oh , fuck it.

I am very angry today because apparently the guy i politely rejected a few weeks ago is going all out to avoid me.

Because i do not want our friendship to sour because of it , i shoved all apprehensions to the back of my head and took the initiative to ask him out for coffee last week after the lack of communication between us and he gave me the most downright lamest excuse

"Sorry , i'm headed to the gym later.."

Being the thick-skinned person that i am , i wasn't about to give up so i replied

"Meet me after gym la !"

After a few agonising minutes ..

"Don't think so , i will be hot and smelly after gym.. And i will be tired as well.."

Like , what the fuck.

In the past he used to have no problem meeting up even after spending the day at the gym and now i had to cajole him into meeting up for a cuppa ??

Rejection is indeed painful , so i didn't bother to reply and went off to lick my wounds .

A week later ( which was yesterday ) after ZERO forms of contact between us , i found him online and went to pester him.

I asked about his happenings and he answered in a rather cryptic manner

"Okay lor , the usual. Camp during weekdays , gym and hanging out during weekends.. and missing someone.."

Was that person still me ? I had to ask.

"Woo.. Missing someone eh ? Somebody new ?"

"No.. its still the same person.. you might know her.. She stays in Tampines blk 277 .."

So he goes on to talk about how he can't bring himself to contact me , much less meeting up because i depress him.

So i asked , when are we going to meet up then ? Don't you want me as a friend anymore ?

His answer made me sian immediately.

"When you tell me that i still have a chance or when i have completely forgotten about you.."

Translation : I never wanna see you again unless you promise me that you're going to become my girlfriend , so fuck off bitch and stop being nice.

I'll be damned.

I really hate it when a friendship meets its demise this way.

I tried to salvage it , only to meet rejection.

And now , things aren't looking so rosy with the Ah Beng too.

Sigh.

I noticed that the guys of today are less chauvinistic and displaying more of the characteristics usually associated with women.

Being overly sensitive , the belief that you can't possibly remain friends with a girl after rejection/breakup.

Our manly ancestors would probably turn in their graves should they see the modern man on the streets tucking his partner's bag under his arm like its the most natural thing in the world to do.

And huh , whatever happened to the submissive woman who would peel prawns for her boyfriend ?

I realised that the tables had been turned when the Ah Beng actually peeled prawns for me. ( i was quite touched by the gesture actually )

And the list goes on.

Ah, men.

They're the new Female.




Actually i'm feeling slightyly whoozy from an overdose of cough syrup now so pardon me if i sound incoherent or if the post is full of grammatical mistakes . cheeeeeeeers.
