The girl ‘ Miss No’ born stubborn ! Since childhood always acted prompt on intransigence. Decisive, contradicted , but not rude. Obstinate and not to be influenced. Apprehending her opposite reactions, Parents, free to contradict their own advice suggested just opposite instruction. She followed their real wishes, acted nice. So comfortable on confrontation , Each time showed aggression, as observed, never went on easy interaction . Getting maturity , she fell in love. About her love, fiance had no doubt, but he understood well her ideology. If he expressed his love, he would be out, so applied reverse psychology. Not right to go for direct proposal. Better to choose opposite direction. Otherwise he would get straight refusal. Girl went to meet him on invitation. Being bold the guy told’ I am leaving town. Further, our relation, not to carry . I’m sorry.' Instantly she gave stern look, making frown and said' I won't allow : This is the time ! We will marry. '
