Shopping and Relationship

One of the random conversations I had recently was about how relationships are just like shopping.

Sometimes, when all you want is a pair of shoes, say a pair of black boots, but you end up buying something else that is really, really different. Like a dress.

Just like men. You end up getting someone you didn't set off on a lookout for.

Or it could be the right item. Except that the look is for the wrong occasion. Like you need a pretty black dress, and you find one, but it looks a little too fun for the ball you are attending.

Just like men. When you are on the lookout for someone serious, someone who is out to have some fun comes along.

And when you are out for a shopping trip, even with a target, like the pair of black boots, or the pretty black dress we mentioned earlier, you'd comb through the entire department store, or worse, the entire shopping centre, or worst, the entire Orchard Road before you are convinced that the very first one you set your eyes on is the most value for money and worth buying. What's worse, sekali when you go back to that store, the item is gone!

Also, we what looks good on the hanger, or the mannequin, may look better on the hanger, or the mannequin. Or another girl. Not everything is suitable for everyone. You need to choose something that will flatter your assets, and hide your flaws. And the same thing goes, something that may look blah on the hanger may be full of potential.

I can go on and on. But I shall stop. Alas! Finally, I can relate 2 things that I go weak all over together!

Not that it is the most pleasant relationship.
