No expectations

I haven’t given up on my quest to get Good Guy. I received advise from friends to just go out with him and enjoy his company like the old times with no expectations. I repeat. No expectations.

I think I heard the same words from him years ago when I tried to fix him a date with a colleague. He said no expectations. I had to ask him, “Are you just afraid you might find yourself expect-y at the end of the day?” He just didn’t like the idea of girls getting disappointed when they found out that he wasn’t that gorgeous guy they thought he was on paper and on the phone. I got the drift. No expectations.

So I did try to relax and enjoy life as it is and put a bunch of things in proper perspective. We’re good friends and activity partners and nothing in between. That’s it. While I was in that experimental mode for a week, I diverted my attention to other interests and his friend caught my attention. Then a wicked idea was born.

Me: Your friend B is nice, no?
GG: Why?
Me: Nothing. I just thought he’s nice. Read his blog.
GG: He is a good friend.
Me: What does he do?
GG: Hotel manager.
Me: Wow.
GG: Why are you interested?
Me: He’s talented. I love to discover talents, right?
GG: Hehe..so you’re a talent manager now?
Me: Why not? Unless you mean otherwise...
GG: ;-)
Me: Is he married?
GG: No. Single.

I wasn’t really sure if that was really a good way of relaxing things between me and Good Guy. For us to be good friends, I decided to take out the romantic part by focusing my attention to another guy and made sure he knew about this shift.

In the meantime, let me enjoy the current and drink soda to that. No expectations, ha. Sige. Cheers!
