quasi-girlfriend



We often heard the word quasi. And technically speaking it refers to being a certain sense or degree. Like we're almost there but not quite, know what I mean? I encountered this word when I met with Judy and Dianne.

Quasi-girlfriend is a status. It is a privilege enjoyed by men. In every situation, we all know that the women are the emotional one. They in fact need a reason to do it with a man whereas men only need a place. It's a hard fact but that's how life is. Personally speaking-- I look @ quasi-girlfriend as a crime. It abuses women-- using her when the guy feels like it. Men are such interesting creatures don't you think? They got the knack of doing a certain thing and absolutely mean another. He would call you up and talk to you for hours -- and it wouldn't mean a thing. He would ask you out and spend time with you -- and it doesn't mean a thing. Doing things that would leave a girl speechless and mouth hanging open. And in the end when confronted about the real status of the relationship-- they would ask themselves "I didn't do anything to lead her on.. Why did she fall for me?" The nerve of the guy to ask himself that question. As if he doesn't know that he did something to lure the girl into his trap. I've said it a couple of times that men tend to see themselves as the conqueror. The master of a conquest. But are they aware that women have the power to conquer men unknowingly? We can be coldhearted too… and we can play their game. A quasi-girlfriend is someone who do all the duties and responsibilities of a GF without commitment. Meaning, anytime if the guy feels like it-- he can drop the bomb and leave. It's unfair that men get to kiss and hug and enjoy intimacy without attaching themselves. It's like--"ok, while I'm looking for Ms. Right to bring home to mother.. Why don't you entertain me!? ". It's unfair that men get to enjoy women's company for no reason other than FUN. It's like having free icing on a free cake. They want everything that comes in a relationship and yet give nothing in return. How blessed men are-- and it amaze me how they can give themselves away so freely.

Maybe the women are also at fault-- but then women are hopeless romantics. They look into things more than they should which lead them to believe in a thing that's not really there. Girls should not assume too much.. And don't just go with the flow either. One way or another you got to be heard. Make your stand. Don't settle to be just a quasi-girlfriend. Be a real one. Your worth is that much. Time will come that the situation will be reversed and then men will get to have a taste of their own medicine. I just hope that men would stop making girls fall in love with them if they don't have the intention of catching them if they fall. It doesn't feel nice to be played for a fool. Disappointment and frustration is painful.

Quasi-girlfriend?? Hehehe! Dream on… It can also be QUASI-GirlBOYFRIEND
