Okay, so Sujit says it looks bad that I accept these gifts from Sam when I’m not infatuated with him. I do love him, just as a friend, and he knows that. I can’t be in love with him because it’s complicated and he understands. I don’t get it, I *said* I was looking for a good present for him, cause we’re good friends and all, but I’m not in love with him. Sigh. All of these complications. First off, he’s Chinese, and if I were to not accept his gifts, he’d be horribly offended. I’ve tried to keep him from buying me things but he won’t quit. I even scolded him yesterday, trying to keep him from spending more than my spending limit in China. So, if you think it looks bad, pppttthhhhh. It’s not my fault. I wasn’t even flirty or lead him on or anything.
And I still need to find him a nice present. I’m awful at giving boys presents, I never know what to get them. Girls are so much easier to shop for. You can give them smelly bath things, and even if they don’t particularly like smelly bath things they’ll still like the gift. It’s that subconscious attraction to smelly things in nice bottles. What’s the subconscious perfect gift for men (besides that)? This is so confusing. I’ve thought about getting him this really neat Canadian glass sculpture, but that still seems girly to me. I’m so confused! I need help. I want to give him something as cool as the stuff he’s gotten me.
How in the name of heck could that sound bad, Sujit?
And yet another correction, another one of my friends named Sam (who will from now on be referred ot as Californian Sam) says I should clarify that it’s not him, so from now on Chinese Sam is the one who’s buying me silk in China. Fitting, eh? I seriously wish I had never brought any of this up. All because I was so excited about that dress. Sigh. 🙂
