Note: In case you are wondering, my wedding dinner date ain't gay
:P
FM and I were talking about the angst of getting the perfect wedding date - which was how my
previous post came to be.
"I went to this wedding with a mutual friend of the groom's and everyone who saw us there thought that she was my girlfriend. I kept getting winks from all quarters that night!" he said.
Yeah, that's a very natural train of thought. The good thing about going to dinners where you don't really know everyone is that no one will bother speculating if your date is your actual life partner or not.
Or whether that girl who's tagging along with me is actually having 'relations of the other kind' with me. In this day and age, people can speculate whatever they want and there's very little that a person can do about it.
It's like a no-win situation. Bring a boy and people will think there's romance in the air. Bring a girl and people might give you meaningful looks. So what's a girl to do? What was the conclusion that FM and I came up with?
The perfect date to bring to such dinners is a gay guy friend. That way, even the most keipoh (busybody) aunty would not be able to concoct juicy gossip materials of it.
