Open Relationships
I'm pretty liberated compared to the average Filipina (considering all the things I have explored...)

In my quest of finding true love though, I am faced with all kinds of men - none of whom are the normal-single-guy-type. And as you know, I am proud to say that I have given up on married guys (!)

Recently, I met this really nice 42-yr old German guy... he's divorced and is now living here in Thailand. He doesn't look too old naman... considering I look 10 years older than my real age. lol. I was talking with him just now when he asked me: "Lara, are you looking for a serious boyfriend?". Shempre pretending to be cool, nagsinungaling ako. "No, I'm not looking for anything". And he said "So if it comes, it comes... right?". I said "I guess so..."

But deep inside me, I wanted to shout out to the world "I want true love! I want a real boyfriend who can be a good husband in the future!!!"

Hay. Pero shempre quiet lang ako about it. Ho-hum.

Ok back to him. He continued "Are you cool if we have an open relationship?"

Hmmmm....

Again, this was me pretending "Well, I told you that I'm not looking for anything. And besides, we're just having a good time here right?"

Then he asked "Is that a yes?"

Well, I'm not posting what my answer was to that question and how we ended the conversation. But one thing is for sure... I am not that liberated after all. My values and ideals are still solid in my heart.

Open relationships are for people who prefer to remain essentially single but participate in more than one relationship - all for the sake of intimacy and sexual satisfaction. They are not looking for a committed relationship. It actually works best for people who have a serious, all-consuming commitment to something other than relationships: their WORK.

So, am I up for this crap? I seem to fit quite well in the description. But darn, I am too good to be playing this game.
