Politely Declined
My mom is still on the hunt for finding me a man. Her neighbour friend knew a guy who apparently is SUPER NICE! If you haven't guessed my mom is pretty savage. She told her friend I was fat, to warn this guy (and people wonder why we girls have complexes and body image issues)!
Spec:
Born in Korea, came to Canada when he was 15
Works for Bosch Appliances as a repairman
Lives in North York
Has a younger sister
My mom trying to hook me up with a guy is like throwing wet paper towels to the ceiling and seeing which ones sticks.
Talking to this guy was like pulling teeth. It was sooooo painful. Because of the quarantine, we had no lives or updates to talk about, we also seemed to have nothing in common. Travel is a big part of my life. I asked him if he liked to travel. First he said yes, but then said he hasn't traveled much and that he was waiting for "someone special" to travel with. THAT IS A PET PEEVE OF MINE!!!! If you have only been to Korea and Vancouver, that is NOT traveling! Also, if you really liked something you would find a way to do it. I have traveled on my own before and I plan to do it again. I have a friend who traveled with Contiki, etc.
I told my mom this guy was super boring, but she was hung up on the fact that he was super nice. She kept reminding me, my dad was super quiet, but was a great husband and also kept saying my brother is super quiet and is a great husband to my sister in law. Bottom line is the quiet ones are the good husbands. I told her I don't want to live a boring life, but she said that the right one can bring out the talkative side. That right one was not me in this case. I told my friend D, talking to him is like pulling teeth without the numbing cream, so painful. Another factor was that his English wasn't strong. I can read and write Korean, but it takes me a while to respond. I guess it was the same for his English, plus because his English wasn't strong, I had to keep check what he was saying.
So after a while we just stopped talking to each other. I thought we were just going to ghost each other, but I got a long ass text in KOREAN!
I will translate his goodbyes to me. It was very polite of him. I popped his "blind date" cherry. Unfortunately it didn't go well for either of us.
Hello, It has been a while
Apologies I haven't texted in a month
I don't have experience in this, I am not sure how to end this in case you thought everything was fine. So I am sending you a text even if it's late.
I have been thinking, I believe you will meet someone more suitable than me. There is nothing wrong with you Ms. Suzy, we are not a good match.
Again, I am sorry. I hope you meet someone good. Sorry.
He apologized so many times. I mean it's not his fault that we didn't mesh well. He probably thought I was boring as fuck as well.
What could I say to that? So I just responded with......
For those readers who speak Korean and would like to be introduced to this guy, let me know. He seems to be a good guy, but I had nothing common with him!
