FIRST LOVE (Part II)

First love is always special to all of us. We all remember our first loves. Aaahhhhh...., for moi, I met Mr. Darcy courtesy of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. I confess that I read the book for the umpteenth times. Anyway, he is special to me since I was thirteen!!!. Devastatingly handsome, mysterious and totally sexy, Mr. Darcy set the bar for all my future boyfriends. What I know for sure is that Mr. Darcy is a female fantasy and that's what he shall remain. Fast forward, I am still looking for my own Mr. Darcy, flesh and blood. Don't get me wrong. I'm not Bridget Jones. I don't need a man to complete me. This is one happy singleton. :p

Contrary to popular opinions, I think we all can have numerous first loves. hehehehe. That's the fun of being alive...we feel the joy, the thrill, the excitement and the rush of firsssttt loooveees. I say, we must enjoy and savour the love train....the good, the bad and the ugly bits. We learn from our 'lurve' experiences. When it comes to love partner, (note to self) must say NO to the following losers;

1. Commitment-phobics. This type definitely has major 'issues with intimacy' and 'commitment'. At first sign, ladies and gents.......,its adieu; au revoir; bye-bye, sayonara loser! Run like hell peope!!!!
   
2. Workaholics. Work is numero uno. They don't have time even for themselves. Very self-absorbed. Selfish!! They are totally so not into you!!!
   
3. Possessive losers. One word: sicko!! Red alert ladies!!
4. Stingy gits!! Avoid at all costs.
5. Don't date your friend even if he fancies you. You must feel the same or its bound to end in tears. Not good!!!
6. They hate your feline friends. Love me, love my cats. hehehehe
   
7. Insensitive and chauvinistic jerks can jump into the nearest infested water full of hungry crocs and sharks!! har!har!har!
8. Needy type!!! They will smother you with love and affection!! It will be death by love. You will be begging for space and distance!!!
   
9. Unfaithful jerks. They are not good enough to wipe your shoes, let alone kiss your lovely feet.
10. Negative personality..... This kind will depress you no end!!! Life is so short...move on!!!
    

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of her right mind must be in want of a decent man. However, to quote Jane Austen, "To you I shall say, as I have often said before, Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last".

FIRST LOVE

First Love....aaahhhh (all together now!!!). What I know for sure is everyone remembers their first love.....those sweet poignant moments!!. Few experiences will ever be as intense and overwhelming as your first crush. aaahhhhh!!!

Lets talk about moi and my first love. Elsewhere in the star system, I can hear shouts of excitement from my nearest and dearest...dying to know the story!!! hehehehehe. I have many sweet, wonderful, exciting encounters with first loves. (huh?!!! I can just imagine the looks on your faces!!! har!har!har!) I will share the good, the bad and the ugly tales of my many first loves!!!

My very first love is Mr. Mark Darcy. Yes, that fictional yet dashing hero of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice!!! What is it about Mr. Darcy that send women including tres moi wild?? He is the epitome of a perfect gent, and a sex machine to all chicks. hehehe. He smoulders with sullen intensity and does so while wearing a frilly white shirt and tight breeches!!!! And, yet no one complains about his fashion sense. So, why Mr. Darcy, you may ask...he is not real!!!! Well,...he is anti-man...he is everything a man is not and therefore women adore him. I have loved Mr. Darcy since I was 13 years old. So, what's the secret of this enduring love?? What's the secret to his lasting appeal?? Mr. Darcy is tall, dark and handsome and, a bonus here, extremely wealthy. He is also seductive, aloof, moody, detached, full of integrity and more than a little 'complicated'. He simply oozes sex appeal. Maybe this is the key to his allure. I simply love Mr. Darcy. Enough said!!! If you know a real Mr. Darcy, give him my number.....

As mentioned, I have numerous first loves. My first feline and furry friend....aaahhhh; my first Gucci handbag...aaahhhh..; my first Prada shoes...aaahhh; my first trip to Venice...aaahhhh; my first ride on a roller coaster...aaahhhh; and the ultimate I fell in love with an old flame because he wrote such romantic letters....aaahhhhh!!!

As a teenager, I had numerous crushes and first loves. I thought I was going to marry gorgeous John Stamos of the Full House fame. Sigh! (He is now in E.R....you can slobber over him nightly on the hallmark channel!!). Teenager huh....major crushes on movie stars or rock stars come with the territory!! They say falling in love as a teenager is more intense than the experience in adulthood. I don't know about that...what do you think??? But its often true that these early relationships usually burn out quickly. Let me share some wonderful quotes about first love....


“The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end”. Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881.

“First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.” George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950.

Finally, the piece de resistance, my first love was this boy who shall be nameless. I thought it was the end of the world when it ended. It was bitter-sweet. The saying is right, first love will burn out quickly. I was very philosophical when it ended though. Just because this relationship was over, it didn't mean that you'll never find love again. We all got over our first loves. Many people will remember how hard it was to get over their first love, but admit that they found greater loves in their lifetime.

STAY TUNED
