Blind Dates

It is weird that the first thing I blog about (rustily, of course), is not about my favourite soccer players, my new camera (next post, I promise) or gripes about my work (of which I have plenty) but that of the two blind dates that I was forced went to lately, albeit reluctantly.

I am not exactly the type of guy who can snap his fingers and come up with 10,000 sweet nothings to charm a girl off her feet. I am an everyday journeyman who is used to silence. Your daily chee-hong pretender, I am not. While others may find it uncomfortable to be in the presence of one-who-does-not-speak, I feel perfectly at ease. I truly believe that empty vessels make the most noise and I am not eager to prove that I am one.

That was why the two blind dates turned out to be rather bland, as both subjects were not talkative girls. Single and attractive they may be, but chemistry is not something you can resolve by talking because you can say things to me and I will merely nod my head if I don't find a compelling reason to reply.

I don't fall in love easily but lately I have been swept off my feet. Thanks to level-headed advice and newly-found stubborn principles, I manage to find my feet firmly on the ground again. I now have a better idea what kind of a girl I am attracted to but heck, why can't they be not attached for once?

That said, I am still waiting for the Chosen One who will open the floodgates of noise and nonsense in me. Who shall be the terrorist of my heart? Until that day comes, I will continue to plod on... silently of course.
