so, are you getting hitched yet?
I bumped into an acquaintance earlier and after saying hi-what-not, asked him if he had a girlfriend (it’s the most standard and safest thing to ask any guy or girl you haven’t seen in yonks if they are in a relationship).
“I am getting married in September!” he beamed.
“Huh… didn’t you like, just started dating not long ago?”
“Yeah, one year actually, no use dating for 6 years before deciding to get married.”
I came back to the office and told my colleagues about it. One colleague said that a friend of hers met a guy online, talked to him via the net for a month, then met in real life and went out for five, and after that they were hitched. Now they have two kids.
It just is an extraordinary thing for me that people could get married so quickly and easily. Man, I don’t exactly know how long you have to be together to get married, but I put my minimum requirement at 2 years. It’s not a bad thing or anything to be married after a short while, it just seems a tad hasty to me.
Then again I have not met anyone I would want to spend an eternity with.
I have enough trouble looking for anyone who would want to spend 24 hours with me.
By the way congratulations to you! If you still read my blog, you would see this and I hope you don’t mind me being amazed and kolot, but damn we should have gone out

My brother got married after knowing the girl for less than year. They are now married 16 years. I phak-thor with my then boyfriend for 7 years before getting married at 25 years of age. What I’m saying is, if its meant to be….its meant to be.

‘It’s not a bad thing or anything to be married after a short while’
Psychiatry/Psychology says that proposing after a short time is normally a sign of insecurity.
‘I have not met anyone I would want to spend an eternity with’
Five mintues with some people will seem like an eternity!
Anywat, one of my friends got married after she met a guy … two weeks later, engaged, then married about a month after that … so quick. Last I heard, they were still together. I guess insecure people like that stay together as they’re too scared not to!
Maybe you should just propose to the first insecure guy you meet Suan. If he’s insecure enough, you can pwn the dude!
Suanie:
hmmm the starbucks guy looks cute

Since que sera sera is taken, I’ll quote ‘Let it be’ from the beetles… Some people just get hitched faster than others

You’re beginning to sound like an Ent

dig deep
To keep the flame alive mah.. so get hitched early loh.
Well, when you say “eternity” I guess two years does seem a tad hasty.
It’s a good thing I don’t plan on ever getting married – no, not even a ‘civil partnership’. The mortality rate for gay relationships is ridiculously high.
That said, I would like to get some wedding presents in this lifetime.
a friend of mine has been dating for more than 10 years, we’ll see how this goes.. heehee
Several of my friends got married to people they had known for less than a year. However, I have had some friend who were going around for 3 years and more but finally broke up. I guess maybe 2 years is enough to know each other. More than that, you will end up getting bored with each other but without the bonds that a marriage provides leading to a breakup.
do you wanna go out with me suanie?
Suanie:
as bad as this sounds, i want your penne carbonara
Why find a man who can spend 24hours with you? I thought we all already have one man and one woman 24 hours with us when we are born? In my personal opinion, anyone who spends time 24hour/365days per year is a formula for relation disaster. The importance of personal freedom is a necessity.
If a man who respect, love and care about you more than you do, I think he is worth your time to consider. As FA said, men are imperfect and I say lady’s need are easy to meet but their wants are impossible to satisfy and hard to understand.
Corny as it sounds,
when you meet the right person it all makes sense. This is true.
Suanie:
yeap corny as it sounds. i understand what you mean lah.. just being the pessimist that i am
Ok, I will buy you steak. With one condition, the “man” you mentioned should NOT be a married couch potato or a gamer.
Suanie:
should not be a married or should not be married at all?
well, my maximum to keep a girl was 3 years la.Then she dumped me to preach to llamas or something like that.I feel your pain.
Suanie:
now i keep thinking of winamp…
I mean single ler. Not those MBA(married but available).
So are you eyeing for Murni/TheShip/SanFran steak?
Suanie:
ho ho ho but I know one place better.
let\’s have steak anyway, regardless.
