The Irony
Dear Everybody
I’m sure many of you kaypohs are dying from curiousity about my love life, now that I’m single again. So, this post is to keep all of my fans happy! Topic du jour: The Exciting ‘Love Life’ of Therese Yeow.
So, first of all, for the uninformed, I think you should know that I’ve parted ways with my ex-boyfriend, about three or four months ago. I wonder how people maintain good relationships with their old flames, because I tried keeping in touch, doing the we-can-still-be-friends thing, but it didn’t work. After a few attempts at ‘communicating’, I got confused as to whether we were just friends or back in the game. Certainly, I’m sure it’s not common practice to argue with your friends four out of the five times you talk. To put it simply, we ended up being total bitches to each other.
The relationship was already dead for as long as three months, and we were STILL arguing.
Moving on…
And I’m back in the dating game. Yes, my friends, I’m seeing someone!
You know most people have a very different idea about dating. Especially in Malaysia, I notice most local guys don’t date per se, if you get what I mean? They don’t do the whole ask-you-out-on-a-date-coffee-dinner-or-movie thing. Oh, but I understand, you local guys are just really lazy shy.
Anyway, I’m seeing someone now, unlike the masses, seemingly he’s doing it the traditional gwailow way, dating, and then seeing how it goes. Meaning, we’re just dating and not in a relationship yet. But this new guy, is apparently doing it the local way under the guise of gwailow style dating. He asks me out on a first date (which was incredibly nice, I might add), and then proceeds to talk to me everyday on MSN after that (which was incredibly pleasant, too) and then proceeds to talk to me as if we’re already in a relationship (which was incredibly stressful). Yes, we are communicating just like the way you do with your steady boyfriend/girlfriend, which includes arguments (and lots of honesty).
Yes I said that were ‘just dating’. But we’re already arguing and doing reality. Confused? Let me get down to the technicalities (tentatively):
Hours
One date 2½
About 50 sms-es 4
MSN (in two days) 5
____
Total duration of communication 11½
Yes, less than 12 hours of communication, and we’re already having miscommunication. Good God. I’m actually having problems with my non-existent relationship.
Just a few weeks back I was having problems with my relationship that was over, and now I’m having problems with a relationship that hasn’t even begun yet!
I’m fighting the unborn while still haggling with the dead.
