Finding Mr. Left

Any romantic hope I now hold for Mr. Frog is almost good as dashed. He has ceased communicating with me, even through text, despite being together last Sunday. He also said that he will text me this week to watch "The Last Samurai" with him, but he did not. Grrr... Hindi na 'ko natutuwa. Promise!

I know... I should have dashed that hope a long time ago, at the first hint of his ugly transformation. I should've dashed his head along with it, too, for being SO unbelievably stupid at the way he is handling this... this... whatever you call this... relationship!

Ligaya's right. Men are stupid. But let me add a qualifier: Men are stupid in matters of the heart.

So on account of his romantic stupidity, I am now declaring myself free--free to date anyone, again. In fact, I will set out on a mission to find a "fling" in Iloilo, when I go down there next week for work.

The next man I'll date will carry the following traits:

1. He is purposive. He knows why he wants to go out with me and knows where he wants the relationship to lead, maybe after a couple of dates. Most of all, he will let me know. To this day, Mr. Frog has done neither.
2. He takes care of my heart. He restrains himself from showing any sign of pursuit, until he knows for sure that he wants to establish a romantic relationship with me. Mr. Frog has given me flowers, stuffed toys, and some other cute things. Heck, what were those for?!?
3. He calls me up. He will make an effort to phone me, no matter how busy he is--and it doesn't have to be everyday. Mr. Frog has NEVER phoned me, even when I asked him to. (That jerk!) Well... just once, and it was only because the line was cut after I called him up.
4. He respects my feelings. I don't mind arguments. Arguments add spice to the relationship and strengthens it when done the right way. But. I would appreciate someone who can use words constructively, rather than destructively. In his anger, Mr. Frog can be really nasty with his words.
5. He loves my God. I have told myself that I will not let anyone stand between me and God. Not any guy. If the man I date cannot inspire me to love God more, goodbye. Mr. Frog unwittingly draws me near to God. On a good note, he has opened my eyes to worshipping God other than by going to church.

Haay. Pero sa tutoo ang daling magsalita. But deep inside, I know who I want. Still him... The man I hold in my heart as Mr. Right. Still him. I guess I'm just as stupid as he is, after all. Well... So much for Mr. Left.
