"Woe is me! Everyone else has a boyfriend/girlfriend, but not me!!"
I think most of us know someone like that; someone who is just so desperate because they do not have a significant other. Well... I am not one of them.
It was a pretty quiet day at work today since we have the same Labour Day weekend as my American friends. Most people will end up taking the Friday prior off as well. So when I went down to eat lunch, there was just one other lady there who I normally eat with. Typically another two fill out our party of four.
I'm not really sure how this topic came up, but probably because we were talking about condos and buying them. Basically, my coworker was saying that her daughter finished university and started saving up for a place. Yet now that she has paid deposit on a place, her focus has become traveling.
In my coworker's mind, she kept thinking that it was time for her daughter to look for a boyfriend, but her daughter's response is the generic "Okay, I will." Then she was asking about me, because I'm much older than her daughter. I was saying how my mom will occasionally ask (aka nag) about it, but really, I normally have the same response that her daughter does.
At the end of this conversation, she was saying, "I'm serious. You should really start thinking about it." Not to mention she was potentially, kind of, trying to "set me up" with someone from work. Or at least, ex-work. Apparently another contractor who was working with her talked to her about it and how he was "looking for a girlfriend". He has since moved on to another company, but she kept saying, "I have his number..."
Uh, like no. Not interested. I'm sure the guy is fine and all, but no.
Seriously though. What is the big issue? I'm not saying that because I hate guys or anything like that, but if it's someone I'm potentially going to spend the rest of my life with... I'm not just going to pick "anyone". (THAT drives me nuts, because that is my mom's line - "Oh, just pick any guy off the street." Excuse me? Can I slap you now? Annoying.)
But yeeeah...! I don't know about other people, but I am one of those people who is genuinely content with or without one. The absence or presence of a boyfriend in my life definitely doesn't define my outlook on life. If it happens in the future, fine. But in the meantime, there are plenty of other things to think about! (Like where to go for vacation XD)
It has been about a year and a half now since I liked someone? The one guy I was interested in ended up moving to a different city... So much for that! LOL~ (Man, those memories just remind me of Love-o-Meter...)
All I can say to that is, "WHATEVER."
At the same time, it's kind of ironic? I think my romantic side comes out a lot in my writing, but I'm ultimately a pragmatic person. The two almost seem contradictory, yet somehow I'm a practical romantic, with the former trait typically winning out over the latter one.
