ADVICE: Big girls do try
Dear Tita Witty,
I am just a typical girl next door. Nothing special. Nothing serious. Bahay and office. Ganyan po ang life ko Tita Witty. All of a sudden isang officemate ko ang umeksena sa normal kong buhay. He texted me about sa feelings po niya sa akin. Naloka po ako. Hindi ko po nais durugin ang kanyang puso, pero ayaw ko naman po maging paasa. Ano po ang dapat kong gawin. Tita Witty, nawa'y matulungan ninyo po ako.
Nagmamahal,
Rapunzel
Dear Rapunzel,
Bakit naman ayaw mo agad? Bakit kailangang may madurog? Bakit hindi mo tingnan kung posibleng may mabuo? Bakit ayaw mong bigyan ng chance ang buhay mo na maging special, o maging serious? Isa lang ang naiisip kong dahilan. Hindi siya pogi para sa ‘yo. Dahil kapag pogi, kahit ‘yung mga hindi handang magmahal muli, nadadaig ang Girl Scout sa pagiging handa.
I think you should give it a try. Say yes if he asks you out. What’s the worst thing that can happen? May ma-miss kang episode ng teleserye? Okay lang ‘yun, makikita mo rin ‘yun the next day sa “Ang Nakaraan”. You might actually have a good time if it leads to an interesting conversation. You might surprise yourself. Or even your house, kasi biglang late ka umuwi, may slow clap pa pagdating mo. Even if the date goes awful, hindi ‘yun sayang. At least you tried, para wala kang what-ifs sa future. Now if you really don’t find yourself being attracted to him, just tell him gently that you don’t feel the same way and you’re sorry. I’m pretty sure he can take it as an adult. Good luck sa awkwardness sa office!
XOXO,
Tita Witty
