It's Raining Men

Years ago, maybe 5, maybe 10, I was a little teenage girl who's really into reading those little teenage books with teenage drama. There were so many of them, and I've read so many, I can't even begin to count.

And of course, as a teenage girl, I understood. I took examples from the stories when they make sense, and I apply them to my life, when they are applicable.

So one of those books, there was this pretty teenage girl in high school. She's popular and pretty... and pretty much similar to most characters in those books. At one point, in the hundreds of books she's featured in, she had 3 guys in her life. Guy number one is a handsome blond haired quarterback who just broke up with his long term girlfriend. Guy number two is a kind hearted green eyed quarterback from another school. And guy number three is a strong-jawed, good-looking, eccentric champion swimmer who's also very smart. And of course these 3 guys are really hot, being athletic and all.

So pretty much, the story goes that she couldn't choose between them. And when it fails with one, the next guy steps in. And then, hanging with one guy, the next guy would ask her out. After which, she got upset, and she would mope around not being able to decide.

So one day, while seeing the swimmer, the nice guy asked her to accompany her to a sports award thing, so she went. There, to her surprise, all 3 guys were present, and the other two came with hot dates as well. She was a little devastated. When the smart swimmer guy, saw her looking distressed, talked to her and asked, "Who do you really want?"

She looked around the room at all the three guys, and said, "I don't know."

So this guy looked at her, gave a little amused smile, and said, "Have you ever thought of being single?"



That story, I can't get out of my head lately. That story is why I am single right now. Because frankly, I couldn't choose. I still can't. And I'm happy staying single, rather than hurt someone I don't want to, unintentionally.

What does San call them? Suitors? lol. I'd hardly think they are one of those suitors trying to win a princess's hand in marriage or anything like that. But yeah San thinks everything is a fairytale, that's why I love her. :-)


So yes, the only problem I'm having right now is, I'm still hurting some people by simply staying single. I don't understand anymore. So right now, I'm supposed to choose, or not? But what if I can't? What if I just simply don't want to?



As you guessed, the only song that fits this blog entry:

'Cos tonight for the first time
At just about half past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen
I'm gonna go out
I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet

It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men
Every specimen
Tall blond dark and mean
Rough and tough and strong and lean

LoVe~
