I want a girlfriend!!!

September 17th, 2003 with 181 views

I’m not sure why, but lately I’ve been thinking of this certain person a lot.

That person is a she, and she was my grade school best friend, one of the few people I’ve ever had a genuine friendship with. We lost touch when I moved to Makati, and until now I still think of her and wonder where she is right now and how she’s doing.

I haven’t thought of her in a while until my mom suggested a couple of hours ago that I call her up to see how she’s doing. I could do that, I guess, but I’m not so sure what to say to her. I mean, won’t it be kind of weird when a person you haven’t talked to in years suddenly just calls and goes like, “Hey, so what’s up?” like it’s something that happens everyday?

I’m the kind of person who would rather be in the company of a few close friends than many acquaintances, and till now I have yet to make a real girlfriend at school. Someone I can giggle with, tell all my deep, dark, girly secrets to, someone I can go to parties with, someone who I can open up to. I miss my friendship with my grade school best friend and though I doubt we could still be friends like that again, I wish I could have another friendship similar to that. It’s weird…I can’t seem to be really good friends with any girl at school who thinks in the same wavelength that I do. The girls I’m acquainted to at school usually fall into one of these categories, none of which really appeal to me.

They’re either:
a) too busy studying to have a social life
b) more like guys than girls, meaning they hang out with guys and talk to them about comic book stuff I don’t understand
c) the kind who bursts into a fit of giggles at the mere mention of the word “sex” (which is something that I find really annoying for some reason)
d) hypocrites
e) boring
f) annoying
g) intimidating

Ironically, it’s those intimidating girls whom I’d really like to get to know and maybe eventaully be friends with. It’s not like they’re the bitchy, superficial, conyo type or anything, but the reason why I find them intimidating is because I’m not a friendly person and I don’t know how to start a friendship with anyone. I mean, ORSEM was so long ago and they already seem so settled in socially. Bah, I guess I’ll just go with the flow and wait and see if my relationships with them improve. Seriously though…I really want a girlfriend!!!

Well it’s getting late, I’d better get to bed now.

    hah…your situation sounds eerily similar to mine. just keep hoping, though, and don’t classify people too readily. they might surprise you. i know people have surprised me

    I know exactly how you feel, Lauren. It’s hard when you have found someone you were really compatible with and then know that it’s all in the past. Don’t look too hard for it, because I think these are the things that will come when you’re least expecting it.

    I guess you’re right about the classifying part; I do that a lot. Sometimes I think I have peoples’ personalities all figured out, and I actually have yet to be surprised. But you’ll never know. :)

    Yepyep! It’s funny, cos I found true love when I least expected it. I suppose I’ll find true friendship when I least expect it too.

    i have to agree with both comments.. i remember this time when i was a freshie in college.. there’s this girl who’s the ultimate kikay girl. i just *knew* back then we’d never be friends. but you know what? we ended up close friends from sophomore year until we graduate :D

    life’s full of surprises, and i’m sure it has a wonderful surprise for you :)

    I know exactly how you feel. Up until the age of 15 I didn’t ever have a friend like that, then a girl moved over to our school from America (her name was Natalie too) and for some reason we just hit it off straight away. I’ve always found it extremely difficult to find girls who have a balance of everything, I want intelligent friends who I can have conversations about things that matter with, I want caring friends who will be there for me, I want friends who are prepared to go to parties and nightclubs and get all dressed up with me…where I live, they are either too studious and separated from the real world (never had boyfriends, never even look at the opposite sex etc.), too immature and can’t have a serious conversation, or just completely superficial and talk non-stop about clothes, make up and who is wearing what. But good luck in finding someone anyway :)

    ok, i went to 8 schools all my life, and my advice is just be yourself… don’t desire to be with certain ppl, let them come to you… try not to be judgemental…but be kind and accomodating so you are easy to approach… or you approach ppl yourself! don’t be scared to make friends… you can actually pick any girl you want… besides, if the intimidating girls turn out to be not nice/unfriendly/plastic, then that would mean they’re not worth being your friends after all! =) (btw, i was the one who sent you email b4 suggesting you try go for english studies abroad)

    I am 37years old and years old and never had a girlfriend in my life. I have been feeling lonely and useless for a very long time. Most of my younger brothers and friends are married with children. I feel left out and depressed. I feel very frustrated and I feel my life is being wasted.I believe that I am a nice person but women only seem to want to take advantage of me when they see that I like them. Smetimes I feel like going to sleep and never waking up again. I really think something is wrong with me. Is there?
