10 Reasons Why I Am Still Single

I have been seriously, deeply, madly, truly, passionately and head over heels in love for three times. From the last time I broke up and thus far, I have been single, riding to every corner of the world all by myself, alone without a so-called boyfriend or soul mate or whatever you may call a partner as, by my side. As you would have thought, I am happy with how I am now that not a second I regret for letting my last ex-boyfriend go.

Just so you know, a boyfriend or a girlfriend is like an element of ourselves which the absence of the element would make us seem incomplete – whereby as a matter of fact we are still a human even without the freaking element, duh. I can’t help but to admit the idea mentioned because after being a one-year-old grown-up, it is hard to get rid of being asked by long-lost friends or meet-once-in-awhile relatives or even people standing in near relation, whether you are currently in a relationship or why on earth you are still all by yourself.

For I never spared a time to think abstrusely about why the hell I was and still am single, I used to give annoying-yet-acceptable responses like, “I am too cute to be loved,” “I have had enough,” “Haven’t you heard of love being the slowest form of suicide? I am just too young to die,” and other conceited answers a growing kid could ever give.

I was pompous like that.

I have no idea if the ten reasons I am about to list are acceptable but they are what I think that make me unfavorable, dislikeable or unlovable. I am not a guy. How would I know what guys think of me, right? Just take them as thoughtful ideas, okay?

Here we go the top-ten reasons why I am still single.

10. If I went to Mc Donald with a boyfriend of mine and he asked me to choose a double-cheese burger or a chicken porridge or a Big Mac burger or Oreo McFlurry, I would choose all.

9. I would rather go from one place to another on our date by public transports instead of letting him drive his car or ride his motorcycle because I was not going to let off his hands. Most of the guys, at least the ones I know, hate using public transports.

8. I myself love riding a motorcycle rather than driving a car, even though I presently do not own any car.

7. If I was in this kind of situation, this is how I would react.

Situation: In a bus for a long journey, a guy sitting next to me was sleeping and without consciousness, he landed his head on my shoulder. When he suddenly woke up and realized that he was sleeping on my shoulder, he shyly apologized. And instead of just smiling and saying “It’s okay,” I would pat my shoulder, signifying my willingness of letting him sleep on shoulder back or if he was completely awake, I would immerse both of us into a deep conversation about current momentous or political issues rather than "kau-dari-mana-dan-berhenti-kat-mana" conversation.

6. I laugh as if I was doing a toothpaste commercial.

5. I do not walk. I march.

4. Even a person I am talking to is standing right in front of me, I speak to the person as if he or she was 10 miles away. It is an irremovable habit.

3. Instead of going for a lovey-dovey movie, I would rather go to a place or for a walk and have a debate session. You-are-my-world or I-miss-you-every-second-even-you-are-right-in-front-of-me conversation is void.

2. I do not entertain gibberish message for I hate texting every matter of minute or conversing via a phone call for hours. I would prefer to meet or make a surprised call for a short time only to let him know that he was the one who occupied every inch of my mind.

Last but not least, the reason why I, Khaleeqa bt Idrus am still single is,
1. I am one of the kind of girls who wear baju kurung to classes and my attitudes and behaviors are contradictory to my appearance.

It’s annoying, I know right?
