He doesn’t matter, does he?
Who?
The ex that you thought you were going to marry? Did he propose?
No, he didn’t propose at all. It really was my own delulu — I just assumed that we were going in that direction. He never proposed to me.
(Listening…)
There was one Valentine’s day, I wanted him to take me on a “horse and carriage” ride through Melbourne — I thought it was a cute, romantic thing. He was so reluctant about it! And it never happened… he just thought it was cringe or something, I don’t know. But even me now… I’m like, “Yeah… that little girl wanted something like that…” I just… was just maybe 19? 20? years old? It was so long ago…
(Still listening…)
He had a time limit.
When we would talk… on Skype? I can’t remember if it was Skype — we had to do long distance for a short while — sometimes, when I was in Gold Coast, and he was in Melbourne… and he had a time limit for how long he could “handle” me and all my talking…
When I told Malaysian Bestie about this, she said, “I don’t think he’s a good guy… for you… ” And she really tried — very gently — to start steering me away from him… I know now, she really, really tried to do it as gentle as possible… like… “Let’s… slowly back away from this… just… slowly, slowly…” Let’s not get stuck on this one……..
(Continues listening…)
They said he had a really good nose…
A good nose?
Yeah — for some Asian cultures — his nose represented “a lot of money” — something to do with Chinese face reading? Like, he’ll bring in lots of prosperity. “That’s a GOOD nose” — It’s not Western beauty standards at all.
(Chuckles)
My Dad has a similar nose…
And does he bring in a lot of money?
(Laughing)… No… (Shaking my head)… he brings in MONEY… but I wouldn’t call it “A LOT”…….
(I can’t describe this reaction right now…)
What’s a bad nose for money?
A “pig’s” nose —
Ohhh….
I’ve dated a guy with that nose too.
WHAT?!
No — not like romantic dating… well… nothing physical… he just took me out for a couple of dinners but nothing physical happened…
UGHHHH… (Loathing…) How did that happen? How did you date “Pig’s Nose” — !?
Well… I didn’t know he has a “pig’s nose” — not until… (laughing)… he once brought me back to his parents’ home, and I saw a family photo on top of their piano — “Who is THAT?!” Like he had a brother or a cousin with a “pig’s nose” — ?! And he said, “That was me! Before I had my plastic surgery!” — on his NOSE…
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA………………
