I’m not the type of girlfriend who lets her boyfriend carry her bags for her. I’m also not the type of girlfriend who would drag her boyfriend out to watch a pinoy romantic film much to his dismay. So when Obie offered to accompany me while I shop for clothes, I was super hesitant. He wanted to make up for a slight mishap that he did the previous day which got me all sad and depressed and disappointed.
The man wanted to make up for a mistake. I’m not going to take that away from him.
So I agreed and off we went to Megamall. On a Saturday. In December.
It feels kind of weird shopping with your boyfriend isn’t it? I can never understand women who would drag their poor boyfriends and husbands and make them sit and wait in a women’s clothing store while they try on clothes. It’s just cruel. I’m sure as hell those poor saps in Forever21 sitting on the circle platform aren’t enjoying themselves. Of course if your boyfriend is the type who actually enjoys looking at women’s clothing, (which raises some pressing questions) then good for you! But for the rest of the boyfriend population? I don’t think so.

Obie was there while I browsed through racks of clothing. He looked at the stuff I was looking at, fiddled a bit on sequins and mainly browsed around The Dude Area.
I shopped for dresses, clothes, accessories, heck even make-up. And Obie was there all the way.
Honestly, I had difficulty shopping because I worried about him most of the time; Him being dragged around from store to store, looking at things that do not interest him. As much as possible, I tried to make my stall-visits brief and efficient.
And then the time came when I really had a lot on my hands that I couldn’t check out certain items. THEN, Obie came in handy. LOL. He carried my bags for me.
So the rare chance of The Boyfriend being A Boyfriend finally happened.
However, I STILL wouldn’t let him go through this again. I know that he’s an amazing boyfriend and he will probably tell me “it’s okay” but he won’t be fooling me. From here on out, I’ll be shopping on my own… for his sake and my sake. The whole fitting into stereotype was fun as a one-time thing. We felt… normal. lol. But that’s it, not gonna happen again. No sir.
I had amazing fun with him regardless. Most of the day was spent laughing and making complete and utter fools of ourselves. And eating. We did that one a lot.
So Obie, if you’re reading this, thank you. 
Museum trip next time please? 
touch it?

Hahaha this made me laugh. I remember those shopping trips I had too and yes it IS torture for them no matter how much they insist. Plus I agree on those points you made here, I’d rather shop alone next time or with a gal pal.

Yes diba dibaaa!! We worry about them din kasi.
) We’d be doing each other a favor if the girls do the shopping without the boyfriends or if they do something or go somewhere else while we shop lol

i must agree! lol. i don’t bring the husband when i shop because i don’t want anyone hovering near me when i am still undecided what to buy. he just doesn’t understand that i have to go to five different stores first before buying THE perfect pair of shoes or a pretty dress. lol. this is a cool entry!
