What comes to your mind
when I say “Filipino-Cupid, Military.com, Match.com, Tagged.com, Face book
Chat, Yahoo Chat, Date in Asia, Christian Dating?”
Do you honestly set
your true profile picture and status? Are you sincerely true to yourself when
meeting different people on the Internet?
Do you have sharp mind
in distinguishing a “USER” or an “HONEST SAMARITAN?” We become stupid sometimes and blame ourselves
in the end. We are influenced by other
people, the environment, and the trending innovations.
As I am composing this
article of mine, a certain song pops-out from my mind.
“I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But Mama said,
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take.”
All of us, have been through with many failed
relationships, been through bitterness and suffered domestic violence. With the influence of Cyber world, this serves
as an escape goat and our outlet. We started to open ourselves to strangers
just to unload the burden and get-off what is inside our heavy chests.
Maybe, some of us are envy that others met their lifetime
partners via “Dating Websites.” We dream and wish too, that we can be able to
find our long waiting partner.
On the other hand, have you set your standards in searching for the “REAL ONE?”
For women, we dream for Apollo or Adonis, or a guy who is
tall, dark and handsome, a guy who will give us the universe, a guy who is faithful and tough who is always there to protect us.
For men, they like sexy hot babes, or simple and plain, or a model type, a head-turner brunette, or long-legged slim ladies. Some guys want a trustworthy good wife and mother, know how to handle money matters, know household chores, and a woman whom they can put in a pedestal.
I want to answer my own question. I have my own standards and believe for an
ideal man. But since, I experienced a failed relationship way back 5 years ago,
I no longer believe for an ideal man. What I do believe is that, you will fall
in love, to a certain guy or lady who possesses the opposite standards you set
for yourself in finding a boyfriend/girlfriend. You are being blinded, and you
always follow your heart, while your mind keeps on dictating the other way
around.
At present, I am still waiting for somebody else to knock
at my door. Of course, we always learn from our mistakes from the past. Let the
past serve as my lesson, let today be a starting point, and let the future mold
what and where I will be.
