i'm going out on my first blind date! actually, i think the appropriate term for it would be...let's-set-up-somebody-else-so-that-it-doesn't-appear-that-we-are-the-ones-dating. hahaha. (you know who you are so don't react!)
the thing is, i have been out of the circuit for such a long time (not that i have been in the circuit for even a short while) that everything seems unfamiliar. i didn't know things can be so complicated. i have a myriad of questions swimming inside my head. i feel so young! (meaning naive and inexperienced) hahaha.
the thing is, do the rules of centuries old gallantry apply? i can't seem to remember the last date that i had where the guy actually paid for my meal or drove me home or even transferred to the more dangerous side of the road while crossing the street! not that i'm not capable of taking care of myself.
as i have observed these days, i can't even qualify guys as suitors. all they do is appear cute and cuddly! or in my heaven, chivalrous sentimental hunks with high IQ! (it is my heaven, not yours!) but never actually seriously take the time to get to know you or spend time with you.
For some time, somebody will catch your fancy. he will ardently send you sweet messages. or call you almost every night especially when you need someone to talk to. he will even accompany you to places or social events! he will even try at least to remember all your siblings names. but after a month or so, he becomes the invisible man. you will suddenly feel a little bit woozy thinking that all this time he has been a figment of your boy-crazy imagination. you must have been a fool sleep-walking during the day! how stupid can you get falling for an imaginary suitor-friend!
good thing i am not pressured to set off sparks with my "date" since my story is just a little part of another person's more exciting life. i can't wait for the big day! even if it is not really for me...
i will cross my fingers that they offer to pay for dinner. i am so low on cash right now. hahaha. signs of the times!
they should pay for dinner! hahaha! a little galantry should still apply noh - if tlg interesado ang other party - this is what i think...
ReplyDeleteMe too can't wait... haha!
P.S. Sure ka ba wala cyang friend na may link dito sa blog mo or something?
hmmm... just like Tom Hanks' character in Sleepless in Seattle.. i think hindi na uso ang guys paying for dinner thing.. it depends on the guy, i guess, if he's that galant or mas modern and play-it-safe..
ReplyDeleteMV, true! true! plus they are the ones who asked for this "date" thing. haha! i don't know. im sure we (meaning him and me) are not closely connected in anyway.
ReplyDeleteWS, where can we BUY the types of guys that we want? maybe this would be a profitable business. i should start categorizing the guys i know. or maybe i could play matchmaker! hahaha.
i think you expect to much from guys sometimes... but about the guy paying for your dinner, i believe he should be :) knowing your present financial condition. as to where you can find a guy you want, it's up to you really... maybe he's just around. if you failed to see him, maybe you're not yet ready to see... if you know what i mean. "love like you've never been hurt." take a risk with someone sometime...
ReplyDeleteanonymous, yes. sometimes we do expect much. but most of the time, i think i expect what i know is within their limits. the thing abt finding the guy i want, it is easy. but finding a guy that wants you back is quite harder.
ReplyDeletehuwaw.. kaka-excite naman, ate Cla! hehe =D goodluck!!!
