I've never really minded that I'm single, available and not at all desperate to get attached.
But when a cousin – younger than you, starts asking you for advice on what to get his girlfriend of two or three months, choosing to approach you becuz you're the less intimidating one compared to the adults and also because out of the whole bunch of cousins, you're the oldest,
You start to wreck your brain cells thinking if you should help him or should you give that “You're still young, worry about your studies and don't spend so much on a girl whom I don't think will even last a year with you” speech.
No matter how evil I am, or how evil you think I am, I'm not that evil.
So poor me tried to think of simple gestures that supposedly will be nice on a girl his age, all the while trying not to get him to spend too much money.
However, that dear love struck cousin of mine decided that he only has 3 options:
A) Buy a bouquet of roses
B) Buy her a necklace/ear rings/ ring
C) Bring her for a movie and dinner
Die luh. No wonder he keeps telling me he got no money. Everything goes to the girlfriend luhh. Don't even see him bringing his dear Julie jie-jie out for dinner.
His response: “You're not my girlfriend mah.” =.=”
Then after that the conversation shifts back to me.
So is it really that hard to understand that an 18 year old girl, who's not close to Cinderella or snow white material, but not hideous like Ursula of the little mermaid, is really, really, really single, available but not desperate to get attached?
Still, having to explain to the old neighbours that I'm turning 18, not 80, so there's quite some time before I get married and start popping out mini “me”s, is quite embarrassing, really.
And. Just because I'm not dating, doesn't mean I'll end up old and lonely with 7 black cats and a bunch of cat food in the cabinets with the whole house smelling like cat food.
FYI. I don't think I like cats.
So, really. I'm not that desperate. Not even close to desperate. PLEASE do not start telling me that you have “friends” who don't look half bad, when the actual fact is, your “friends” are the really desperate kinds who are willing to be set up for this kind of horrendous matchmaking.
