Dating.I once went out with a guy who had a habit of laughing incessantly. He laughed, at absolutely anything and everything i said. Now i do think that i'm a pretty humourous person at times, but he was laughing so much, i was beginning to feel like a clown. Needless to say, it was the only time we went out. He called me up the next day to ask for a 2nd date. There was a moment of silence during which I contemplated giving him a second chance, but then he burst out laughing again, and that was the end.
That incident kept me off dating for a while. Then this guy came along. Lets call him Mr Curious. Mr Curious and i had been chatting on and off in msn, and he suggested meeting up for dinner in town. I agreed, but told him that i had to leave early (my friends wanted me to join them for drinks.) Now Mr Curious didn't really believe me, he kept asking if i had another date lined up after him. He confirmed, re-confirmed, and re-re-confirmed the date three times the afternoon before the date. I was starting to wonder if i come across as a person who likes to fly people aeroplane.
During dinner, Mr Curious asked me personal questions, things that i normally wouldn't reveal on the first date. I was trying hard not to blush, and kept stuffing sashimi into my mouth to buy time, just so i could think carefully about my answers. In a way, i was attracted to his forthrightness, but then again, i stand firm in the belief that one should never reveal too much of oneself in the first date. Plus, I had a fleeting vision of him laughing at my answers; i wasn't sure i could take one more of Mr Laugh-non-stop. But in the end, i went against my instincts, looked him in the eye and told him i'm very inexperienced when it comes to sex. He didn't laugh (Thank God), though he did give me a doubtful look.
The whole experience was kind of weird. It started out as slightly uncomfortable, got pretty crazy, then ended on a strange note. We parted, and as i walked down the street, i wasn't sure that we were gonna see each other again, or if i wanted to.
Weeks passed. We kept in touch, though it was quite impossible for us to meet up;
He then asked if i would like to be in an exclusive dating relationship. I avoided the topic; not because i was not ready but maybe, i was not ready for him. He sort of read my mind, he took a bite of his seafood pasta, and casually asked if i'm ready to handle a guy like him. I smiled.
The thing with attraction is, sometimes it takes on a life of its own.
The only problem is, i attract and am attracted to all the wrong guys.
P.S: Mr Curious, if u're reading this, you shouldn't be. It's a spoof site, rem? ;)
Something to say? =)
