I watched Valentine's Day yesterday with FT Lily & Fifi. Truly, it's a chick flick, and I don't hold it against all the masses of XYs who (forming testosterone) put their feet down and opted for a boycott. The bottom line is sha that the movie is really good. We passed through Mango on our way out for a brief window shopping spell, and it was there I caught my reflection in the full wall-length mirror. If there is any additional reason why anyone would think me 15, then it would be the way I dress. I really, really do not help my cause on that front, but I must also add that shopping in this part of the world is more upsetting than helpful. Be that as it may, sloppy dressing has got to be minimalized. This conclusion was further butressed by the young man who saw it fit to block Fifi's car from exiting the parking lot, just so he could have a go at getting her number. Evidently, I had been scanned over and did not register. Don't get me wrong, I care less about whether or not I got his attention, and more about if I was perceived to be a baby sister being taken out for a treat.
Well, I'm just glad I'm not affecting Fifi's market. Cos I and FT were at JAM last friday, and while we were looking for recharge cards, some child came up and was attempting to do only Lord-knows-what with her. Hmmm. Must not rub off.
;D
What I should direct my energies towards is:
1) Dress more maturely.
2) Not waste my time on time-wasters who reckon they're interested in me, but do not move beyond that for reasons best known to them.
Q1: If hooking up with a best friend (or good friend) is a wise way to go, how do you differentiate between these and the guys who make good friends but are not to be partnered with? (The whole, he's a great friend, but no-so-hot bf material).
Q2: If retrospection affords a better view on things, then why am I second-guessing options I passed over, when I know it was for good reasons (which are unapparent right now)?
Q3: Why are guys so friggin lazy these days???
Call me old fashioned, but I have the mentality that when a guy is interested in a girl, he makes his intent known, and pursues accordingly. Abeg, all these "fine boys" who are used to girls chasing after them should leave me be. I don't know how to get with that program, and quite frankly, I can't be bothered. It does make me wonder though if my ex really was one in a million. As I recall, he did mention at some point that I would think back on him when I saw what guys are like. While I don't regret the split, I am absolutely aghast at the state of the market.
