“From Courtship to In a Relationship”

GITARA

By: Parokya ni Edgar

       Isn't very flattering when someone tries to court you? You feel so beautiful. You feel so confident. You feel so loved. I may be biased here because I am a “SHE”, a girl perhaps. I am going to talk here in front of you based from my experiences. Yes, I have been courted. Yes, I had a boyfriend. And Yes, I got heartbroken. But, I tried to stand up again, so I here I am now, I am completely fixed. I had all these experiences in my life and more, I have many boy-friends, I know some girls who have their own boyfriend, I too, I also have mine, and as what I can see and observed. Boys are great pretenders.

            There is really a huge difference between a suitor and a boyfriend in terms of EFFORT. Big word isn’t? From the time they’re courting you, they’re bombarding you with flowers, chocolates, letters, and a whole lot more! But, when you two are already together? – They even forget your daysaries, your monthsaries, your anniversaries, and what’s worst? Even your birthday.  Suitors would always love to carry your bag, even if it’s as pink as your lipstick, or as flowery as the garden. They won’t mind if someone sees them carrying your bag. Sometimes, even though they’re already carrying so many things, they won’t mind, they will still insist to carry yours. How sweet right? But a boyfriend? Based from my own experiences with…they’re common excuse is “Sorry nakalimutan ko.” And I was like, “Hmmm. Okay.” But inside me I am hurt. Girls are very sensitive, so boys shouldn’t be insensitive.  Suitors will always wait for you until the end of your class, it doesn’t matter how late it is, as long as he will be rest assured that you will be safe on your way home. But boyfriends? They will even ask you. “Kaya mo na ‘di ba?” and then we will reply again “Hmmm. Okay.” Even though it is not okay.

Boys, you may say, that Girls are demanding, yah! That’s true. But it’s because of you. In the first place you are the one who showed us how to love and to be loved. If you don’t want us to demand you to carry our bag, accompany us on our way home, or just hold our hands and say “I Love You” then don’t court us. Boys should be consistent from the courting stage until the day she said “yes”.  

I don’t know why I am telling all this, it seems to be I am so bitter, but hey! Don’t you ever judge me I have my own love life. It’s just that I want you, girls to always remember that you have to choose the best and the right one for you. I’ve read a quote on the Internet “Sweet words are not always true. True words are not always sweet. But no matter what words can say. Actions will always tell the truth.” Girls, sometime boys do sugar-coating, so I am telling you in advance BEWARE!

Thank you! :)
