A Man-To-Man Agreement
Just when I thought I already escaped Andrea’s crazy plans, I found myself sitting in a coffee shop, sipping choco latte, and waiting for my blind date to arrive. I know I’ve mentioned in a previous post that blind date is not my cup of tea, but sad to say, I am now eating my own words. Hah! The reason for my sudden change of mind is simple: we had an agreement that this would be the first and the last. She said if it doesn’t work for me, she won’t bother me again. Ever.
It's a deal!
Perhaps, you’ll find it weird that I am giving in to something that I really don’t want to do, but I’m finding it hard to turn down Andrea. We’ve been good pals for more than seven years and I trust her a lot. She’s the happy girl whose favorite passtime is to play cupid. So, after more than a month of non-stop cajoling, she finally convinced me that it won’t hurt to give it a try. She’s very persistent. As in to the highest level!
We actually had a small fight over this. I told Andrea that I’m better off with online dating because I am able to choose who I want to chat with, unlike in blind dates, it’s like “Surprise! We’re on a date and we don’t like each other!” Which she disapprovingly questioned. She gave me a lecture on why that virtual thing is bad for my health well-being. Haha! In the end, I realized she has a point. My blind date details coming up soon! Pag sinipag ako 
Blind date, anyone?
Just yesterday, I received an e-mail from my college friend Andrea. I was really excited to hear from her after more than two years of not seeing each other. I was pretty sure she has a lot of stories to share so I immediately opened the message. To my disappointment, she was just asking if I could meet this guy who is searching for a new girlfriend. Huh?! She arranged a blind date for me! EEEEEEH! What’s with her? Has she gone nuts? She didn’t even ask if I’m still available or if I’m currently seeing someone…but of course, she isn’t forcing me. It’s just that…sigh…never mind. She said she’s just trying her luck on me. She already asked a lot of friends to do it but they all declined.
eh bakit kaya hindi na lng xa? !
You see, blind date isn’t really my cup of tea. In fact, I don’t even drink teas! I want mango juice! (haha! bobo!). Seriously, no. I don’t like blind dates. I am “allergic” to a lot of things and one of them is blind dating. You never know what you’re going to get into and it’s scary. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about date-rapes, yah know? Trouble is, I don’t know how to say ‘no’ in such a way that she won’t get offended 
Andrea has always been nice and sweet to me especially during college years. And if someone is nice to me, I return the favor by being doubly nice.
Just in case somebody out there is looking for a date or a blind date to be exact, please do contact me (*giggles). As if, somebody would give a damn haha!
