The world is old and you would expect that people would become wiser. Sadly, when it comes to that four-lettered L word we are not. More specifically is when the word ‘LOVE’ is thrown between two strangers.
Honestly, I never could understand when people who never met, much less know how each other look like could fall in love. I might sound superficial but ‘dari mata, turun ke hati‘ didn’t just came out of nowhere.
Take my situation, for example:
Out of boredom, I started SMSed Wanie’s old friend, whom by the way was trying to woo her. The way I SMSed was with the “Yo man, wussup?!” vibe that I reserve for my boy friends. He on the other hand was all with coy vibe that makes me break out in cold sweat. So yeah, he asked me to help him with Wanie. She on the other hand was in hysteric determination to shoo him off.
After a few weeks, he started to ask personal questions about me. The week after that, he proclaims his undying love for me. WHAT THE HELL?! I nearly died rolling on the floor laughing. The thing that amused me most was when he said, “I never MET anyone like you before.”
O.o
Of course, I told him off and he swore to have me in the end no matter what. It would be scary if I’ve met him but since I haven’t, I’m not. I know its mean and all but hey, I’m not into this kind of things. I want the boyfriend love, yes. In desperate need for it, no.
The point is that, we’re only acquainted for not more than a month and he’s already admittedly saying that he loves me. More absurdly, he was readily willing to give his heart to Wanie a few weeks earlier. To which Wanie said, “See, I told you that he’s desperate”.
Told this to B and she said, “Girl, you’re terrific and you definitely don’t need a psycho stalker to prove your babeness”. Even though I scoffed at the statement, it did make my day. Thanks B!
Some people would question, “What if I know what they’re like via MySpace, Friendster, Facebook etc?”
Yes, there is a place to put pictures in our profiles but how many of those profile pictures are true? Better yet, how many of those profile truly depicts the owner? These days, most profile pictures are not those of the owner. It’s either taken from someone else’s profile or just a random picture from another site.
Don’t get me start on the profiles, now. I mean, how believable is “Orthopaedic doctor, part-time model, Malaysian astronaut”? Okay, so if it’s Dr. Sheikh Muszphar Shukor’s profile, it’s believable la.
We all know that nothing on the internet is 100% true and yet we still fell into this gullible state whenever that love e-mail or messages come trough. Words are words after all.
