I always wonder why is it that people tell me “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”, YET AT THE SAME TIME say “Out of sight, out of mind”.
I also always wonder why and how people can enter into a relationship with the mentality that it will still ultimately fail.
Don't you enter into a relationship hoping to make it work, regardless of whatever ups and downs you two are going to face in the future? Doesn't "going through thick and thin" make the relationship even closer?
Granted, things might go haywire along the way and you two might want to just give up and call it quits to save each other further misery.
But, this is different if you enter into a relationship with the mentality that it will still fail - because with that mentality, you will just give up at the slightest hiccup, since subconsciously, you have already decided that the relationship won't work out anyway, so why not just enjoy it while it lasts.
Hmmm.. Not sure if I am making my point... Anyway, the topic of love and relationships has been popping up among the people around me recently…
Man
It’s heartwarming to see how a man gets all excited and tries to strategise his every move just so he can lay his paws on his prey. (I think I make them sound like a beast… hahah) The tug of war playing in his mind – whether to woo the woman aggressively, how not to scare her away, yet making sure somehow, she receives the (secret, telepathic) signals he has been sending her. How to get her to say yes to go out for lunch or dinner with him…
I can’t really remember how I actually got myself embroiled into this situation, in which I have to act as my friend’s “spy”. It’s weird since I remembered telling my friend that I’m not close to his target prey at all, and me being a love cynic, may just make a mess out of everything and crush his ego, hopes and what have you…
Like what one of my other friends say, it has been a long time since we see someone being so enthusiastic about the pursuit game. So we decided to give him our blessings and hope that his prey has received his secret telepathic signals and responds positively!
Woman
It’s funny to see how a woman per se prepares for her date with the man she likes. She has to prepare minimally one week before the date for manicure, pedicure, and a nice hair cut/hair perm/hair rebonding.
Not forgetting choosing the perfect outfit to wear that day, sashaying and dancing in front of the mirror to make sure that stupid protruding little tummy hides itself well underneath that outfit. “Do I look fat?”, “Does this look flattering?”, “What accessories would complement the outfit?” are just some of the questions running through her mind…
This was what one of my gal frens went through to prepare for her BIG date. I’m sure all of us have gone through that stage before, or even now. I am also so guilty of this. But what's wrong with wanting to look your best in front of your date and have his eyes on you throughout the date?
And so, I concluded this applies to all females regardless of age. Who says the jittery anticipation of your date collecting you only applies to the younger gals?
