I was reluctant to go to a school lunch event at the China Club yesterday where a famous professor came to speak because they asked for HK$600. I thought no lunch should be this expensive, even at the more posh China Club. Last minute though, I gave in and signed up. It turned out quite memorable. The psychology is now 80 years old and still full of energy. A luxurious career and wisdom made his talk ever more engaging - I seem to have gotten that feeling as if I was the curious 18 year old in college again, full of expectation and curiosity.
The event also helped me make a couple more friends. They are more established in their career and life - I guess those who are willing to pay HK$600 for lunch are self-selected to be from that group. I made a few friends who went to business school at different years and a few professional contacts. I asked them out for lunch.
In addition, the younger guy from the Shanghai university contacted me and we are scheduled for lunch next week. Then an okcupid guy reached out. He also happens to be Indian. I'm not really into that category, since I'd rather stick with what I know, Chinese or American/maybe European. But it's good to practice dating and practice being a woman through meeting people. My one-time sex experience recently contacted me again, wanting to meet up. I was tired from work and want to postpone it to this weekend.
So at least something is going on... I shall know what I want from experience. I'm glad I'm getting over my two crush who are rather unavailable and finally marching forward in finding a love that I can call my own. Even if I shall fail in the process, I would be satisfied that I at least tried my best.
