I had to admit, I was not really all faithful to my prev post about being back to basics- no social media.
Well here is my side of it. July 30th was my sister's birthday. I had to activate and send her an obligatory collage greeting. Like everyone else. I know I would make her happy by doing so.
Yesterday was her simple Debut Party since she doesn't really want to celebrate it at all. I was just the one who convinced her to have a party. LOL.
So anyway, I cheated. It wasn't no social media at all. There was facebook actually. And i felt bad for it. So now let me share to you what's stopping me in deactivating it back again. '
The time that I deactivated facebook and started using email and sms was the time that I was at peace. Like no kidding. I felt at ease with everything. I dont need to tweet pic everything that is happening. Or i don't need to upload a snap of whats going on with my day and all that. I appreciate the fact that some people literally emailed me. and sent me a viber msg and sms. I guess there are really people reading this blog after all.
Back to my dilemma of whether I'll use facebook again or not? So you all know what I already transferred hub from Cebu to 6100. People from the hub here are all so accommodating. They were all so nice to me since the day i officially enrolled. Sending me updates and invites to some small group sessions here and there, and some other informative seminars that I have yet to attend.
So there was this one guy. Whom I find a little attractive.
Well I don't really know. Since most of the time my head would be looking down and avoiding eye contact with everyone else. As someone might see or even recognize me. But yes, lets name him - Mr. Corporate Guy. He is one of the officers in charge at the hub. I first noticed him last April when Carlos (the guy who is assisting me) introduced me to almost all his colleagues. Again, my head was still down that time. But I had a glimpse of him. He is tall. He looks decent. He looks very corporate-ish with his attire. Something that I consider my weakness.
I went back and fourth a couple of times and saw him each and everytime i go visit the hub.
He once texted me, supposedly a group message like they always do and I responded like business as usual.
The last time I visited was around July before I visited Manila. It was weird since Mr Corporate Guy was all accommodating. Or maybe it was just because I was the only person inside the clinic at that time and that he had no choice. But what caught my attention was. He sent me a message after I visited. I told myself that this is weird. Like why would someone from the hub sent me a message, thanking me from dropping by and telling me to take care of myself. I thought he was just being nice. I responded a little flirty and told him that I'm sorry I had to rush since I'm catching my flight that evening.
After that, it slipped my mind. Until recently when I was making my obligatory collage greeting in my sister's facebook wall. I decided to search his profile and liked one of his picture. I though maybe he won't mind or that he won't respond. But hey? He did. And the rest is kind of history.
Prior to that we had some exchanges of sms. Nothing serious just some bunch of topics here and there. I had no social media access back then. Until the 30th of July when i had to search him.
Last saturday, amidst all the birthday party preparation. We decided to meet up. Drove about 30 mins to his place and had coffee beside a bridge. Walked and talked about everything. Shared each other's life stories.
I had a great time. For some reason. I felt like disconnecting from social media had its own reward. It is meeting real people and talking with them face to face.
While we were inside my car. Some spark happened. He held my hand and thanked me for my time.
I guess I already know better. That all these things might just be temporary. I am not expecting anything more than just a friendly conversation. After all. I don't know him that well. But lets see where this goes.
From time to time we would still send sms and talk via facebook messanger. And that's the main reason why Im a little hesitant to deactivate my facebook again. Well, I am hoping that this could be the beginning of something nice for me. But then. No expectations. I've learned alot already.
So tell me what you think? Should I deactivate and let this go? Or is this something worth my time?
Confused,
Z
