Everyday, people ask me why I am not worried that at 26, I am single and have no prospects for a husband. Heck! I haven’t even really had a serious long-term relationship. I’m retarded, I know. SHADDUP! Other people are more worried than I am.
It doesn’t really bother me a lot. I know I whine, blog, and Plurk a lot about boys, having them, not having them, and many other variations of being with them or having problems with them. But the truth is, I am taking things slowly, am just out there to have fun. I am not losing sleep over the fact that my biological clock is ticking and I might never get married or have children.
You see, when I broke up with my so-called boyfriend, Ate Aileen told me to take it easy and have fun with teh boys. She literally told me to find, meet up, and maybe date at least three boys per week. I took her advice to heart and didn’t take anybody seriously. Rather, I went out there and had fun. I’m still having fun.
Right now, I really don’t know what it is I want from a guy and from a relationship. All I know is… I want to be happy. With a guy, without a guy, doesn’t really matter much right now. For the longest time, I haven’t had time or opportunity to go out and enjoy. And that’s what I’m doing right now. I may date a few guys here and there, flirt like there’s no tomorrow with more than enough guys than I can handle, and maybe pine over a handful of them… occasionally… when I’m bored.
But while I’m having fun, I am looking forward to the day I meet my very own Sweetie just like what happened to Ate Aileen. It might have taken her a long time, and she kissed quite a few frogs before she found her prince. But my, oh my, that prince turned out to be her perfect guy, the Sweetie she truly deserves. And now they’re getting married!!!
So that’s why, ladies and gentlemen, I have not lost hope that one day, I too will meet my own Sweetie. He might not be as great or as sweet as Kuya Jay, but he will be perfect for me. He will accept me for who I am, flaws and all, appreciate all that I have to offer… and work really hard for our relationship to work. Ours might not be the perfect love story, but it will be great. Might not be eventful, but at least it is ours.
So while I kiss frogs, Ate Aileen had found her prince. And that keeps me very hopeful that I too will find mine.
Check out this very kilig video of Kuya Jay’s proposal to Ate Aileen… and be inspired to love and be loved… 🙂
wow ! special mention kami ! and it’s very flattering that you derive inspiration from our story. take note we’re both in our 30’s and in 2 years time, we decided to get married. Plus we’ve both been in some long term relationships ourselves prior to that. So don’t lose hope.
Don’t actively antipicate it. It will just come. 🙂
Your sweetie shall arrive. 😉
Awwww! True… and I said 5 boys per week not just 3 hahaha. I actually met my prince when I was 31 during one of those weeks LOL and well I also prayed a lot for it. Don’t ever lose hope! Hugs.
Whatever it is you choose (bf or no bf), I shall support you. But if you do choose a bf, he to pass through strict ISO standards. You know the drill. I may be joking you a lot but it all comes down to what you want and not have others push people to your face. But it’s all about making smart choices. I hope you won’t end up like someone we know. LOL
Hi Ria,
26 is still young enjoy your life and along the way you will meet your prince.
Of course you will meet a lot or even get into relationship but like Aileen said pray and soon you know in your heart that this is it,he’s the one na.
Good luck
Hi, Ms. Ria .
Good luck in finding your Sweetie.
@ drew
two thumbs up to you bro! i know this ain’t easy for you being protective of her but of course a brother knows best.. cheers..
di ka nag iisa. i’m turning 28 on april 23 and i’m least bothered about still being single. i have a son though. i still believe we should make the most of being single. marriage or partnership is a very very very serious commitment no one can ever thoroughly explain. :]
Ha! Madalas ko ngang nababasa yung mga “whines” mo sa Plurk.
My eldest sister wasn’t married yet, nor does she have any plans to get married. She’s 33. My elder sister got married at 24. I don’t really know about girl things but I think you can find your own soon. Just wait. Don’t be pressured by things and people! 😀
Malay mo isa pala yun sa mga DotA-mates mo! Haha.
Everything happens at the right time. You’ll know it when you get there. Best of luck Ria. =)
There is always a somebody for somebody 🙂
