* Who says I cannot go out with other guys? *

I'm quite a busy girl. I have a very busy yet contented life. I am occupied with studies and activities and personal. I have a nice family to talk with. I have great cousins to hang out with. I also have different circle of friends to hang out with. I also have quite a number of good guy friends to hang out with.

Today some people's talk sparked me. I know they are joking but anyway, I do think there are people who have such mentality out there in this huge world.
"I already have a girlfriend why must I go out and see other girls.."
And I bumped into CCH today at Alamanda and he saw me and asked : "Hey are you hanging out with the wrong guy ar?" when he saw Imran. *Hey I'm just quoting, I know you are joking :) *

Well it's not that it's wrong but there do are people who have such attitude and mentality. Everyone has their way to love and to live. Just that mine differs. Who says someone who's in a relationship can't go out with people of the opposite gender?

I admit. I like to mix with people and surprisingly I always mix quite well and easily with guys, to the extend my mother once joke : "Guys will all treat you just like a brother/sister and you will have a hardtime finding a boyfriend" or "No guys will want you because you are close to every guys". I don't flirt purposely and I don't think I'm flirting. I know some people always joked and called me "buaya" but well, I can just say that I was being....friendly and sociable, and maybe - talkative. Well, mixing well with guys is not wrong, just like some guys who mix really well with girls too. Fair and square. And yeah I'm close with guys and I treat them very good, but I have more to give to a boyfriend, and even more to give to a husband. So you could see how good I can be. :P *perasanness in me. sorry, it's always there*

Some might think I might not be a good girlfriend because I still go out with guys. But to me it's just a matter of the motives you carry. I like to keep in touch with good old friends, catch up and etc. And sometimes I prefer to do it 1 on 1 or with 2 or 3 most, because in this way we can really talk and listen, that is how you foster a friendship. I feel comfortable talking with them solely as a friend, a friend whom I treasure, a good friend who I like to keep in touch with, that's all. If there's any possibility for a girl who has the intentions to have some backup lifelines by keeping in touch with guys so that there will still be guys ever ready for her after she broke up, I don't think it's right. Some told me I should do so, be realistic and etc. It's not that I'm not being realistic. And just because it is, it doesn't mean it should be (Imitating Mrs Boss from Australia the movie). What's the thing with having back ups in a relationship? That's sheerly unreasonable to me. However there really are people like these and being able to have such intentions might just lead them to falling into more wrong-side-business in a relationship (I'm imitating Nullah from Australia the movie!). Why are they so afraid of having no more other options after breaking up... There surely will be someone for you, no worries. :)

It's the same applied to guys. Who said a guy who has a girlfriend cannot hang out with his girl-friends? Who says he can't peek at other girls while shopping? Yes he can, he can compliment, he can say she looks good, that's it. Fullstop. Period. If he goes more than that to 'she looks and feels so much more better than my girlfriend', then deng him. Any of you girls encounter this you can give me his name, I can help you make a "deng" post. :P

It all comes down to trust and being faithful. It takes a lot of courage and heart to trust a person, and this works both ways, or else it will be tiring for both the one who chose to trust and the one who doesn't. Last but not least, honesty is always the best policy. If things are not right, say it out and deal with it, of course, together. Time might not heal some things in life, truth will. :)

So at the end of the day, who says a taken girl like me cannot hang out with other guys? I know what I am doing. I know how I am feeling. And I know where my heart belongs.
Plus come on, everyone wants to hang out with me how could I be so cruel to reject them! They are all my lovely friends!!!! :P

haha yeah. everything is down to trust. However trust comes from effort and care.

I totally agree about hanging out with different gender even you are in a relationship. However, one thing is, you gotta know ur limit.

I usually notice my friends gf/bf got jealous was because his partner went over the limit. Quite difficult to explain, sometimes people can see there is always a one sided interest in some friendships. So the gf/bf just gotta learn how to show that there is nothing going on and he/she knows her limit?

About this "Plus come on, everyone wants to hang out with me how could I be so cruel to reject them! They are all my lovely friends". If a girl kept on asking ur bf out for a date, that wont be cool right. Especially she is hot and people sense there is a interest going on. There is once i quarrel with my girl about that issue, coz i know this innocent playboy dude well. Her reasons are just like urs, close friends, after that i started hanging out with some girl and its my girl turn to quarrel back =P Its just complicating! lol.

I guess it all depends on what type of life you want. A two sided relationship does requires some control i strongly believe. That would be saddening lah for sure. I also want to date all my hot girlfriends and head to the club every night, but still got to respect my girl? so cant do it ^^

Amen! Well said ;)

3POINT8 said...

wow, u sure know how to think.
ur bf must be a very lucky guy

furydose said...

unforgiveable...hanging out...with Imran...it's so obvious i'm a better choice...;p

renaye said...

well... i have friends who think all they need is their gf/bf and ditch their friends aside. and when they break up, they would come crawling back to their dumped friends. how low.

i do mix around with all genders and i do ask permission/consent from their gf/bf if i could mix with their partners like my buddies. this will hinder them from suspecting anything between me and their partners. phew.

but seriously i think it's pretty low to tell ur gf/bf that they cannot hang out with the opposite genders and such. i have a friend who has this kind of restriction and i relaly pity her because she tries to avoid talking to guys in office!

To support you, lets go out together! To double the excitement, let watch Australia again! Haha! :P

Lisalicious said...

totally boils down to trust, faithful and respect

yeah being in a relationship does not mean one shouldnt have friends from opp sex...

curryegg said...

And now I wanna hang out with you no matter I am a GIRL! HAhahaha... Can?
:P

Yes. I have the same opinion as you as. As long as we know our limit and clear what we are doing, everything is under controlled.. ;)

-popjammerz- said...

- i.r.v.i.n.e - :
Hey there! Yes, control. That's also one important point! Thanks so much! :)knowing the limit is important, i agree to that. And if any side is not happy with it, they should really talk it out. :) Thanks for your pops! :)

Edward:
Thank you!

3POINT8:
Haha, you know how to think very well too..and you'll be another lucky guy when you've found yours :)

furydose:
eh..that one was random la..okok, you better choice! *runs from imran*

renaye:
I totally understand what you're trying to say :)asking consent and permission is also good, at least a sign of respect :) that's very good of you! Yala..those misunderstandings and suspicious stuffs are always avoidable..if people could just learn how to ask. :) thanks for your pop!

KAISER:
Woot..we should watch the uncut version lar!!!!

Lisalicious:
Hey Lisa~ yes yes yes!i think many people also stress on trust faithful and respect as well :) nice to see u again..

curryegg:

Thanks everyone! :)

high 5~!

Mel said...

true....don't like it when ppl think that when ur hanging out with someone of the opposite sex, there MUST be somehting SPECIAL going on with the 2.

Whatever happened to just being normal friends who wants to hang and spend sometime together???

When you're in a relationship with someone, you've gotta have trust, respect and faith.

Rambling Mogul said...

Well I have a pretty strong opinion on this, and I agree with you.

Theres no issues with going out with anyone as friends, everyone is just people, as long as you know not to cross the line, and if they come after you, you back away and talk to them...

Unfortunately though, it's hard to find someone with the understanding and trust...this does take time to develop...but after a while, it's all good as long as you both understand with your partner

The problem is when it's just one way, when you're the only one doing it..your partner can feel down and not tell you, and it creates problems..

Nonetheless, you and your boyfriend are very lucky to have that understanding.
