you muster up the courage to confess and start a conversation.
