And when gals are thinking too much, the chances of the root cause being a guy is very high. So, I decided to "interview" a guy to get his point of view... hence the following randomly abstracted from my recent conversation:
TTB: I've told him how I felt... would he just assume that I will stay and feel the same even though nothing is happening between us? Wouldn't he think that I might have changed my mind already some time along the way?
BIL: No. Guys just take information straight forward and will just take what he'd been told and won't think otherwise.
TTB: If I miss him so so much, I will meet him no matter how tired I am.
BIL: Sleep comes first.
TTB: Guys tend to do short sms. One word sms are some how popular e.g. can. ok. yes.
BIL: Must be cool and macho when replying sms.
MC: Guys don't like to do sms.
(Really? But I find it extremely sweet to get sms like "take care", "drive safe", ":)" etc)
BIL: He might be doing all this to protect you.
TTB: And he's not about to tell me so?
BIL & MC: No!
BIL: Must act cool.
(I can act cool too. Humph...)
Most of the time it doesn't help when we don't know what's going on and guys don't provide more information. Then again, do we need to demand for everything to be crystal clear? I guess we will just have to be able to understand things from guys' point of views.
I tried taking glucosamine the other day to see if it will help with my occasionally knee pain. (It comes with old age). I had the luxury if trying some before I actually spend money buying because MFG gave me some. He said he got value pack and there were a lot. I finished those he gave me and felt that it worked. So I told MFG the result and that I will want to go get some supply. The next day, I got more supply from him. He still hasn't finished his.
The other day we had lunch together and he was all the time ready to pay for my drinks and my fried rice, even though I had my purse held out ready to pay for them myself. I know he had previously promised to be my lunch sponsor. Looks like the deal is still on going.
Today he paid for our lunch, and later over to Starbucks and also paid for my Caramel Macchiato. And you know what? He doesn't even drink coffee. He paid for my drinks even though I was the one who ordered the drink and was the one who was standing right in front of the till. That wasn't even "our" bill, it was "my" bill.
It feels very warm to have someone who is always ready to pay for me. Trust me, it feels great to have someone taking care of you this way. It's not about the money, it's about the readiness and the "always there".
How can I not indulge this person with more cakes?

Hee.. reading your selective dialog makes me laugh. Hee.. i bet this is how those politician/celebraties must have felt watching their interviewed being broadcast on telly but was only the selective conversation. HEE HEE HEE HEE...
Of course there are man who loves to SMS (usually the younger generation).
I know how you feel re:someone to take care and pay for your meals. I find that it is a hassle to dig out my wallet so uncool and unorganised and most of the time can't find my wallet (maybe is because i have a messy bag ha ha.. or i need yet another new bag) hence always let hubby to pay.. hee hee...
awww.. what a sweet guy. i totally understand what u mean by 'always there' for us. and it is somewhat 'haiz-ing' when they are not that clear to certain things (that looks like clear). anyways, hope things will turn up well. =)
Haiz... you are so right in describing the situation Lady Nina.
Haiz, haiz...
