The “M” Word

Listening to THIS

“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.”
-Kahlil Gibran

So I finally agreed to go out with them. I met her for dinner where we had a nice long chat. The plan was him meeting up with us for coffee. After dinner, we chatted while waiting for him to show-up. I wasn’t very impressed with him being late on our first meeting. Half an hour late, he showed up and to my surprise it was HIM! We went to school together. We’ve lost contact after graduation but still see each other on occasional basis. He decided it was time to get married and my friend suggested my name having no clue that we actually know each other. I tried to be nice and all during coffee but just didn’t know how to explain that I can’t do the “M” word. I woke up this morning to a text message from him. I haven’t replied back yet. Not sure if I should!

Just got off the phone with this other friend who wants me to meet another “eligible bachelor”. This time, I asked for a name to make sure I haven’t met him already. I am not sure that I want to keep doing this but she just kept insisting until I said yes. I will probably be meeting him sometime this weekend.

My friends can’t really get it that I remain single “by choice”. I am happy as is and don’t feel the need to be married anytime soon. Yet, they keep nagging about me meeting those “Eligible bachelors”.

    If you like being single then stay that way! Don’t let friends pressure to get hitched, so to say! Meet up with the guys if you like but if you do make sure your intentions are true so that nothing happenes to either party when it comes to emotions!

    Good. Any changes in your status could affect the plan I have set for you.

    stallion,
    I keep refusing to meet those guys because I don’t want them to feel rejected. I know I’d feel bad if a guy came to meet me and then decided I don’t meet his needs. But my friends keep saying that I might find Mr. Right and change my mind about being single!

    Purg,
    PLan? what Plan?
