i don't date...to be precise i haven't been out on date for the past two years at least...and that was my creepy x-bf...hell he was creepy...what other kinda guy can you pick up on anti-depressant... :-)
i get asked...not a lot, but enough, every now and then a guy comes along who braves my one raised eye-brow and sneer to ask me out...my family doesn't know, they tend to think i am a reclusive because of lack of choice....but still i do believe in the pocket change philosophy of wanting to keep something for a rainy day and yeah the safety in numbers...currently i have three whom i fondly call my three stooges... :-)
one is bordering on obsessional, the second is beyond that but keeps it controlled and the third is trying his best to subtly emotionally blackmail me into dating him...currently all three are at the friends level, not that i think i am ever going to change it with them :-) ...and yeah at no point have i ever given the three any hopes that we could be more than friends, in fact i warned them no to get interested in me no matter what and i don't play games...my philosophy in life has been easy, if its not my emotion, then its totally not my problem...
on Sunday night i realized something about life in general...looking back i couldn't find the demarcation when i stopped doing crazy things because they were crazy...and how we are much more carefree when we are younger, oh by the way i am 27, just turned a month and some days back...what brought about this realization was something strange that happened, the usual situation as far it concerns me...
i have been house-sitting at my sister's place because they have been out for and extended weekend to the hills...by Sunday night i was getting nuts with not talking to anyone...so i went in the balcony, and some guys were hanging out in their balcony in the opposite window...so i went inside, four guys drinking and screaming even as distant-company is not my idea of fun...after some time they seemed to have run out of smoking and seeing me smoking, they decided to start a conversation with this topic...one of them, screamed out "hey can we borrow some smoke, we ran out"...i told him, "no"...i don't share my smoke...and thus started a crazy conversation with one of them, the one who screamed out..."let me guess you are either a Gemini or an Aries"...."Gemini"..."I guessed right, now tell me your name"..."dream on kid"...i asked his age, he was 22...i told him to play with someone his age...its been years since i heard these grass green pick-up lines, with age pick-up lines seemingly get too sophisticated...
"i bet there were a lot of guys nuts about you in school and college"...yeah i had my share, but why the hell would i tell him, i said "no"..."there must have been a lot of shy kinds who must have been nuts about you but didn't say it, because believe me you are most interesting woman i have met"...seriously who says that anymore??...well yeah there were a few of that variety also, which i found out after joining a social networking website some three years ago and ran into a class-mate whose first words to me were "is this you ----- the girl i was nuts about in school??"...well i deleted my account...i really don't want to find old suitors who tend to hit on you because you are single...i learnt my lesson after it happened to me the first couple of times... :-)
anyways as i started feeling bad for the four of them i told them that i had chocolates which i can throw at them if they like...so this guy is like, okay...so he and one other guy went downstairs to get the chocolates, cause i cant throw one floor high and he is like "i love you"...i told him "good for you"... :-) ...hell my nephew tends to snatch my chocolates without a thank you also :-( ...
after sometime i went inside, screaming across two buildings at two in the night does sound as fun, but other people live nearby...after sometime i heard a thud, and i went to look in the balcony...i looked at their balcony, not a guy in sight, the four had disappeared inside, and yeah i could see the curtains twitching :-) ...it was a paper-ball...i looked down on the ground, and found some there also...so he has been aiming at the balcony for sometime...inside was a cell-number and a smiley, and no name... :-) ...then he came out and started screaming, "call me"...i said no...it must have been around 3, so after waiting and waiting he went inside...
i still have the number...forgive me the guy was cute, intelligent, amazing green pick-up lines and still did crazy things...and then i realized what age does to us...how we stop doing crazy things and start thinking before acting...and somewhere i do miss the spur-of-the-moment-madness in the rigmarole of survival, i guess...
so should i call him up?? :-)

moonriver said on Jun 29, 2009....
hi again WW--first off: can i see that one raised eyebrow in real-life action?i'm so fascinated with eyes, especially if one has a raised eyebrow. LOLpocket change philosophy, huh? well, i won't raise my eyebrow at your having collected three stooges, so long as they know what they're in for... slapstick comedy and everything.your first mistake was in answering, "gemini." you shoulda given them a little more mental exercise and answered, "you should be able to tell by my eyebrows!"your second mistake was in sharing your chocolate ammo with them.and your third mistake was in picking up the paper ball.and since you had three mistakes in a row, my only conclusion is that you really liked the series of events to lead to wherever it may lead to.in short, call him up, silly girl, say something wise like maybe "this should be worth my precious time, or i'll clobber you," and then play it by ear.still smiling here. you wrote this blog in such humorous detail... :-) -
gingersoul said on Jun 29, 2009....
Yep......call him up....what are you waiting for? You are a procrastinator even in dating.......lol.. -
diabolicdame said on Jun 30, 2009....
Call him! I had real fun reading this.. hehe.. its a good 'meet cute'.. I saw this movie in which they described that the scene where two characters meet in a movie is called the 'meet cute' apparently.. hehe.. and I agree with moon.. you liked it too.. sooo.. call him!! :-) -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey moonriver,
i can send you a pic with the one raised eye-brow and sneer...howzzat my friend?? :-)
don't raise your eyebrows on the three stooges, i never gave them any inkling the status quo between us will change, ever... :-)
i was busy laughing my ass off at that time, i don't think i have ever got picked up with the sun-sign line...i shared the chocolate cause i was eating the chocolate in front of them...or maybe just feeling guilty for not giving smoke, only a smoker can understand the craving when they are out of smokes...
i didn't keep the number, i rescued it from the dust-bin when i was writing this blog... :-)
i guess i am been living too sanely for the past five years, or rather make it six and a half...self-preservation instead of a virtue has become a way of life... :-( ...maybe thats part of the grass-green pick up lines charm... :-)

