it's been more than a year now and people just keep asking me, "okay debs, so who is the new guy?" or "interested in anyone yet?"
well technically, i'm well and over L and there have been guys that have flirted, came and gone, but there has been no guy out there whom i've really and seriously fancied yet. is it wrong to not have feelings for someone at any time of your life? i think i've reached a stage whereby i'm over the short and immature flings that teens have nowadays that last a couple of months. i'm over the stage that teens date/stead (in singapore seems to be the same) because they're lonely and need accompaniment. i'm over the whole 'fling' thing, liking a person because they're funny or good looking. i mean, the looks is a factor but i guess what i look out for more now is the maturity and godliness of the person? someone i know who will take charge of a family and make wise decisions. i know it sounds absurd for a 17 year old to be talking about raising a family but isn't that what a relationship should be aimed towards? shouldn't every relationship be propelled towards a marriage to see if the two are compatible to spend their rest of their lives together and not just for instant gratification of attention?
i guess i couldn't see these when i was younger and stupidly fell in love without a proper reason or purpose. i guess i see it now, and i guess it's one pact i'll make to myself TO KEEP: to not date a guy i don't see myself spending the rest of my life with.
and probably there is only one guy currently that has met that standard but sigh.. gah, maybe i'll just stay single until He brings someone else :)
