Before going home from work, my boss started to tell me a stroy of a doctor. I didn t quite get it. I didn t know why she was telling me about this guy. Finally she asked me if I would be interested in going to meet this guy. I said, "O.K., but girls like us won t like Traditional Taiwanese guys." She, on the other hand, does not go on arranged dates her mom is trying to set up for her. I have never gone on any arrange dates. I was totally aganist the idea of arranged dates or marriage when I was young. I vaguely remember my bro s classmates in Medical school wanted to meet me after a rumor saying I look like a Japanese star, but I hid myself from them. Once, I went to see a movie with my bro and one of his classmates. But this guy couldn t take his eyes off me. I was around 17 at that time and I was very extremely shy. By looking at me, he was making me feel uncomfortable. I didn t even look at him.
For a long time, I suffered from shyness. I hated that my aunt asked me to borrow a cup of sugar or some ice cubes from neighbors. Even now, when I go to meet netpals, I am always nervious. I feel a strong urge to have a drink to calm myself down. Of course, I don t do that. Not a good idea showing up drunk in front of my so called "familiar strangers".
