Will you marry me?

I walked to my mum's room for some idle chit chat and found myself in a 90minute conversation about relationships. Mainly we talked about her ongoing relationship with the man he's seeing, and about the girls I'm seeing (which tally to as many monks in a brothel I reckon).

We also discussed her re-marriage plans or if she is gonna just stay with this man without getting the legal backing. And then she told me some stuff which would make a girl a good wife for me.

?!?!
I don't even have a girlfriend, ma.

But some points are true. Indeed it is so difficult to find someone that is compatible. I might as well become the monk that visits brothel. She said as a guy I should be more aggressive and take the initiative. I said I can't do anything if people don't even wanna talk to me, and I told her how girls nowadays (or is it all the days) will think that you like them when you treat them nice.

Anyway I realise despite all the HI I'M DOCTOR LURRRVEEE advice I've given people (and they rate it good advice), I'm actually of no stature to speak myself. I don't think I can even tell if a girl likes me. Let's just wait till the bloody boat reaches the shore.

Mum also told me not to be such a simple person. I mean whaa? That's like telling me to be a completely different person. Like, Mother Theresa becoming Britney Spears, or Bill Gates becoming Tony Hawk! Right? Right? Or..or.. David Beckham becoming Tinky-Winky. No wait, they are the same person. Ah who cares. The point is, I'm just me. And I like things simple, despite the millions of whatever-trons zipping through my complicated brain. For example, I don't like to live in the north and drive all the way to the south just because 'the chicken steak tastes nice.' Whatever dude. I don't even eat steak. Or to Changi because the nasi lemak is famous. You get the point. Don't say this is unromantic. How can going far places to eat be called romantic. Don't say I don't know how to enjoy life. I think a good life can be experienced through many ways besides food. There are a lot of things people don't know about me. Can't they give me a chance to let me express myself. I only wanna be your friend. I don't care whether you're a boy or girl, dog or cat. I'm not chasing you! For teletubbies' sake! I just need someone to listen, and give good replies when necessary. And after that you talk and I'll do my part. There you see, that's how something called a conversation gets started. And that's the basics of a friendship. Something called communication. It's ok we all learn something new everyday.

Mum's right. The past two failed relationships have made me learnt a lot. She also said I should have more confidence in myself because girls like that in guys. And that I should set myself an ambition. Because girls like that too. And that I should buck up in my studies and good grades. Because, yup, girls like that too.

Argh there are so many things I should do? Can't I just clean the car and mop the floor or something?

And she mentioned some girls I should go chase. But I know she's just kidding. Gosh I have never seen her so actively telling me that the time's right to get a girlfriend. How 3-4 years later if everything's fine we could even get married.

Alright then I've applied for this online dating service, hope it works out!
