i hate dating reality shows

i hate it when people proclaim oh-how-i-love-thee cos when i smooch/hug/pet u it feels oh-so-right. it feels so good to be with you. we have so much chemistry. i can feel it. i've never felt this way towards someone else before. i can so see u as my future wife/husband/maid/slave.

(just like those stoopid dating reality shows aka the Bachelor. wat, u mean u finally know who's the right one for u onli after getting intimate with evry other girl? like, this one's gonna be the best fuck? wat are u, a food tester?!)

Love is just a feeling... NOT.

feelings are deceptive. how many times must we make the mistake of trusting our volatile emotions before we realise that Love is far too strong a word to be used on the frivolty we indulge in.

let's go steady. how many kids do u want? let's think of their names! ooh wat kind of wedding would u like? u're my dream come true...!

saying stuff that speaks of emotional strongholds and false promises of a future is naive and irresponsible, especially when we don have marriage or commitment as the end in mind. cos when this relationship doesn't work out, those sweet nothings become totally meaningless. and then it's convenient to recycle them. again and again.

moreover u never know how those careless whispers would come right back at u and bite u on the ass. deranged ex-lovers vandalising ur car. splashing acid on ur face. slicing off ur tongue. eating up ur dog.

u lied to me, u jerk! i'm gonna kill youuuuu!

sure, it definitely felt nice to listen and say those things at that point in time, but eventually disillusionment sets in after a few failures. so we begin to wonder if the idea of the perfect relationship leading to marriage is nothing more than just a fantasy of the foolish.

okay, time for Plan B. let's try test-and-go. aka Dating.

oops it doesn't feel right. i don like this and that bout him/her. sorry, gotta take flight now. next please!

gee, when will we ever be truly satisfied? oh wait, perhaps we'll never be at all!

i wonder if we're really becoming more 'realistic' bout Love and the shortcomings a committed relationship entails. or rather, we're just setting lower standards for ourselves so things wouldn't be so serious and difficult. Life would be much easier and simpler anyways. innit?

maybe it's time to stop saying how much we lurrrvvee that special someone when wat u really lurrrvveee is the attention and care that u're getting. to love is to give. to commit. to compromise. and to sacrifice. for nothing in return.

if we want something, we gotta work for it. i believe it's the same for Love.
