Fly on the wall

Eating my lunch alone, I find myself hearing the conversation between a group of 4 ladies seated at the next table...

Single ladies I assume as they seemed to be chatting about one of them going to sign up with a matchmaking agency and the others asking her to let them know if it was worth it.

Apparently someone in the group must have indicated a preference for bald men because there was an extensive conversation on that. One of them declared that she thought bald men weren't virile while another suggested that she find a guy she likes and then ask him to shave his head.

I did everything I could to keep from giggling to myself...

Sharing is caring

We don't meet for ages and then suddenly we've met twice in 4 weeks. That would be my extended, not-so-close girl friends.

It was for a pre-Christmas celebration and we all brought our gifts in tow for the gift exchange game. We each picked a number. Person who was number 1 got to pick a gift first and open it to show the rest, number 2 then picked another gift and opened it and she could then decide if she wanted to keep her gift or steal number 1's. And so it went on till number 5 because there were 5 of us. You want to be the last one, that gave you an option to steal anyone's gift and the other person had no choice but to swap.

Ms Cool Cat was number 1, with Sweet & Simple Girl as number 5. And when we were done with the gift exchange, we proceeded into girl talk about boys. Ms Cool Cat shared that she was still in touch with this Canadian guy she had met a month ago and Sweet & Simple Girl talked about an Australian colleague who asked her out for lunch in her new job (he's new too). Sweet & Simple Girl didn't want to date in her office (something about not shitting where you eat) and she suggested a swap with Ms Cool Cat. In her words, "I am number 5, you have to swap".

Yes, apparently girl friends are friendly like that haha!

I can't believe he said no

I may not be dating but some of my friends are.

The other day I caught up with some girls friends, most of whom I hadn't seen in a while. Ms Cool Cat was sharing about the recent demise of her relationship. It surprised me to know that he was the one who called it off because he had always been really into her. The thing that got to her the most was that she wasn't even interested in him initially but ultimately was won over and then started to genuinely like him. And after a happy few months, he randomly decided to break up with her for no real good reason and most of all was reluctant to talk about it properly and give closure.

Granted we all thought that he handled it immaturely but that sparked up a topic about guys we couldn't believe rejected us.

Not that we're being all high and mighty, thinking we are better than everyone else. But if we're honest with ourselves, there have been times when we went on a date with a guy where frankly you know that you're "better" than he is. But when he turns out to be the one who decides not to contact you again, you can't help but be slightly offended. Afterall you're "better" than he is, how is it that he gets to reject you instead?

One of the girls had the best story which had us all in absolute tears from laughing so hard.

The guy was cross-eyed. And yes he was the one who chose not to contact her again.

It's been a few years but she still hasn't quite gotten over it...
