I’ve done a post mentioning Jia before. I don’t know why I deleted it. I suppose I am crazy.
She runs a celebrity gossip blog called MissJia.com and also runs a personal blog of her own entitled She’s So Fly. Most of her writing has an honesty to it, some of which I don’t agree with. The older I get however I am careful with how I come at people and what they say.
This is hopefully an example of that.
A blog entry on her personal blog entitled “Top 5 Reasons I’ll Be Single Forever” spoke to me for some reason. I’ve asked this question of myself alot and never really bothered to explore the answer to such a question. I figure that I won’t be single forever and that if I just have a bit of faith in myself, things will work out.
It’s not set in stone that faith and hope are the way to a better life, but it’s better than a six-pack of Corona and a hangover.
Okay, let’s list the reasons:
5. I can’t cook.
Meh. Most people can’t cook these days with all the stresses of the economy and people work one or two jobs just to survive. I would be surprised if sales of microwave dinners didn’t go up because of the lack of time to make anything. I’m sure you can find a man who believes in a simple quick bite to eat.
4. I’m probably more of a commitment-phobe than you.
This is a tricky one. I think people do need to take their time in knowing someone. I think setting a time and place where a decision has to be made is putting too much pressure on either person to figure out whether this is the right person or not. There is a flip side to this coin however.
I can understand people needing to know right away an answer as to whether this can be a relationship or not sooner than later. Especially if the person is attractive as all out, so many come in and out of the life of a person’s dating pool that you are technically fighting for that number one spot. Some people don’t believe in waiting for the spark, some want to feel it light up right away like a stove.
It is true that when you get into something fast, the end of the relationship also comes fast.
3. I’m probably the girl your mother warned you about.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bad girl. Like anything however, there is a limit to how bad you can be before you turn someone off. Balance isn’t easy to achieve if you are a constant wild child.
2. I hate talking on the phone.
Me personally, there’s nothing that can replace the sound of someone else on the other line of a telephone. Of course if you are the kind of person that gets annoyed easily by the mundane, which most conversation is, you probably aren’t much of a phone person. To me, text messaging is too new day for me. I don’t have the budget to spend on sending and receiving text messages.
Text messaging in my opinion is like the shy nerd who doesn’t wanna hit on the model chick, which I have experience with; you take yourself out of the running without giving yourself a chance. In my book if I can only talk to you through text messaging, you must not really wanna talk to me.
1. I just don’t think I have “me” together yet.
I think you do. I also think once you eliminate everything that bothers you, being in a relationship won’t annoy you as much. That’s just me anyway.
And with that, I will shut up.
