I lovehate boys.
5 Jan
That I’m a little bit boy-crazy (I blame my hormones) is no big secret.
Or is it?
In my head, and sometimes on my blog, I am a little Lady Gaga over boys.
But in real life, I am a stoic mask of indifference. Sort of. I’ve learned to wear my heart on my chest and not on my sleeve. I take love too seriously and am excruciatingly picky when it comes to finding a mate. It’s my own brand of cowardice.
Nonetheless, I will be the first to admit that I cannot live without boys. Because I hate love them.
- I
hatelove how they offer you items of clothing to warm you up, and hold your extra items of clothing to cool you off. - I
hatelove how they anticipate these needs, like when I was getting in the car the other day, and the boy in the passenger seat gave me his gloves because I didn’t have any and the steering wheel was freezing. - I
hatelove the incessant teasing, like how every boy I have ever dated teased me because they found my irritation endlessly amusing. - I
hatelove how they pretend not to like the girly stuff you rope them into, but secretly they don’t mind that much. - I
hatelove how embarrassed they get when their friends make fun of them for being “whipped.” But they don’t deny it, because it’s true. - I
hatelove how they fret about your safety, as if you’d be in danger just because they’re not around. Like when my ex-boyfriend used to tsk at my stories of walking around The City alone at night, and making me promise to be careful. - I
hatelove how, when ordering in a restaurant, they let you decide what you want first. And if you can’t make up your mind between two things, they’ll offer to order whichever one you don’t order, so that you get to try both. - I
hatelove the way it feels when a boy wants you to be his.
I hate love that I love boys.
I hate and love them as well for these reasons and many more.
I gotta say I LOVE THIS POST SO MUCH.
It’s kinda sad that I think I’m just as boy-crazy but can never (and might never) show it in real life. I want to bring it to life, actually.
As much as you hate some things… you’ll always make an exception :P
We, boys, want to know that girls really do love us because of our actions. It’s so flattering on our side to know that with these little “habits” that we do, we are making the girls fall from us more..
I love that you said you’re lady gaga for boys – hilarious!!!! I agree with 100% of these things
-nods- I agree. When I wanted to be single and happy and just have fun, I was usually sad and miserable instead. What a predictable, depressingly lonely sod I am. I’d think about all the nice things a guy does. :3
To add to your list, my boyfriend adamantly refuses to let me drink, even if just a little. He REFUSES. Because of two separate incidents XD
What? He refuses to LET you drink? I don’t think I could stand for that. I mean, I could stand for coaxing… and reasoning… and I might even agree with the reasons. But then it would be me not letting myself drink, vs him not letting me drink. Besides, you’re still young, you should be allowed a little recklessness, especially when there’s someone there to make sure things don’t get out of control!
“I’ve learned to wear my heart on my chest and not on my sleeve.” – I should register this on my mind.
I half hate half love boys when they make me fall so much to the extend that I could not get them out of my system anymore.
I SO LOVE YOUR BLOG. You’ve just gained another fan. :) Take care :)
Aww, that post is so cute. I actually can’t relate much as of now because I haven’t experienced some of those things (I attended a co-ed school before but I was young then, so… no. lol). I do agree with the safety thing though. My guy friends would always tell me to look out for myself. They always check how I’m doing and all that stuff, it’s so cool to have them as friends.
Oh man. I am the same way. I love-hate boys too. Mostly I hate it when they don’t cooperate, but I love them anyway. Jerks.
awww yeah I totally agree on everything! sometimes we get irritated at them and hate them, like, if they get mad at us for something we’ve done and make a big deal out of it, but deep down, we feel that they totally care for us. =)
i love how they treat you like their baby but still make you feel like a woman… aaaawww!!!
and i love this post! really.. i can totally relate…
“I take love too seriously and am excruciatingly picky when it comes to finding a mate. It’s my own brand of cowardice.” —> i would have to agree on this 110%
i am such a coward who tries so hard to look brave…
and i also agree with Danette’s statement “When I wanted to be single and happy and just have fun, I was usually sad and miserable instead.”
you have no idea!!! when i’m single, i say that i’m fine! i say i’m having more fun anyway because nobody’s nagging me 24/7 when the truth is, i just want someone to fight with for no reason at all… i know, i’m so cheesy… but what the hell, everyone feels that way, we just don’t say it out loud…
Thanks for visiting my blog and no those models weren’t size 4 but I’ve seen “plus-sized” models that looked to be about a size 4.
I really liked this entry. I read it before about 2days ago and everything in the first paragraph about your attitude and the way you act towards guys sounds just like me.
Happy blogging,

TRUEEEE :) omg there are lots of times I cursed men but then if I meet anyone actually sweet enough, I actually gush and hated it. Especially when they wanna understand the super girly stuff we do and don’t complain so much when we drag them for chick flicks, for example. Or bring us bubblegum flavored frozen yogurt with mochis on it, even when they don’t understand why we like it/
*gush
Or when they accompany us to MAC and are embarrassed at first, and then watch, fascinated, while we get makeovers and ask the salesgirl semi-intelligent questions. Haha.
awesome post! haha. i lovehate boys too. i’ll be back to comment (and read) properly when i’m not at work.. heh
lady, i’m a little boy crazy myself. i wish i could tell you that it gets better with age but i haven’t gotten to that point yet. what can i say? i love hate them too.
God! This post is amazing good! I like this post very much!!
In the cold winter, this post makes me feel warm and sweet.
I heart this post and love/hate lots of things boys do…sigh. thanks for stopping by my blog, can’t wait to read more of what you’ve got!
Hey darling. I can really relate. My new post was kinda like this (read if you have time). I really love your post. Makes me realize how boys are important but most of them are bullshits, nowadays. HAHA.
If this post has a “like” button, I will like this infinitely. I can’t say anything more but this post is so true, so good, and awesome. :)
“I hate love how they pretend not to like the girly stuff you rope them into, but secretly they don’t mind that much.”
Spot on girl…..Reminds me of the time when I had to watch episode after episode of the show “Full House” just because a girl I was interested in made me do it for her. I didn’t mind it though, for once I could shamelessly check her out without the embarrassment of getting caught.
