why i dont believe in 'ligaw' and 'dating'

ligaw is so superficial and pretentious. guys will almost always put their best foot forward... be the perfect gentleman, be such a caring friend, be the funny and intelligent guy, be the girls ideal man. the girl on the other hand puts on a similar show! best clothes, well groomed everything, perfect smile and pleasing personality to match.

and they say the dating and/or ligaw stage is when 2 persons get to know each other... i hardly think thats 'getting to know' anyone. how can you get to know someone if he/she puts on a show? ok, fine.. you DO get to know someone to a certain extent since you know how good he/she can get... haha. so, kung liligawan ka ng isang lalaki, darling, keep in mind that's as good as he gets! hahahaha.

im all for the show me who you REALLY are.. lets hang out with your friends, lets hang out with my friends... lets talk about your insecurities and my quirks... lets get down to the dirty stuff about you... para malinaw from the beginning. di ba? i mean why do i have to pretend im an 'angel' (too bad that's my name di ba?) when i really do have my biatch moments?! im not going to go and pretend im miss-goodie-two-shoes. ill be who i am --- contradictions, mood swings and all.

i think ive found the reason why im still single. hahahaha.

dont get me wrong, and i may sound like im going to contradict myself, but im not.. this is all clear in my head.

im a hopless romantic... i dream of being swept off my feet by this great guy who will treat me the way i deserve to be treated (and no complications!)... i get kilig when i get thoughtful messages and pleasant surprises... i pray each year i get something on valentine's day... i cry and get envious at the leading ladies in romance stories... all that mushy mumbo-jumbo... hey, im a girl! but i like keeping it real and sincere. yun lang. simple and straighforward. pero sincere.

three less suckers in the world. haha.

the 'ligaw' concept is so passe.

nakaka-inis pa yung they pretend to be interested in EVERYTHING you say. haha. so if i talk about cross stitch, he'd probably take it up (or pretend he will!) SUCKERS! haha.

that's why i love 'how to lose a guy in 10 days'.

ligaw is an overrated concept. can't agree with you more here, man... it's all a big show. it's all about friendship man... and if you like each other, why bother engaging in this stupid dating ritual? be friends, and then decide if you'll get together! haha! :D spoken like a true IS girl ba? :p i really, really don't believe in ligaw and i'm wary of guys who do! haha!
