Whilst the older ones are Ticking Boxes, the younger ones are throwing tantrums!!! It’s a really hard life, isn’t it?
Yes, they’re attractive, full of life and well, give me something more to laugh about and learn but the good fortune of dating a relatively younger guy is, how do I put this for you to understand, requiring me to develop new set of skills if the hope that two will eventually become one will ever come to pass.
As it so happens, I somehow found myself agreeing to a weekend break in Milan on a chilly weekend. The intention of course, was to peruse through the glorious and famous shopping villages and also to hang with well meaning “Milanians” . I of course as well meaning as I usually am, extended the kind gesture to my newly found dating interest to join me and my friends on this trip, for after all, Milan is nothing but new to us both and it would have been fun exploring the City together. Well, :0 at the time that I gladly expressed this friendly delight with my current date interest, it sure didn’t cross my mind that it may actually be be too soon in the game for me to extend such a gesture! I truly wasn’t paying attention to the screaming ‘commitment’ alarm bells that were probably going on in his mind and the whole idea sounded so cool to me at that stage. Thinking back, I am not surprised that he wasn’t too keen on the idea! But then, he took things a bit further – He wanted me to cancel the weekend trip too Lol!! Oh men! Can’t live with them, can’t live without them either. So here comes his display of disapproval – Tantrums!
As I later found out , it turns out that not having his way in the situation was a pretty hard blow for Mr here. Never mind me! And so for the very first time , I got my first bout of tantrums! Urgh! A smooth sailing date night turned out to be a night of pouting and sighing, filled with long silences. Apparently, cancelling a flight and hotel reservation as well as forgoing the opportunity to spend a great time with my local friends, appeared to be the best option available in this instance. I think it’s best to say that Mr wasn’t happy to be in a situation that he, for one, felt hopeless to control. As I am writing to you, I am still not sure what the thinking process behind the tantrum was all about but it sounds to me that I need help in getting this one together.
Someone get me Susan Sarandon’s number please! I would also be grateful for J-Lo’s or Lauren Pope’s if you have them? Will take Madonna’s too
