Mr. Right?

This is a re-post from my old blog.

He is tall, fair-complexioned, handsome, athletic, smart and multi-talented. He is one 'HOT' guy. He is among the most popular basketball players in school, consistent winner of various Quiz Shows and recipient of various awards including the prestigious Leadership Award. We met in the university when we were 20 years old.

From a distance, he seems to be SO charmingly MAGNETIC. With his neat, regularly shaven face graced with thick, curly lashes, perfectly sculptured nose above full lips, he is simply gorgeous.

When a girl sees a guy like that, the first question that pops her head is 'Does he have a girlfriend?' If the answer is 'no' well, then, that would be great, it means she has a chance with him. But if the answer is 'yes' well, the girl thinks 'who cares, all is fair in love and war.'

In this particular case, he didn't have a girlfriend. I was curious. I befriended the guy which was not at all difficult for a straightforward, uninhibited girl like myself. I found out in no time why he didn't have any girlfriend. In fact, he never had one, yet. He was the MOST BORING person I have ever met in my entire life.

For one, he didn't seem to know how to start a conversation, so I have to do that. I did the asking and he simply did the answering. If I didn't ask, he wouldn't answer. Then we wouldn't talk at all. Second, when I asked, his answers were very short as if he was thinking that I didn't need any elaboration. Third, his answers were too technical as if he was actually reporting in class and not talking to a real live girl.

That's when I realized that 'LOOKS' isn't all that matters. As I walked home that day, I was somehow satisfied with what I did for three reasons. First, I was able to talk with the popular 'heart throb', second, I found out why he didn't have any girlfriend and finally, I found out that physical appearance doesn't matter much when it comes to having a relationship. Yes, it does, but not THAT MUCH..