hey gingersoul,
interesting way of putting it :-)...don't think procrastinating in dating though...more like recuperating from dating creepy guys... :-)
WW

gingersoul said on Jun 30, 2009....
But being self-preserved virtuous can be sooooo boring.....;-p -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey dd,
okay woman...
i was putting his off for a rainy day...and guess what, its raining here... :-)

hey gingersoul,
the past five years weren't good :-)...and i was coping in the only way i knew i guess...
Texas still burning?? we got rain in Delhi... :-)

gingersoul said on Jun 30, 2009....
Wise girl you are....:-)
Dallas has fat grey-shly clouds too this morning....but its good for me....it give us some rest from this scorching sun.....actually i kind hope will rain....
-
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey gingersoul,
lack of choice...survival in the end is a neccessity rather than a choice... :-)
i hope the clouds deliver, most of the times they tend to be a tease without a follow-up...

moonriver said on Jun 30, 2009....
hi wired girl.about the raised-eyebrow pic, i'd be thrilled to take a peek, you know that.and you know where to send it to, i'm sure... ;-p -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey moonriver,
i am just not very getting-clicked friendly, but i will try my best to oblige you... :-)
and yeah i do know where to send it...

gingersoul said on Jun 30, 2009....
Hey, don't talk bad about clouds, girl.....lol.... -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey gingersoul,
i like clouds...especially after the last few days...and "cloudy" by Simon and garfunkel used to be a favorite childhood song... :-)
anyways just found this on an fb application "bumper stickers"...
"PROCRASTINATORS, LEADERS OF TOMORROW"...

UnicornForm said on Jun 30, 2009....
yeah i do love the rain...but WW You should definitely check him out, if hes crappy, well leaving is fun. Im a single in the country, no different, i dont date either, i think best freinds should eventually makesomething of it. -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey UnicornForm,
i love the rain as long as the drops are semi-heated...don't have much love for cold drizzle... :-)
thinking of checking him out...been living like a saint for too long, dumping isn't much fun, but i guess i still am capable of doing it... :-)
i can understand the not-dating part...been a couple of years since i have looked at a guy and not thought "hassles" :-( ...as long as its your choice its fine...

It's tough growing up WW. I suggest you stop smoking and franternizing with idiots. You have a long way to go before you'll get a good one. -
dyingman said on Jun 30, 2009....
Don't call him. Wait about 8 years before you call ANY of these bozos back. Everyone will be happier. -
Hegemone said on Jun 30, 2009....
Well it could be interesting to call him up, but that's all depending on where you're at in your life and if you feel like taking the time to do so. It is really amazing how suddenly we're aware of our actions BEFORE we do something, as opposed to only after wards. I will say though, even as adults with the ability to think before we act, sometimes it helps and rejuvenates us to just do something spontaneously every once in a while. -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey buckrogers,
i am sure growing up is tough...and also over-rated...
smoking is not something i asked for advice, so try to refrain...
a good one...does that kind exist??...cause i sure don't know any...or perhaps they never caught my fancy :-)
anyways thanks for the comment...i am pretty ambivalent towards the idea as it is...
WW

Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey dyingman,
wait for 8 years??...lemme think...why would they give me the time of the day then?? :-) ...
a girl gotta have some fun... :-)
WW

Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey Hegemone,
someone who finally got what i meant all along...i am missing the lack of spontaneity from my life...thanks for being acutely insightful of what i was actually trying to say...in other words, thanks for getting it...:-)

gingersoul said on Jun 30, 2009....
WW....don't listen to a man...since when they know what a girl wants?....LOL. -
Weird_World said on Jun 30, 2009....
hey gingersoul,
i wanna be dead before i do something stupid enough to listen to a man... :-)
you can make a chart for men in what is supposed to make women happy, and believe me they still wont get it... :-)
my ambivalent feelings are due to being 27 and too many years of self-preservation... and yeah some strange reluctance to date someone younger than me... :-(
WW
-
gingersoul said on Jun 30, 2009....
Well, not only I dated a lot of younger guys (and a few really younger than me) but i even married one...10 years junior .....
They make you laugh and sigh...and some even break your heart...don't be afraid of them...they don't bite...well....yes, they do.... but in the right places....lol... -
Weird_World said on Jul 01, 2009....
hey gingersoul,
you make me smile woman...found this a couple of days back "i don't bite, unless you are into that sorta thing"... :-)
spontaneity is fun at the moment, on hind-sight it seems to lose its charm anyways... sadly... :-)
i am going to finally start dating again, probably that's a good consequence... :-)
WW

moonriver said on Jul 01, 2009....
psst. ww!about dating again, you do that, girl.and bring a lasso and handcuffs, just in case. -
Weird_World said on Jul 01, 2009....
hey moonriver,
lasso and handcuffs?? no way...sometimes they are pretty hard to lose...cause i got something which men tend to crave...yeah it called the "listening quality" :-( ...
WW
-
moonriver said on Jul 01, 2009....
hahaha! exactly.i meant for you to tie 'em up and handcuff them to a street post or bar stool, if they get too unruly or clingy, so you can do a quick ta-ta hasta la vista adieu!
