Shut up and put your money where your mouth is!!!

Or more importantly WALK the WALK!

Saturday mornings, more often than not, a friend and I get together at our local Starbucks (it's right next door and they let us wear trackies, ugg boots and look generally like we have just woken up...which we have!),and have a big catch up.  As all girl talks do, it came around to the subject of the other half of the population...animals....oops...I mean men! (Bad joke!).  This week I have had some lovely messages posted about my blog (or notes for those who read it on Facebook), and private messages sent, so our conversation turned to that.

Of course they are from some of my lovely boy friends.  I have been really blessed to have some truly great guy friends and especially guy friends that will always be there for me even now that I (or them) live so far away.  What more could a girl want? Not much really...and I really love them all to death!

I received 2 messages this week that I was really touched by.  They were really sweet and after the debacle of the last few weeks of my life, they meant heaps, so first and foremost thank you so much.  

Now brace yourself......

While discussing these lovely messages my friend bought it to my attention that really, they kind of meant nothing.

This got me thinking, the discussion then thickened and went deeper.

The messages both referred to the fact that I should come home for interested RSB/'s and that if I was in this other place then one would 'LOVE to take me out!'

My friend was like 'Come on! The argument being basically, yeah, it's easy for them to say these things when they know they are far away and the prospects of them actually doing these things or really being interested when it really comes down to it are pretty slim to none.

When I thought about it I had to agree and as the conversation went on, I soon realised that I had almost convinced myself that if I went back home then it would be easier to meet someone or have a good time dating .  Theory - it's a lot easier to meet someone in your natural environment.

*Long annoying beep* WRONG!!!  Asia is one of the worst places to live in terms of 'meeting people' or 'dating'.  Body types are all petite slim and unshapely, fantasies are lived out and men are fawned over, however life is not mostly about meeting someone.  For everyone it is different.  For me it's about feeling secure in who I am and having fun along the way striving to be the best person I can be!  

I really don't think that I can do that in NZ at the moment.  I am doing well in my career, clearing up my financials faster, living the 'high life' (thanks Dad - that's another story) and experiencing new things on a weekly, if not daily basis.

Going back to NZ is defiantly not the answer.

So boys, if you really mean what you say, you know where I am, if you want it come and get, walk the talk and all those cliches!

In the meantime I am staying put and looking forward to the next Starbies analysing session.

A word to the wise - Put your money where your mouth is - life's more fun that way!

Love RSG! xo
