W: What do you think of that girl?
Me: Er... she's cute.
W: Well, she's single.
Me: Ok.
W: And you're single. She stays near your place.
*Alarms ringing* *Warning: RUN RUN RUN*
Me: No you're not doing this, woman!
W: Why not? Here's her number. Take it. Call her.
Me: ........
W is a colleague of mine, happily married with 2 kids, whom I've grown quite close to. I suppose many of you have gone through and experienced this kind of conversation one way or another. But aren't you just sick of it repeating again and again? I know I am.
Of course if my friend is setting up a blind for me with a guy, I'll probably go for it (Gosh aren't I desperate?!), but the date is a girl. I'm still not ready to come out yet, that's why my friends and colleagues still think that I'm straight. And setting up dates for me with the wrong gender! Grrr...... How do you politely decline such a thing? What is the socially acceptable way to refuse the date? And W has already tested the water by hinting to that girl about me. That poor girl probably expects me to call her soon. Drat.
On another note, my mom has been bugging me to go home for past few weeks. She's calling me every single day asking me when I'm coming home or have I bought the tickets. My answer was always 'soon'. Sigh.... guess I can't avoid it forever. Of course, whenever I go home, the question of my single-hood would come up. I just have to brace myself for the routine interrogations and prepare a well-versed answers.

| Came across this. Thought it was damn funny. A straight guy's dilemma. LOL... |
I still able to dodge the bullet since none of my older brothers is married yet and my younger sister as well..but once all 5 are married, then I need to start thinking of an excuse..haha
ReplyDeleteDamn at least you still have time. One of my sisters was married. Another one engaged. Another 2 already in years of relationship. So that left me! Luckily I'm a guy, so she doesn't expect me to settle down so fast.
Deletehahahaha..yeah, true enough..and my parent doesnt that demanding yet for grandkid..and since my 2nd brother seems likely to get marry 1st with his gf, that gonna give me lot of times more...hahahaha
Deletemaybe u should give excuse that u wanna take care of ur parent when they are old..if get marry, later be busy with family and kids..hahaha...I am planning to use that excuse if the issue ever brought up in future.hehe
Oh oh that's a great excuse!!! Makes me sound like such a good son some more! Gonna use that. Thanks thanks. HahahahHa.....
DeleteLollllll... Must be good stuff... else got people match make for you... Haha
ReplyDeletedid you know the other girl?

hehe... no lah people pity I'm still single, so trying to hook me up lor... No I don't know the girl personally.
DeleteThanks for putting that image in my head. I'm imagining guys hanging on trees, waiting for us to pluck. Hahahaha....
Yeah it's that time of the year again. Dreading that visit. But can't avoid. So have to suck it up and go.
haha, have you watched "You should met my son?"... :P
ReplyDeleteYour situation reminded me of that movie.. lol
Anyways, the picture..
Depends, you top or bottom? :PPP
I found the trailer in youtube. Looks damn funny. Sigh... if only my mom knows and can be so cool about it..
Delete'If you think that this world would not give you the things that you want, Love, kids, a family, then I'm gonna have to change the world because I would not have it changed you.' Awwww.....
Ahhhh..... I see, if the gay dude is a bottom, then problem solved! LOL...

Deletebanyak gay jason kan?
Deletelollll
=P
Haha... U cannot dodge the question forever unless u come out la. a quick way is to say - when the right one comes along :-) always work for me!
ReplyDeleteI think I used that before. She will then asks, 'don't you have a lot of female colleagues? None of them right for you?'
DeleteI'll just have to dodge it for as long as I can, then I'll have to think of something. Maybe I'll say I'm just emotionally barren, so I can't commit to a relationship. It's a congenital thing. lol...
Haha... My standard reply was - I marry or u marry... I not kancheong why you kancheong! My life or your life?....
ReplyDeleteAfter a while, they learn not to ask...
:-)
I will always smile and answer.."When ever i am free first okay?" Then i walk away. Must walk away. Yeah...basically that's all that had helped me to dodge that.
