A Singaporean boy recently took to Facebook to state on how a pretty girl confessed her feelings to him but rejected her advances as he was attached. The girl then commented on how someone like him would like his current girlfriend who was so plain looking. The boy then explains on how the girl sacrifices her time and effort to take care of him in many ways.
Here is the full story.
Today, my colleague confessed to me that she likes me. Together with three other colleagues, we had dinner at one of our colleagues’ house. After dinner, the five of us had some wine and chatted for hours. I then offered to send her home because she was slightly drunk and other colleagues stay too far away from her.
During the taxi ride to her house, she started laughing uncontrollably and then sobbing. She then suddenly confessed her feelings for me. I was taken aback but I tried to remain calm and explain to her that I have a girlfriend. She said she knows I have a girlfriend and she has seen her photo on my social media. She then asked me what I saw in my girlfriend and why I would want to date such a plain-looking girl. I felt really offended but decided to just ignore her. Admittedly, she is considered pretty as she does have a few admirers at our workplace. She’s also quite nice and helpful. But today, I feel disgusted by her for insulting my girlfriend.
Just a few days ago during lunch, I was chatting with another colleague and she was telling me how envious she was of my girlfriend for having such a good boyfriend like me. She was complaining to me about how stingy her boyfriend was because he rarely treats her to a meal. In contrast, I would often take my girlfriend to some nice restaurant. But honestly I never saw myself as a good boyfriend.
Even during gatherings with my girlfriend’s family, her mom and older sister were always saying how my girlfriend is so lucky to have found a great boyfriend. I feel flattered and happy to hear such words but I still think I’m just an ordinary guy.
The people around me always thought that my girlfriend is the lucky one to have found a boyfriend like me but honestly, I think I’m the lucky one. I met my girlfriend when I was in NS. She was a fresh poly grad, working in a big firm. During BMT, she would travel from Jurong West to Pasir Ris with me whenever I have to book in, and then travel back to her house in Choa Chu Kang. She would always offer to treat me to a nice meal at restaurants because I once complained about the food in camp. When I was in university, she would always accompany me to the library because I wanted to study. No matter how bored and tired she looked, she would just quietly sit there for the whole day while I do my studies. I remember when my second-hand laptop was spoilt, she offered to buy a new one for me. When I graduated and started going for interviews, she accompanied me to every interview and encouraged me whenever I failed my interview. And when I finally found a job, she bought me all the formal wear and my first ever brief case, which was super expensive. She said this brief case would be more suitable for me than my 4-year-old sling bag that I bought from Giant.
I remember I once walked past a shop selling expensive watches, I stopped and glanced at the watches, saying how cool those watches were. The following month, she surprised me with the watch I liked, which then became the second watch in my life, the first one being my Casio digital Army watch. Every morning, she would travel to the CBD with me just to spend more time with me and then travel to her workplace in Queenstown. And every evening, she would wait for me at the cafe below my office while I OT until 9pm.
She works in a big firm but she doesn’t earn much. Probably an average poly grad pay. She never ever buy anything for herself. But she bought so many expensive things for me. She sews her clothes and shoes whenever they are torn. But she would buy clothes and shoes for me whenever mine gets old. I’m not sure why everyone thinks that she’s lucky to have me. I’m damn sure I’m the lucky one and everyday I feel like I’m the luckiest guy in the world. And I don’t care if my colleagues think that she is just a plain-looking girl. In my eyes, she’s the most beautiful girl in the world. People may think that most guys are shallow and only care about looks. Actually, guys just want a girl who would be there for him.-
