The Game of Love~*

Did it remind you of Santana’s and Michelle Branch’s song? (Whatever happens to Michelle Branch anyway?)

Love is something that I reckon wanted by almost everyone.

A good friend of mine wants to be loved. She is now in search of her ‘the one’. She’s finding it hard. But I tell her this all the time, don’t look for love too much. They’ll come to you eventually.

What about those who already got the love that they (thought) they wanted from the opposite sex? I guess they should feel thankful. But it’s not that easy. Falling in love is just the beginning of a game that could be really tiring for some soul.

Are there really a lot of differences between the boys and the girls? Do girls/ladies demand (sometimes) a bit too much of an attention? And do the boys/guys (sometimes) are really in the dark and they need to be guided (thorough step-by-step) on what do the girls/ladies expect from them? That is what I heard mostly.

This one is especially dedicated to the male readers of my blog;

i. Do you still remember the way you court us? All those attention, effort and time that you lavishly spent on us are greatly appreciated. And for spoiling us in the beginning of the relationship, yes, we DO expect (at least some of it) to continue throughout our togetherness :) i.e. – all the time.

ii. We do compare our relationship to other couple. Yes, we do realize that each individual is unique but we (always) failed to notice that you lot don’t think alike.

iii. ONE txt/sms per day is all it takes to assure us that you guys still remember us all the time and are not doing anything fishy that involves other girls (although, yes, this might not be true but assurance is a GREAT booster to our usually crappy day).

iv. DO NOT take really ‘friendly’ picture of you and a girl. NEVER. Even if you don’t intend to keep it, that girl might just upload it on facebook and tag you. Trust me, it’ll hurt your girl’s feelings just by looking at the pic.

v. When you’re bringing your girl to a rendezvous with your mates, maintain eye contact with her occasionally. It’s a sure way to tell her that although you are with your mates, she still has a really special place in your heart. Thus she won’t feel so much neglected.

vi. If you are in the relationship for quite some time, drop hints at random times that you DO intend to tie the knot with her one day. How to? Easy. Just start your sentence with “When we get married…..” and you’ll see her smiling radiantly.

vii. Do show your jealousy every now and then. But sans the ridiculous accusation and beating her is a big NO NO. A light jealousy is really cute and us girls adore cutesy stuff ;P

viii. Do not forget our birthday. It’s the nastiest thing you could ever do. It’s almost unforgivable! And you are expected to call & txt & leave her a testimonial on friendster. And also an intimate meeting just between you and her. A present along with it would be REALLY nice too.

ix. If you think you’ve hurt your girl’s feelings, all you’ve got to do is say SORRY, and I LOVE YOU. The latter word especially, would work wonders in cheering up your girl when you see that she is quiet for no apparent reason that you could comprehend.

My my, if I were to jot everything down, I might as well write a book and make a fortune out of it. I even have a kick ass title for the book and I can just picture how the cover will be like (I do love daydreaming, it’s sort of a therapy for me, aside taking a nap - zzZZzz). But the main thing is, I do realize that males need a really thorough guidance. I guess you find us girls as mystifying and we find u lot as perplexing :P But I suppose the one thing that all of us have to keep in mind is that LOVE is NOT a game. It’s a project, a venture, an assignment that needs teamwork and mutual aid. And just like how we want to complete a project/ an assignment, we need to cooperate. Because if we don’t, it’s almost sure that it will fail miserably.
