Looking For a Boyfriend

Hello, Dear Reader,

I feel so lonely these days and the reason is "Unhappy" Valentine’s Day. 

All couples celebrate it, buy something special for beloved ones, go to the restaurants enjoying the romantic atmosphere.

I can see hearts, teddies, and “love” everywhere… 

But nothing deals with me… 

From despair, I started to use a dating application called Hinge. My cousin told me there are a lot of handsome Asian guys on this APP.

Tony, my classmate, said that girls have more advantages of using these APPs. We click “NO” until we find someone REALLY attractive, meanwhile, guys constantly press “YES/MATCH” to catch more girls.

I am very picky. And of course, I look at the photo first. 
If I don’t like the picture I press “NO” immediately.

Two things I hated the most:

Sometimes guys post photos with other girls, and I wonder if they are their sisters or girlfriends. 

Why guys do that???

Sometimes they post photos with friends. It is okay if you have a couple photos like this but when all of the pictures are with a bunch of people I have to guess who IS the guy. 

So frustrating.


Candidate 1: boyFRIEND

One day I came across one Korean guy on Hinge. 
He had only two photos and one phrase.

But he looked pretty good and was from Columbia University.

We started to chat, and I even asked him for his Instagram, but there were only photos of food and landscapes.

Then he wrote to me if I really want to see how he looks like, I should meet with him. 
I was very curious, so I agreed.

We met at the coffee shop.
I wasn’t nervous and didn’t feel any butterflies in my stomach. 
Maybe he wasn’t the right guy, but he was cute and polite.

I think I’ll probably be friends with him.

He asked me for dinner next weekend, and I agreed to give him a second chance to know each other better.

Candidate 2: Busy guy
Next week I was working in the office. And the guy from my university came to meet his advisor. 

It wasn’t the love from the first sight, but his smile was sooo sweet. I couldn't stand it. 

We talked for a while, and then he left. 
I found him on LinkedIn and asked for his WeChat. 

I worry that maybe I was too initiative I don’t even know whether he has a girlfriend. 

I invited him for a coffee under the pretext of that I want to practice Korean and he agreed but said that he is too busy right now and can meet next week or the week after. 

Is it a good sign? 

We haven’t talked since then.

Candidate 3: Sportsman

Yesterday I went to the gym, and I met another guy. 
We were using the same equipment. 
He smiled at me and made some jokes I smiled back but didn’t say anything. 
When I was leaving, I met him again on the street. 
He kept his eyes on me for a second as if he wanted to say something, but I just left. 
I don’t know his name but try to find him. 

Maybe it is a strong motivation to go to the gym more frequently.

At the end of the day, I have two guys I am thinking about and the third one asking me for dinner. 
But still, no one to celebrate Valentine’s Day with.

P.S. Guys, don't be shy and talk to girls more. Be more initiative! 

And be a gentleman. We love it!
