Damn Yellow Fever

The one and only man who I connected with in Hong Kong has succombed to the vicious Yellow Fever. Or so says the rumor mill (which I always believe).

I went out on a few dates with him and we liked each other but he's always out of town on business for weeks at a time. So that makes it impossible to date. (God damnit... fine!) After a short mourning period, I let go of the idea of dating him and instead decided to "be available" should he want to "hang out" when he IS in town. After all, he's a guy I'm attracted to, one who I trust and also don't want to kick out of bed in the morning. Not easy to find.

I demostrated my new mindset by wearing a slutty nurse outfit to the Rugby 7's tournament and bringing him back to my place afterwards.

He left the next morning. I didn't call, I didn't write. Couldn't be more low maintenance.

A few weeks later I was drunk and texted him a sexy little message and we had fun flirting back and forth and getting creative with the emoticons. He said he'd be in touch the next time he was in town and I smiled to myself and thought, "Sweet. My plan worked. At least my needs will be met while I'm in HK."

That was in late March and I never heard from him again. I went out with some of his friends last night and was told the rumor is he's developed an aggresive case of Yellow Fever.

Symptoms typically include:

Low Self-esteem
Horniness
Extreme Laziness
Empty Wallet
Dating Size Double-zero Asian chicks in 4 hour intervals

I try really hard never to judge people and I'm not judging him but I am pissed off/disappointed. I understand his situation but I couldn't have made it ANY EASIER for him. He doesn't even have to BUY me. Just meet me for a drink (that I'll pay for) and then he can have as much FREE sex as he wants. And there's no threat of suffocating me as I have the body of an actual woman and not a 12-year old boy. And no threat of an STD which is always a plus.

This is definitely not the type of relationship I'm looking for in life as it just makes me feel empty in the end but it would've been a nice thing to keep me going for my last few months in The Kong.

Once I make it back to the states I will NEVER EVER AGAIN complain about dating options (okay, that's so not true but I'll try my best). Go international and you have a whole new set of issues.

One thing I am looking forward to when I move to London is lesser amounts of transient men and Asian chicks.
