insider information

I found out I have more kepoh concerned friends than I realised. While calling me up to remind me about yesterday's music practice, this lady from church decided to take the liberty of asking me about my love life. Being modest honest, I implied that there was no one in particular. She proceeded to list down some of the eligible guys in church and asked me what I thought. She didn't give up when I told her there was nothing between me and any of them. If not for the fact that my parents are holding certain positions in church my family background, I might just have asked her to buzz off haha!

Then she went on to ramble about "101 ways to snag a guy", or something to that effect. She even offered to help "pull strings" should I require any. I politely tried to tell her if there was no chemistry or interest on the guy's part, whatever I do will not work. Now, I must tell you this, I'm happily living my life as a single. With all the things I'm occupied with, I hardly have time to date socialise. My belief is that if God has someone for me, He will bring that special person at the right time and at the right place. If it happens, it happens.

I must also tell you this, she's at least 10 years older than me, and still single. I'm not doubting that her methods might work. But I was quite amazed at the fact that while I hardly know her, she was really insistent concerned that I get hooked to a guy as soon as possible. To emphasise on that point, she said that it's easier to give birth while still young. (Yes, I'm aware that there are a lot of things which are better done while you're still young!)

Since I was busy at work, I did not have the luxury of explaining to her my principles, the fact that some people are better of as singles than being married, and that God has a unique plan for each and everyone of us. But I did point out that the matter is being prayed about. At that, she quickly requested that I include her in my prayers as well!

This must be the most "private" matter I've ever blogged about. I've held back from posting on anything remotely related to my thoughts on BGR as it's quite a personal issue for me. But because there has been an increasing number of nosy people caring individuals who have brought up the issue of why I'm still single, I hope this clears some stuff ya. Heck, even my own mother does not ask me these questions!
