another week, another wedding...
i've been to 3 weddings within the last month or so. some random ah-juh-shi [korean for "older man"] came up to me today after the wedding and said that i should be next. i told him i'm too young to get married, even though part of me really does want to be "next". i shouldn't have said i was too young... i should've said what was really on my mind... "to what girl?" but i guess i just didn't want to get into that discussion with some strange dude.
one of my church friends revealed to me that he's been seeing someone at our church. i thought he was joking at first (and at second and third) because he probably thought i "caught" them in the stairwell. as he was trying to convince me that he was telling the truth, he also brought up a suggestion that i should be playing the field as well... that maybe i'd "catch one". again, i somehow managed to just shrug my shoulders and avoid that conversation. had i got into it, it'd probably sound something like this:
me: there's no one i'm interested in.
him: what do you mean? there are plenty of girls... just look around.
me: i have looked. i'm not attracted to any of them.
him: why aren't you attracted to any of them?
me: i don't know. maybe i'm too picky.
him: well, what are you looking for?
me: [long partially memorized list including, but not limited to:] smart... funny-- no witty... semi-athletic... somewhat quirky... passionate... creative... good voice (speaking and/or singing)... good laugh/smile... good sense of style... cute... etc.... etc... etc...
him: hmmm... [uncomfortable silence] do you wanna play foozball?
yes, part of me thinks i'm being too picky. BUT you gotta have standards... i know people (esp. girls) who end up falling for people that are all wrong for them. i know love is blind, but come on... shoot, it makes me want to throw frickin' bones at them. besides, that's just my personality... i'm anal like that. so what? i have a well thought-out list. these are things that are important to me... these are things that i'm attracted to... these are things that'll captivate my attention and sustain me in a relationship. i'm just being honest, people.
i'm open for advice... shoot away.
