I've always imagined myself meeting a guy at a coffee shop. Both he and I have had always been to the same place but never really noticed each other until one day, he approaches me and says hello. The thing that triggered his interest would be the book I was reading, nothing specific...just a book he had read years ago and I happened to stumble upon it then.
Romantic, no? Well, prolly not really romantic but not even a Malay guy can pull this off. Why? Because they've got egos the size of Mount Everest, and they've got guts (or nuts, you decide) the size of a peanut. And...most of them don't read books/novels. So, a bit far fetch I might say for the population of this side of the world. Nonetheless, a dream is only a dream...one cannot confuse with reality.
So when a guy approaches me on a certain blue-white, socializing network and starts to ask me out without even getting to know me first...I find it disappointing yet amusing. Hiding behind the virtual world? What folly is this?
This is definitely not the way to win a girl's heart.
I do give him credit for being brave enough to approach the virtual me, God knows guys only approach girls with vain, duck-faced profile pictures. But, would he have dared to approach the real me? Lol, most guys would not of course. I intimidate guys, I get that a lot. That's because most Malay guys are easy to scare. So if you're afraid of me or the things I can do, you certainly do not deserve me. Only the bravest shall succeed Ha Ha.
Anyway, so this guy befriended me and we started to chat. I don't know what gave him the impression that I was "oh-so interesting" he suddenly out of nowhere asked to have dinner with me. I was like, dude, we only chatted for a few minutes and you're already asking me out? Of course I turned him down, in a nice way...I hoped. The conversation got even more awkward towards the end. I just had to say good bye afterwards. Poor guy.
He's an architect by the way. I don't know why I seem to be attracting architects. Knowing this little information reminded me about a guy I used to date. He was great fun. Introduced me to alotta different places to eat. We shared mutual interests in sports, music and food. He was such a smart guy and I loved how well he could play the keyboard and he told me how he was attracted to my all-roundedness, sense of humour and...good intuition? Whatever that was. Another thing we shared? A bad temper. We fought as much as we had fun. So, in the end, we aren't even friends anymore. How sad, eyh? Owh well, some things are just not meant to be.
So, bottom-line is...guys think girls are complicated? Yes, we are :) And I applaud those who are able to figure us out coz even we don't know what it is we want most of the time.
.l e n a, over and out!.
