It’s a pretty straightforward question, wouldn’t you agree?

We’ve heard this question asked quite a number of times in our lifetime. Some may have readily chosen an answer and others are still quite hesitant to make that decision.

Personally, I’d choose the person whom I love and be with him. If he chooses to be with me then there’s a hope that he also made his choice to be with the person he loves, hence, both of us ending up with partners we love and who in return loves us back.

I have to admit that this won’t be true all the time, however, I hang on to the hope that love brings.

Your turn.

Who would you choose?

Tackling a Perennial Question, Who would You Choose?

I do wonder about it, though.

I’m not one of them, you see. I was never the daddy’s girl. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have established a workable relationship with him. That’s why I can only speculate on how these women have turned out.

• Do you look for the same qualities that your father has in your partner?
• Do you find yourself drawn to men who remind you of what you have with your dad or simply just reminds you of the man?
• Is this an important consideration in choosing who you date?

Like what I read in this article about a girl named, Alyse, who married a long time acquaintance, Joe, soon after she lost her own father. I got the impression that she’s pretty close to her dad and I did find out that she admires her father’s life ethics and athleticism. Something she found that she had in common with the guy she married.

One thing that struck me the most was when it was mentioned that the feel of the guy’s hand reminded her of her father’s — it was a man’s hand, she said. I guess, the reason why it was highlighted was because it was a contributing factor to her deciding to be with the guy despite her current stand then to forego serious relationships due to her father’s death.

I’m a bit baffled. Though I know that there were other reasons for the match, the thought that something as small and, somewhat, trivial as this can trigger such a drastic decision remains a mystery to me. What could have possibly gone through her mind?

If you have thoughts about the matter, I’d appreciate some. I sure need some sort of reason behind this thingie that seems so foreign to me. Hahaha.

Dating For A Daddy’s Girl

“Here I am, ending my employment, packing house, and moving halfway around the world with my cats, no less, to marry a man from a different culture, different race, different religion, I’d known him online for less than two months, and I’d never met him in person.” — Laurie

You’ll always remember that time when you first see him or her, when you first kissed, and of course the day you say, “I do.”

What if I tell you that Laurie had experienced that in a span of one day? Well, she did. I’m NOT kidding.

My first thought was — she must’ve been insane to do such a thing as marrying a guy 8 hours after she met him the first time. Unbelievable!

However, after giving it a more careful thought, I realised that she took the risk that most of us are too terrified of taking. It reminded me of this theory I have — that the thing that scares us the most is the very thing that will help us define ourselves and our life.

So, yea. It’s a real incredible thing for Laurie and Fahim to find a love online and a happy ending, too!

I’m inviting you to read how Laurie journeyed half-way around the world to find Love. And I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Where to look for love

Now I’d like us to think about the question: what will push you to take a chance on someone?

Based on personal experience, I’ve noticed how I tend to look at the past, mine in particular [of course], most of the time and fail to look at the “future”. So, when found in a situation wherein I need to make a decision about taking a risk, I fail to see the possibility of it actually working out because I tend to look at the signs, which may indicate that it will not. How negative of me, right? Well, it’s just me being afraid of getting hurt, of getting left out in the cold again. I stubbornly try to control a very volatile situation. Call me crazy. Heh.

It’s not the first time I’ve thought about this matter. The first time was actually during a period in my life that asked me to take a huge chance on someone. And I can’t forget this line from the Audrey Hepburn movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

“You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it`s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.” — Paul, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

He had told me “never fear taking chances” and I kept it in mind eversince. It may not have worked out in the end but I’ve learned something invaluable and for that I’m grateful.

My answer to the question I posted is — when I realise that I can trust the guy, it’ll will convince me to take that chance. Then it’s free fall, baby! Hahaha.

What about you?
