Love Q
April 30, 2008 1:47 pm LoveQWell, I’m doing this for Tot’s Mom and her Love Q section, a lovely blogging friend who just had a wonderful idea of having fun with other moms and dads around the cyberspace. Frankly, I’m not into love and romance kinda thing when it comes to writing, not in THIS blog (or any other blogs) at least, but since this question is not too absurd and moreover just something of the past, I’ll try and answer it like I was 15 or 21. (Oh did I write was??? Sheesh ;))
The Question:
If you are being romantically pursued but you are not interested, what would you do to let the person know? For instance, would you be direct and blunt or would you drop hints?
My Answer:
I am a Malay girl by upbringing; and half Malay by blood (eh, is that the right expression) and most importantly I am a Muslim. I am shy (well, I was very very shy). But also brave and could be blunt at times. Dropping hints was the nice way to do things then (read years and years ago), and I was good at running away from such trouble too, BUT if the person has the guts to directly pursue his mission, I will have to also be blunt and direct. Well if it’s going to hurt, it should be quick and fast right? Ouch that sounds cruel! But I meant well and anyway, that person in the first place should have known his boundaries (trying to make myself feel better eh? sigh).
Ok, that’s it. I’m done. Phew…Wonder what Martini and Tammy’s answers would be?
hope you’ll be able to write more often after this hehe..

Aiya, sorry that your comment didn’t appear. Actually it was mistakenly caught as spam, that’s why it didn’t appear. I have de-spammed it, and your comment is now there. Anyway, thanks for doing this. You will drop hints first, eh? I think I would as well. Give him so face-lah, so to speak!

Hi Nurin, here I am reading your love Q answer. I think we, ladies, always try to make it clear to the pursuers, so as not to lead them further. Mine is up too, Nurin. Care to read?

Haha.. ya, I think most girls would act a little harsh and sounded cruel when rejecting love interest. It’s anything better than lying about it isn’t it?
