Time Is Precious, My Friend

When it comes to boyfriend types, I think my type is totally ordinary. Kind-heart man, good looking (although it's relative for every person), and most of all know keep your words.

When it comes to "Keep your words" part, most of the guy that tried to close to me failed. Were they a liar??? Not that thing. I mean in terms of time. Let's have an example what I mean.

Let's call him Mr. X who wants to know me closer. So we planned to hang out with some friends and he pick me up. He promised to pick me up around 10 AM. I spared 30 minutes in case of traffic etc. But he showed up around 11 AM. Of course he apologized about his tardiness. Fine with me as long as he keep me posted. He promised to do that next time. After a fifth time, I called it quit. He still late without any notification. Before we officially in relationship he always late like that, what's next???

I know it's not fair sometimes, but for me with 30 minutes I can do many things, not wasting my time waiting without any confirmation. Some of the guy I know sometimes didn't say anything and when 15 minutes left to our appointment, they cancelled. While I already waited there with worry, thinking something happen to them because no words they sent to me.

Cruel?? That's how my family raised me. As a person who treasured time when you meet someone. If you promised to meet at 11 AM, try to arrive 30 minutes earlier. You can reserve place earlier and show your appreciation to the person. If you happened to be late, inform your friends that you're late. That's what I did with my friends. If we don't have any "pulsa" left, we sent 1 last SMS that we're late and couldn't reply or phone back. Simple.

I already told them at the beginning that I hate late. Even with my ex, we already fight because of his 2 hours late because he overslept and I couldn't reach his phone. He kept thinking that it's not a big deal. Something that made me explode.

I'm not a materialistic girl. Just a man who can keep his words. But to find a person like that,,, I think it's a long journey for me.
