Friend�s sms: �Btw a little bird told me dat u are seeing an ang moh guy.�
My reply: �I think u msg the wrong person. I where got ang moh guy???�
Friend�s sms: �Someone saw! My source is accurate ok.�
My reply: �What ang moh? I haven�t even been out with any ang moh.�
Friend�s sms: �Who is the ang moh? Only you will know lah.�
My reply: �I wished I could say it�s true, but it isn�t.�
My friend�s sms perplexed me. I mean, really, like I replied, I wished I could say it was true, but it so isn�t! I haven�t even been out much recently! I swear it�s a case of mistaken identity and whoever this little bird is, he/she had better get his/her eyes checked!
While on the subject of dates, I was again reading Her World at the hairdresser�s last week. And one mindless article was about how women should multi-date. Like date several men at one time with the understanding that you�re not seeing any one of them exclusively. So they interviewed several women about their multi-dating ways and their views on it blah blah blah. Oh, one of the most bimbotic suggestions the article had was that one should keep a record of the clothes one wears when seeing which ever guy so that the next time you meet him, you won�t be seen wearing the same clothes. The reasoning is that it�s easy to get confused over outfits what with the numerous men. And oh, another helpful suggestion is to keep a record of each man�s likes and dislikes in case you can�t remember. Geez.
OK, don�t get me wrong. I don�t have a problem with multi-dating. Why not? As long as both parties have the understanding that you haven�t entered an exclusive relationship, I think it�s perfectly fine. But of course, I wouldn�t condone any more of this dating around once both parties have agreed on going into an exclusive relationship. My problem with this multi-dating is that where does one find so many men to date?????
The answer to that question has been eluding me thus far. But a columnist in Sunday�s issue of The New Paper (SPH gave ST subscribers free copies of the paper over the weekend in a bid to get us to subscribe to TNP. Hell no. But I won�t complain either if they want to keep on giving to me free. Haha!) seemed to have found at least one answer to the conundrum. She said that several of her girlfriends have taken to recycling ex-boyfriends. That is, women are setting up their girlfriends with their ex-boyfriends because of our constant lament of the dearth of good men. The column, by the way, is titled Sexless In the City.
On a related note, I was having dinner with a secondary school friend on Saturday night. And my friend said that she had a quarrel with a boyfriend �cos she had been evaluating their six-year relationship and she had remarked to him that she wasn�t sure if she really loved him �cos nothing major/drastic has really happened to test their love. Has he just become a comfortable presence and life would just be easier with him around than not? She said she wasn�t sure, but one thing for sure is that she definitely wants a companion and that she doesn�t want to end up being a single cranky 40-year-old woman. She says that such women are a bit wonky in the mind.
In any case, I think I�m getting a bit worried for myself too. I�ve gotta admit, I�m afraid of loneliness in old age. Oh well. Maybe I should think about renewing my membership with SDU (they sent me a notification that my free two-year membership has expired!). Hahaha!
