Being part of the family means listening well to the seasoned advises and wise words from the more experienced ones. People like me used to be so much in love that we tend to overlook the flaws of our “targets” of affection from the “outside” point of view.
Here are some samples of what it was like to hear how “honesty is the best policy”. To this date, I did NOT regret dumping, err, rather not contacting these unlikely suitors ever again.
- “Why are you dating Erik! He is so UGLY!” Said a gorgeous Mexicano.
- “John is no good because he is scared to come over to meet us.” Said my bio-units.
- “Martin is nice but we bet he has a wife and child! Does he have a green card?” Said my bio-units.
- “Bill smells like alcohol! Are his jaws wired shut? Because we couldn’t understand him!” Said my bio-units.
- “Landy talks too much! Don’t bring that guy here anymore! Because he ate all our spare ribs!” Said my bio-units.

As you may well figure from my dates, it would seem that it’s too late for me to learn from my past. However, it is never too late for me to keep on looking for the right person in my life.
“Both of them are stupid for getting married without inviting our relatives and for buying a house together without money.” Maw told Ruby, the twit’s eldest sister the day after Christmas last year.
Besides being stupid, they were desparate to move on with their lives and to find love. She was a refugee desperate to keep HIS job as a manager. He was a VERY dog desperate to leave his parents’ house.
“Where are the good chicks?” Asked the boy.
Maw knew (from her intuitive heart) that the boy was a hopeless case in looking for love. He doesn’t know how to “court the RIGHT woman” and married someone who is still childless; doesn’t adapt well with Westernized culture and doesn’t get along with her in-laws.
Unfortunately for the boy, he is doomed to a marriage that has NOT connected well from the beginning they met. They continue to fight and bicker to this day.
So for any dude/chick or bro/sis, don’t “jump into bed” with just anyone. Find out more what others have to say and FOLLOW through with their opinions. You will feel how much more easily the relationship goes when you have both their confidence that you’ve made the RIGHT decision and their blessings of your friends, families, in-laws, relatives and strangers.
Good luck, chumps!
