Blind Dates

My friends are trying to matchmake me - muahahahaha! That, is truly amusing and at the same time kinda exciting too. Haha I've never been in this kind of situation before but hey I guess I must seem a little pathetic being 28, disillusioned and all...

Thing is, while I am supremely happy being single and free, I think I still do hope to meet someone suitable for me. I might even go for one of those speed dating thingies just to see what it's like. Or join TTT if they'll take me.

Watched The Leap Years at a friend's place yesterday and had an epiphany...

I don't just want to find someone I can live with, I want someone I cannot live without. Isn't that what love, romance and unions are all about? I want to meet someone I am passionate about. I want an Edward-Bella kind of romance. Failing which, I'll rather be alone. Why "settle" for someone? Is that what "settling down" really means?

Have been reading Marian Keyes again and her love stories seem so plausible, so desirable and yet out of reach for me. Perhaps the growing number of single and eligible women worldwide share my sentiments as well.

I seem to be meeting more and more unattached women in their late 20s, 30s and 40s. Ladies who are successful and might I say pretty decent looking as well. Is there anything wrong with this picture? Are we all trapped in our own little fantasy world? Have we been exposed to one too many romance novels?

What is wrong with having ideals? What's wrong with wanting a real man?

I am waiting for someone who is christian, humble, confident, gentlemanly, mature, generous, suave, fit, knowledgeable, intellectual, fun to be with, decent looking, clean, romantic, faithful and financially stable. He should have a can-do attitude, not be full of complains, be willing to experience new things (eg. sports or living in a different country), live life with a passion, desire to learn and improve, love reading and animals, not want to have kids, not be sex obsessed, be positive and encouraging, and allow me to have my own freedom and space to grow...

And that's all I was able to come up with in one breath. He doesn't even have to be a vampire, be filthy rich, play the piano and sing. Am I asking for too much?
