Back to the time when people were only using MSN.
People seem to be more polite, and less superficial.
Or was it because I am younger?
Had lesser contact with the world.
And this thinking the world was purer then?
People always tell me.
People in this case = Parents, classmates, relatives.
That making friends online is so damn dangerous.
You cannot see their face.
You don't know what is their intention.
And people who are out to scam something from you.
Will take their time.
And then they start talking about past news when a guy can spend 6 months talking to a girl.
Just so he can gain her trust, make her like him.
And then get whatever he wants out of her.
Vice versa, when a woman chatted with a lot of guys.
And told her how pitiful she was and asked them to send her money.
But back then, when I was spending like half of my awake time online.
I met a lot of friends.
And these friends, I feel, are genuine.
Who, like me, are out to make friends too.
AuditionSEA, the platform where we met.
And even up till today.
We are still quite close friends.
Like Uncle Tan and I, Precious and I.
We don't talk much anymore.
But I know if I really need someone to talk to.
I can just, talk to them randomly.
They might or might not reply immediately, but I know they are there for me.
And what about people like Pinguo, and Charlotte?
I knew them both from online too.
They stood by me through woes and joys.
:) friends like them, I can't find in reality.
Where people are so blinded by benefits, selfish needs.
And most of the time, people only befriend each other because.
They think that they will gain certain benefits.
From becoming friends with a certain individual.
So nowdays, when talking to people online.
(People randomly adds me on Facebook and Twitter)
On my Jazelle MirthfulGirl.
I look out for certain things.
And from there, I have a gauge on how sincere they are.
--- --- ---
Firstly, introduction.
It's always polite to introduce yourself, when you make new friends.
Most people nowadays introduce themselves this way.
name/age/sex/race
Note that I didn't have any punctuations?
You are right, they can't be bothered to.
One example.
daniel/23/m/ch
I totally can understand.
But am I a robot?
A form?
LOL.
I prefer who can type properly.
Like.
My name is Daniel, 23 years old Chinese.
Short and sweet, but seems more gentlemanly.
Secondly, questions they ask.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with people.
Before they introduce themselves properly.
They start asking question that are so personal you'd think they are stalkers.
Examples:
- Got bf? (They don't bother typing 'boyfriend', bf can mean 'best friend' also...)
- Number? WhatsApp? OR 91234567 WhatsApp me?
- Can meet?
- What you working as? Your pay how much?
- Can we stead?
For (1).
Even my mum don't keep asking me whether I have boyfriend or not.
Who are this monkeys to keep probing.
And what has my relationship status got to do with anyone?

Rush to get number for what?
Everything also rush rush rush.
Can't people understand that it takes time for friendship to be built?
And usually, they give excuses like.
Facebook too lag.
Or Facebook/Twitter very slow.
Or inconvenient.
Kns, lag it your device lousy.
Inconvenient?
LOL you wanna make friends, yet you don't even have that bit of effort to overcome the inconvenience and wait a while more for both parties to feel comfortable before asking for number?
Where has your sincerity fly to?

For (3).
I think usually, people who type this meant, "Can we meet?".
I think usually, people who type this meant, "Can we meet?".
Can uhz, of course can meet.
Meet my best friends, meet my family.
Just not meeting up with you, cuz I don't know who the shit are you.
Meet my best friends, meet my family.
Just not meeting up with you, cuz I don't know who the shit are you.
Especially if you are going to put pictures of cars and cartoons on your Facebook.
And when I don't even know if the person in the DP is you.
Let's take it slower, shall we?
For (4).
Asking me what I am working as is fine.
But honestly?
I always thought salary is a personal thing.
What has my salary gotta do with you?
LOL, not like I am giving you any percentage of it.
Unless well, you tell me you wanna contribute to my payrise.
And extra allowance.
Then I'll perhaps, consider telling it to you.

Holycowofthesacredtribute.
People who ask this.
Obviously have no idea of what a serious relationship is.
And I don't even wanna delve into this cuz I can prolly write a thousand word essay on how I disagree with people going into relationship without even knowing each other well.
