idiot's guide to dating: chapter 1

six ways to ruin a date:
1. reveal the identity of The One You Really Want and constantly (albeit casually) bring him/her up throughout the conversation.
2. bring your friends along and pay more attention to them. better yet, bring along The One You Really Want and pay more attention to Him/Her.
3. decline his/her offer to pay for your meal...but readily say yes when other people offer to do so.
4. roll your eyes each time s/he brings up anything remotely connected to intimacy, relationships, or any stuff romantically connected to the two of you.
5. completely avoid body contact. even the innocent ones.
6. let your ex (BF/GF, ka-MU or the like) join the date and show your current date how special the former flame was/is to you. even better, tell it to his face.

congratulations to me. i think i'm guilty of all counts. maybe i should be bothered, but i'd rather look at it this way: if someone really wants you, nothing can keep him away.

but what really bothers me is me. because i'm starting to wonder now why i tend to subconsciously do these things, in the first place.
