pseudo relationships....

Pseudo-relationships.
Pseudo-boyfriends.
Pseudo-girlfriends.
Flings.
Almost like a relationship, but not quite.
It is a phase where the persons involvedare more than friends, but not quite lovers.
Puwedeng may verbal agreement,puwedeng wala.
One or both of you may have admitted your feelings,possible ding hindi.
You just let your gestures do the talking for you.
Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari.
Hindi kayo mag-dyowa.
Pero sa kilos niyo,sa mga sinasabi niyo, parang kayo,pero hindi.
This kind of "relationship"can happen at different stages for different reasons.
It can happen after a break-up.
You still love each other,and you want to be with each otherbut you broke up for a reason.
And for reasons that you alone know,ayaw niyo na muna magkabalikan.
It can also happen before a relationship,iyong pareho kayong nakikiramdam.
Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag- seryoso kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang muna.
Testing lang. (tama ba un?!)
Puwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayokasi isa sa inyo may ka-relasyon na.
Kaya habang hindi pa siyanakikipag-break doon sa boy/girl
(sabi niya makikipag-break siya soonpero di naman niya ginagawa),
wala muna kayong relasyonpara nga naman hindi siya nangangaliwakasi "hindi naman kayo."
This pseudo-relationship stage,for a time, can be fun.
Lalo na kung naghahanap ka lang naman ng "KALARO."
Pero huwag ka lang mag-e-expectna may patutunguhan kayo kzewala talagang kasiguraduhan.
So bakit ang daming nagse-settlesa ganitong set up ganoong hindi naman siguradokung may patutunguhan?
Iba't ibang dahilan.
Puwedeng for fun lang.
Puwedeng "buti na iyan kesa wala" or puwede na iyang "pantawid-gutom."
Meaning, habang wala pa iyong the real thing,doon muna sa kunwa-kunwarian.
For those who are not in a serious relationship,they would think that pseudo-relationshipis better than no relationship at all.
It would be fun, if all you're afteris that "kilig" feeling.
But then I learned that although it wasonly a pseudo-relationship,the emotions were real.
And usually, in this kind of set up,merong malulugi.."ung nainlove sa taong taken na.."
Una, you can't ask him/her to commit.
Since it's not really a relationship,you can't demand commitment from your partner.
Ano ba kayo?You will always be uncertainabout your role in his/her life.
You can't expect him/herto be always there with you.
And if you feel jealous of the other boys/girls,you just have to keep it to yourself.
Ano ka ba niya para magselos?
Pangalawa, what ifyou fall deeply in love with him/her?
You can't be sure if he/she feels the same way.
Baka nag-a-assume ka langna mahal ka rin niya.
Even if you are dying to tell him/her you love him/her,you can't.
Because you're not sureif he/she will like it.
Baka mapahiya ka lang.
This stage will always make you wonderwhere you are in the relationship.
Or if there is a relationship at all.Pangatlo, what if you become attached too much?
What if you have investedall your emotions and this man/woman hasn't?
What if you remain faithful to him/her,not entertaining other guys/gals,
only to find out that he/she is seeingother girls/boys?Isa pang downside ng pseudo-relationships,it is fleeting.
When a disagreement sets in, or when one of you gets cold,then that would be the end of it.
Unlike in a serious relationship,hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulugar sa isang pseudo-relationship.
Wala kang pinanghahawakan.Kasi sa pseudo- relationship,there is no "us."
Meron lang "you and me,"hindi "us"
