Recently, my boss has been looking for new staff for the Marketing Department. As she was going through the applicant’s resume and letters, she came across a Chinese man’s resume. After seeing this she abruptly asked me my age. I replied saying I was of the right age to be called “old enough”. But to my surprise she told me the Chinese man was 27 years old, and maybe I could “consider” him…what ever that means? consider? Consider what?And it gets better…So, there I was at pretending to be work whilst waiting for the clock to tick to 17:30, then my boss starts telling me the life story of this man I know nothing about only that he was;
a) Chinese
b) Male
3) 27 years old
My boss suddenly got the impression that me and this chinese-27yrold-man could get it on, because I was “old enough” and the man was in the right age old as I am. So, I just started going along with her, knowing that this is how STUPID people work and think. I queried further information regarding the chinese-27yrold-man.
Apparently, this chinese-27yrold-man has been jobless for several months now, and for the past year he has been in-and-out of work. And right there I need not know more. Sure! The guesture was sweet, my boss setting me up with an unknown-jobless-bloke. LOL
After this conversation with my boss, I was not sure how to react to this. I mean for one why would your boss set you up with a random guy who is looking for a job in the company. This is not a dating company btw. Besides, I do not want to randomly meet men.
Just so happens my lady boss is sad and frustrated that at my “old enough” age, I am not dating and I have been single for many many many many many months!!! Well, you can imagine her distress.
I on the other hand, not bothered at all. Its my choice to be single. As I already know from the past relationship are really not my thing. And I have realised that relationships do not like me either. Funny part is every Monday morning she asks me about my weekend and each time my reply would be “I stayed home. Watched movies.” Then she would ask if I did not go out on a date…Of course NOT, even if I did see someone over the weekend for a “sleep-in”. Each time she hears this she gives a very high and heavy sigh…sigh…
What really bothered me about the conversation with my lady boss is that, how could she think I would consider just any man regardless of his current situation? God knows this man is probably married and has children or what have you. And this is the nasty part from my side…forgive me…I will not date a man who is not stable. To be frank I am going through a lot right now and starting a relationship with someone who needs to understand my situation and will adapt to my wants and needs are a big NO NO NO at this current time, and especially if he does not have the capability to live in my standard of living
All in all, I cannot be forced to start seeing someone that does not qualify my standards. It not about how handsome or sexy the person or how rich he is. Its really about how much money he makes
LOL kiddin’! To be reasonable just a stable-good-hearted-fun-loving-simple-patient guy. Does he exist? Could it be you? <3
