I am a happy single girl. Not one of those "why won't he love me", "when am I getting married", "why am I all alone", and the worse "I'll just get some cats".
So when it comes to boys and dating I like it
but I am not obsessed about being with someone. Saying that there are times
when I want someone to hold my hand at the movies or make out with at bars or
really just bring me coffee in bed and tell me I’m pretty. Usually my girls and
gays give sufficient attention enough but hardly any of them will make out with
me. So perhaps I need less selfish friends.
So along with one of my buddies we decided to
try out speed dating. Now I am good at talking shit for 5 minutes with anyone
but even I was nervous about this experience. But because I had nothing to lose
(except my dignity) I doubled-up the gin and got my speed dating on.
Bachelor 1 – Hot Asian Guy
Now as you know I have a dream of one day
having an Asian baby of my own. So you can imagine my joy when the first guy I sat
down with was Asian. Not to mention a Hot Asian. It was like ding, ding, ding,
jackpot! He was very sweet, a little nervous but he laughed at my jokes. Also we
have a love of food blogs. Can you imagine our beautiful little Asian babies
running around while we look at Desserts for Breakfast.
Bachelor 2 – The Good Guy
Next up was a guy whose family tree is filled
with designers, fashion, graphic and interior. And then him. He chose to be a
teacher. And not just any teacher, he helps the underprivileged. He visits Tsunami
kids in Thailand and teaches sports outreach to kids in townships. Swoon! These
may be all lines but trust me, they worked!
Bachelor 3 – The IT Guy
You know that IT guy in your company that is
nice and all but there’s not much there and you’re only really chatting to them
because they download Game of Thrones in
HD; that was this guy. He was nice but unless I need new episodes of The Good Wife I don’t see love in our
future.
Bachelor 4 – The Foreign Guy
Remember in the World Cup when there were all
these cute guys from different countries and it was up to us girls to make them
feel at home? Oh? Just me then? Whoops. Well at least I was a good ambassador.
This guy travels around a lot and does year stints in different countries. I am
sure we bonded but I think I was too distracted by his accent. If he were to
call me and say random words, it would be a very long term relationship.
Bachelor 5 – The Hard-to-Read Guy
Sometimes when I go out to very hipster places
I feel I have to act like them. Which means I have to be unimpressed and act
nonchalant about all the cool things we are doing. Sometimes I really don’t
care; sometimes I am pretending. That is how I felt about this guy. He was
either very depressed to be there or playing so cool, he was Vanilla Ice. Also
he doesn’t watch 30 Rock so that made
up my mind.
Bachelor 6 – The Bleh Guy
Urggh. No words. Actually a few words. Do not
give me lectures about 80s music. Do not get all offended when I don’t know the
year Love Will Tear Us Apart was
released. And do not look like a hot silver fox with a beard and delicious
biceps whilst being a douche.
Bachelor 7 – The Prospective Guy
We bonded over the British version of The Office, we laughed about the people
who go to Tiger (even though we both spent misguided years of our youth there),
about the amount of Hen Parties at Decodance and how no one wants to hear
play-by-play commentary on toddler’s bowel movements on Facebook. Me likey.
So for a first foray, I give speed-dating a
big thumbs up!
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!
