A tale of Adam and Eve

.

Adam and Eve are friends.

One day…
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam: What is it? Tell me…

Eve shares her problem with Adam. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels better.

After two weeks:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam: What is it? Tell me…

Eve shares her problem again. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels good. She feels ‘close’ to Adam.

After a week:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam’s mind: Not again…
Adam: What is it? Tell me…

Eve shares her problem again. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels good. She feels ‘closer’ to Adam

After five days:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam’s mind: Come on! Give me a break! Your problems are really silly!
Adam: What is it? Tell me…

Eve shares her problem again. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels good. She feels Adam is the only person who understands her.

After three days:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam’s mind: This is eating my nerves. Why didn’t she get the hint I had given her last time! Hmmm… Let me listen to it anyways.
Adam: What is it? Tell me…

Eve shares her problem again. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels good. She is in love with Adam!

After one day:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam’s mind: Enough is enough! I’m going to be direct this time.
Adam: What is it? Tell me… But before that, don’t you think you should handle this problem more objectively?

Eve is impressed! Adam is wise too! Eve shares her problem. Adam consoles Eve. Eve feels great! She is madly in love with Adam!

After a few hours:
Eve: I have a problem :-(
Adam: You know what... I think your problems are really silly. You have to sort it out yourself.

Eve is heart broken :-(( She has now two 'big' problems…

Why didn't Adam tell Eve what he felt in the first place?

Adam gave cues, but Eve didn't see it. Eve gave the cue on her growing affection, but Adam didn't see it.
