ERIN SERIES - FACEBOOK: RUINING RELATIONSHIPS SINCE 2004


 


I want to share my own experience with you, my dear Erin followers, on this.  Guys and girls, listen up, and please listen carefully.


A GUY SHOULD WANT TO CLAIM YOU AND SHOW YOU OFF TO THE WORLD.


In my last post in December, I mentioned a new character whom I will refer to as “Rebound Guy.”


He’s a Fil-Chi who is financially stable, and has a good career.  He lives in the south in an abode I would describe as “pang-telenovela.”  His family’s house is a huge one, and looks like a Senyorito’s house.  Yeah, well, he is a Senyorito naman talaga.


He’s my Rebound Guy because sinalo niya ako a month after Chinito Guy blocked me from his life.  I am guilty of making Rebound Guy my Chinito Guy Part 2.  Their differences are so glaring that I made a Pro’s and Con’s table


(INSERT TABLE)


In real life, the more feasible choice would be Rebound Guy.  He’s Chinese, studied in a Chinese school, and has better knowledge of Mandarin and Fookien that made me ashamed that I am pure Chinese. #hwanagong


Also, Rebound Guy and I had more real-life interaction.


My friend Achi Gigi asks me why I keep on comparing Chinito Guy and Rebound Guy.  I told her point-blank, “Rebound Guy is not on my Facebook list.  That says a lot on why I can’t trust him.” Achi Gigi retorted, “Chinito Guy was on your Facebook dati, pero he blocked you naman.” (Refer to my “Un-block My Heart” blog post).


On our first date, Rebound Guy told me casually, “Add mo naman ako sa Facebook.”


I told him, “Ikaw mag-add sa akin.  I don’t add people.  They add me.”


The Facebook invitation from him never came.


I won’t beat around the bush here.  If a guy I am dating refuses to add me to Instagram or Facebook, then I’m NOT dating him.  I know it’s a tad extreme.

For me, that really causes mistrust.  I can’t shake the feeling that the guy is hiding something from me. 


I think that I am not the jealous type.  But I see Facebook as a tool of indicating a guy’s like or his love for me. 


I am really not an expert on relationships.  I’ve never had one myself.  But here’s a lowdown of what I think he’s up to (by him, I mean guys and girls who won’t add you in Facebook kahit na gaano pa sila mag-SWEETTALK PALABOK):



  • He wants to look single on Facebook to the world, so he could continuously add girls to hit on, and flirt with

  • He has something to hide. Maybe it’s a “I will wait for you” comment on a real-life female friend that he has. 

  • He is involved with another woman, or other women


 


Caucasian Man-Child was also not in my Facebook list because he is hiding something.  That was a traumatic experience for me talaga.


I would like to reiterate:


A GUY SHOULD WANT TO CLAIM YOU AND SHOW YOU OFF TO THE WORLD.


 


I know, I sound so extreme again. Sorry naman!


I’m too pretty to be hidden.  Cue in “hair flip.”
