My Adult Yarn

Among my best friends, I only have one girl friend that is still single up to now. She is already on her late 30s now and she still does not have any boyfriend. On our 20s, we have been trying to pair her to our other boy friends. But it does not work. She does not like to have a relationship with our boy friends other than friendship. So that gives us the idea to look for her pair somewhere else. We have tried to avail of the dating service which was recommended by another friend. At that time, establishing of friendship is still through letters sent through the post office. It is a bit conservative and primitive in those days. She had a few pen-friends referred by the dating service agency. At first she is enthusiastic in writing friendly letters to them. She chooses three guys, Richard from California, Lyndon from Canada, and Jason from Australia. She replies promptly and corresponds accordingly. But later, it is either she was the one who stop replying or the other way around, her friendship with those three foreign guys fade out. We tried to ask her for the reason of those friendship endings. She told us that along their exchange of correspondence she discovered something on Richard’s past that she cannot accept, while an annoying attitude on Lyndon which turns her off, and as for Jason she does not know what happened to him. He simply did not write or reply anymore. After that failed friendships, we usually introduce her to some acquaintances from time to time. She actually got passionate in one of the seaman that she met in one of the conference she attended. She works in our Municipal Planning wherein she often attends seminars out of town. But that was just a brief encounter because when they separate ways after the occasion, there was no follow-up meeting. That makes us to try again to look for a good dating service. This time it is online on the Internet. This technology gives a lot of options to friend-seekers. You can choose the nationality, the age, and even his exact location. You may actually visualize your friend in real-time through web cam. Thus, you may choose easily among those you met on the chat rooms. There are plenty of web sites now that offer dating service. As of now she has no sign of progress on any relationship. Probably it is simply her preference to stay single. She seems happy anyway. It is us who are more eager for her to have a partner. She seems contended with her status now. We will simply have to wait and see.
