Double my dating?


I am not a person who totally ignore women in my life. However, I always make friends with women but not having relationship. My belief is the most important thing for myself is chasing success. Once upon a time an European Judo champion, Winfred Holtzen, said his goal was flame and glory. I think he and I are same type of people who seek success. But he has normal life and knows how to talk with women. As I've grown up, I found almost all my former classmates had gone through some relationship matters. I am just an exception. I've found it is hard to change myself. Once I am in study mode, I wish I can be the best. And that's why I got myself over stressed in my semester in NUS.

Before I left Singapore in August, I thought this exchange semester would be a real good period to let me change my mind a bit. After I came here, I tried to live differently this time. In the first two weeks, I danced two times with other exchange students in the student's club on campus. I learned how to shake my body in club. I also learned how to cook some simple dishes. One day I called my french friend Franck. He was an exchange in NUS. And he is very good at hooking up with girls. When I told him that I was in Denmark, he said"Man, Denmark is a wonderful place, you should enjoy some blonde girls." I knew that his favorite was blonde hair girl all the time. Actually I am OK with all races, even African.(I don't know why a lot of Chinese think dark skin is ugly.) Then he sent me his secret bible, a book named "Double your dating."

From a mathematical point of view, I would not change after reading this book, because my dating in the past is zero. In math, zero times two is still zero. Anyway, I just started reading the book and thinking how to change myself a bit.

But after all, I found those suggestions from the book and my friend were strange. For example, man need to use gel and perfume in order to attract women. I think using these two things is good to keep a good image, but I'm not sure whether it works for attraction. One advice from my friend is I need to wear Italian shoes, but I think those kinds of shoes are expensive for me. I still like Converse and CAT, since their shoes last longer. I also don't like hip-pop style which usually requires white basketball shoes, because I don't play basketball.

I think it is hard to change myself, isn't it. After having a training with world champion in Holland, my will of working hard towards success is even stronger than last time. Maybe that's the human nature that everyone has their own path. Yes, I do share some value with Mr Winfred. Anyhow, we are not 100% same.

I don't think you should feel pressured by the people around you dating. The truth is so many rush into it and get 'burned' in the end. If it is not your thing, take comfort in the fact that some of the brightest minds in the world are unmarried. If you think it's just not necessary but will come later, don't rush it. And it's actually true that you should ensure you're a whole person first before getting into one relationship, or you'd end up unable to live without the other, which is not healthy. You know what I'm talking about. Remember, wise men say only fools rush in!!

I think you are right. I still have a lot of things to do in next two semesters. Each one has his or her own path. I like to be myself. I enjoy nice food. I think I will try that restraint in little India.

My advice on dating is different from Cheesy's. I'd say if you want to date, and you meet a girl you want to ask out, just do it. "The greatest thing we have to fear is fear itself." In dating, people are often afraid of being turned down. But if you don't try, if you don't ask that special girl (or guy) out, you'll never know what will happen.

Yep---each one has his or her own path: but we forge our paths, don't we?
