The motivation behind this post is the curiosity of people about my relationship status.
As is her custom every few months, a very good 'chat pal' was again on the same topic the other day. She was convinced about the fact that I was lying about my non-existent better half and later proceeded to try and convince me that it was high time I start looking. Is she right? Am I missing the bus? Should I really be serious about this? IS there such a thing as a 'RIGHT TIME' for this venture?
Since, I have so many friends better experienced in this field, I thought why not throw the question out. Why not gain from their experience. First thing I did, I looked at all my friends trying to figure out when they got involved, why they got involved? Why even some of them wanted/want to get involved?
Certain responses for the motivation to get involved:
"I just can't stay lonely anymore. I need someone to share my life"
"You sit at work 12 hours a day then you will know"
"I need sex atleast twice a week"
"I think I am ready"
"Bas ab shaadi karni hai"
I distinctly remember laughing after each reply ;). There were many reasons due to which people came to a conclusion that they should have that special someone. Though I have never come to a similar conclusion ever in life, I do wonder about one thing. Is there a 'RIGHT TIME' for people to feel like this? Should you feel this way at a certain age, at a certain stage in life, etc Is there something wrong with you if you don't feel that way? Though my inexperience with relationships should disqualify me from any such discussions, I think my inexperience itself gives me a unique perspective on this topic. It allows me to think about it objectively, without any bias. I don't think everyone has this urge. And people can stay quite happy without someone special. Do you agree? Or are people like me just kidding themselves?
Note: People who recognize their own quotes, and are thinking of ways to punish me should be thankful I did not use any names ;) .

There is definitely a time when normal people start thinking about this.... its called puberty :P
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess all the "virgins" would agree with you whereas the "couples" would beg to differ ;-)
ReplyDeleteApart from the sensitivity of the topic, given the current scenario (i bet u kno wht i'm sayin) and the vast experience of our elder bros who would gladly discuss this at lengths with u in person at any given time, I would prefer to stay mum and keep my neutral comments to myself ;)
Btw, just out of brotherly concern i need to know 2 things:
1) Say (hypothetically) this "chat pal" is indeed right, what is your POA ?
2) Is this "chat pal" of yours, a doctor by any chance ;) psychiatrist and all u kno...hehehe
virgins and couples - thats your distinction!!! glad to know that being a couple for you only means opposite of being a virgin ;). And after that you talk about sensitivity of the topic, seriously!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you keep your comments to yourself how do you expect me to respond. An what do you mean If she is right? thats what I asked, to explain whether, if and how she is right. Kuch explanation do diya nahi, response should not be expected.
hahaha...well, u just proved my immaturity at such mature topics...
