From relationships to hookups: what have I been thinking?
From the perspective of the outsiders, I am a playboy who only enjoys one night hookup, never into relationships. Some people who have been there might know that every playboy once must have been into at least one serious relationship. They left with a broken heart and decided to never engage in one ever, until they find another person whom they think is different from every body else and then being hurt again, only to find they are just exactly the same as everybody. This is like the same-old cliché and excuse for many merrymakers when they want to hit on some pretty girls. They might be liar, but the experience is true. Deemed as a victim of relationships myself, I would like to share with you my experience on relationships. It was like a curse on me that my relationship will never end well.
My first relationship was also my first love. She was my high school classmate. It was love at first sight, which I didn’t believe earlier until I met her. She was pretty and quiet. The top student in my class. In the name of studying, I invited her to spend lots of time with me. After a few months, we were together. It was the most delightful time of my high school year until I found her cheating on me with my best friend. Dramatic, right? Just like that in the TV. I lost both my girlfriend and my best friend, plus with a broken heart.
After that, I had been single for over a year. It was in my college when everyone was busy with getting laid and hunting for one night dating, while I was still bare faith in relationships. I found my second girlfriend. She and I were in the same club. It was pretty fast between us. We knew each other for two weeks and we were together. Everything just felt right for both of us and there was no need to wait for any longer. However, half a year later, she told me that she was going abroad for studying purpose and we were both bad at long distance relationships, so we broke up peacefully. About two weeks later, I met her in a theater, holding hands with another man. It turned out she wasn’t going abroad. She was just going away from me.
I decided to quit relationships and only be open to tinder hookups. I found a girl on a best hookup app, which led to my third failed relationships. I swear I was not the one to initiate it. It was agreed to be just one night hookup, but she claimed that she was in deep love with me. I thought maybe this time would be different, because I was the one being loved first, so I might give it a try. However, one month later, she said she thought it was a polyamorous relationship like the one she was in. She never thought I was not that kind of person. I was just glad I found it out before anything went serious.
I quit relationships. This time for real.
