I swear Big Ben only rang in 2014 yesterday?? How is it already February already??
I know the Chinese new year only started yesterday which happens to be the year of the Hoarse, but jeez talk about the days galloping away or what?
So the long month of January has been and gone and well its been a drag indeed! I had been also chatting to a guy through the month, 33 from Richmond and seemed pretty normal over the phone..(the only one conversation I ever had)....the youngest not married with elder siblings married with kids etc.....however he lives near his dear Nani which is sweet and has am army of aunties nearby too. He texts me every morning ''morning beautiful'....'morning gorgeous'...and to be honest as sweet as it is, I am not used to it or sure of it.....for someone I have not met yet or been able to delve more into their personality....its a bit too soon. I just reply with the bog standard whats app yellow face. So a few days after speaking he decided and arranged that we meet up which I thought was sensible to do....(and F.Y.I yes I HAD seen his photo and he's a good looking guy). So comes the day to meet up and about two hours beforehand I get a message...''Sorry something has cropped up and I have to run some errands for my nani''......I was like...'Oh...ok?'...So I replied, cool no worries let me know when you are free etc....so a few more days go by and the usual 'hey how are you' texts are sent and as always.. a few times he said he was chilling with his nani and aunties....the third time he told me that I did raise one....(only one) eyebrow.. I then texted hime ''you certainly have a lot of ladies in your life already'' I was joking and I don't think he got it as he said 'Yeah I am blessed as they are all like mums'...Deep down I thought is this why hes single? he has an army of aunties, his mum and nani around him..also how would a girl get all of their seal of approvals??!?...after that there was about 6 days of nothingness. To which I then think ok.....let me text him to see how he is and to also see if I can get to meet him and see if its a 'yay or 'nay' (haha another horse pun!). I texted him to see if he was free at the weekend and he then replied ''sorry I am busy with family stuff''.....at that point I raised both eye brows. I then left him to it and this week he messaged me, apologised for the delay in not getting back to me and then asked me if I was free to meet up.....'Any day of this week' as he put it. So I Said cool, how about this Friday? To which he replied 'Friday I am all yours then'. So I thought cool.
Two hours again before meeting up I get a text saying...'You know there is a lot of traffic and its raining'...I was like waaaaaaaaaa?? Is this guy seeeerious??? At that point I just texted back Strike #2. He then said 'come on you know its not like that! And asked if I was free on Sunday for lunch' I replied quite dryly I suppose so..(however sundays where made for pjs!)....he then said 'its not my fault'. And that was it, I could not even bring myself to text back to that. Well that Sunday is tomorrow and I am not sure what will happen...(not heard from him since his last text also!)....And oh I DID venture out into the evening rain and had a wonderful dinner with my best friend in my fav restaurant.
Also I have to update you, I heard from Mr East End, he texted 'hello how are you, you married yet?' Its been TWO weeks since I heard from him and he goes and says that. In fact my failed quests do like to message me when they crawl out of their dark holes and say that...'married yet?' Makes my blood boil I tell you.....I can have no idea what's going on with that one anyway....I have left him to it!
Speaking of married...I attended one of my close friends sons Aqiqah, basicly a dinner/get together when someone has a new born child....So I attend and see my friends sister in law and as always having a chat and she is holding an adorable litlle 3 year old girl....and she clinches her teeth trying not to make it obvious and says its "H" child' and I was like hain? Who the fridge is "H"???' (see I have lost track of who I have met and now they are coming back to haunt me out of nowhere!). And then she looks over her shoulder and there he is, as good looking as always...except with three baby girls and his beautiful wife...(mashallah)..Many moons ago my friend tried to set me up with him and we met a few times and then he kinda said no to me.....(awkward) but hey ho....just happens like that....it seems the guys call the shots most of the time....(''You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'' - good horse quote that innit? I'm getting into the horsey spirit here!! lol)...But yes in life you will come across guys who you are genuinly are interested in..but for some reason or another they are just not interested......just how life is....'Natural selection' and all that malarky I guess?.....It was in a very small hall, and as I mingled he came to me and was ever so polite as always and asked how I was, while he held his beautiful 5 month old daughter. His wife smiled and was warm and friendly. There a little awkward moment....I had eaten and him and his wife sat down to eat, however no one to hold their little youngest.....an aunt turned to me and said 'Can you hold her while they eat?'...'She must of seen my facial expression and said 'are you ok taking her' - said in a way as if I had never a baby...(I have held loads of babies in my lifetime of course I can....just not a baby who belongs to a guy I kinda liked??!!?'......). I held the bundle of beautyness for a bit then passed her to my mum and went and saw some friends on the far side of the hall and stayed there. I am happy that mashallah he is happily married with a beautiful wife and three gorgeous daughters.....but at the same time.......reality hit.....how far he had advanced in life and well....I was still just me, and only me. Put a small lump in my throat.....and as always a few aunties and uncles asked 'when will it be my turn'....I just don't know except for when the All Mighty Above decides...
Just have to stand tall be it alone or not, and I think my word of advise to myself and if those want to take it....its take Jennifer Hudsons words...''Act like a Woman.....Think like a Man'' If they can be fickle and selective....so can we! ;)
