Yes, I'm single. What's your point?

I was riding an elevator with a friend, we were talking and then a cute couple suddenly came in. we went dead silent for I think, half a minute. And as they came out to their floor, both of us followed them with our gaze while silently jabbing each other’s sides and seconds after, the elevator became ours. ;) We looked at each other and laughed. Our faces were hilarious; it sure appeared that we are envious of them. I even teased her first, “inggit ka noh?” when in fact I, myself admit that I felt a little pinch at the inside of my heart.  Well, I missed being in a relationship :) but not desperately, though.

I only miss it. I’m not saying that I WANT to be in a relationship. Right now. Right at this moment. After all, for me, I think being single is fun. You can go wherever you want, do whatever you want without having someone who bombards your cell phone with calls and messages saying, “it’s late, go home. Now.” Or something like that. And most especially, you can flirt with all the boys as long as you like :p However, there are instances when you would really wish that there is someone who will just give you a hug after a long, tiring day. Or says I love you and sweet nothings to you every night, or just having someone who would show you tampo at times. In short, a partner. Someone who will eat lunch with you, wait you after a class and then send you home.

So, going back, my friend and I decided to eat and talk a little, since it was still early to go home. And then we thought about our standards, when it comes to men.  My friend is so picky when it comes to men, there are other guys who likes her but doesn’t give them a chance to prove their love to her, given that they are kind, wholesome and ATTRACTIVE.

“Me? I don’t really know. Maybe back then I have this weird list of characteristics that a guy should FIRST possess before I would allow him to get to know me. Now, I don’t have a particular list of standards anymore, as long as he’s kind and gives me special attention. Not that I am easy. Maybe the qualifications and standards are still there, I just can’t put them into words right now.” I told my friend.

Besides we are still young to think about predicaments like this. By the time I am in my 30’s and I am still single, that’s the time I will be nervous as a cat on still not having a partner. In fact, I am proud to be single and I enjoy every bit of it.So every time someone asks me if ever I am REALLY single, I respond with a, 

"Yes, I'm single. What's your point?" :)
