I want my prom

My younger cousin is going to a dinner (with his girl-friend) tonight. I can't help getting jealous over this. Look, how can a 14 years old kid overtake me (a 17 to-be) when it comes to social relationships? Well, in case you want to know, I have no love interest at the moment. Wait, not just 'for the moment being', but never in the history of my miserable life (and that's part of the reason to my 'miserable life'). It definitely rocks to have friends of the opposite sex to flirt with. I am fully aware of the fact that I am not the attractive type that guys are hooked to (unlike my cousin, the all-time girl-magnet). I know, kids are really fast these days, and my cousin is no exception. He's cute, smart and charming, the typical type for a woman. And according to the mother, his date is a hot and sexy Indian chick (who looks more like a 17 rather than a 14) with an ideal curve and slender body shape. Okay, maybe it's just my imagination but that's what I comprehend of (from my aunt's descriptions). And he even learned to waltz.

Just seeing others walk around with their 'soul mates' doesn't really turn me green. What makes me feel left-out is the fact that I don't seem to have any admirers AND anyone to admire OVER THE YEARS. Strictly speaking, I'm like a puppet without love. I've heard of this saying before: A woman with love is the most beautiful of all. Referring to this stupid logic (which I greatly doubt), I have never been beautiful even for once. Please, distrust the statement. Let's not forget about the prom on the graduation day this year. I can't stand my friends asking me about my 'partner' for the night when they themselves have no partners too. I know, it's such a sad thing to have no partner for a prom night but hey, as the woman of the 21st century, I am independent and do not mind attending functions like this without a male partner! I thought the most important thing is to enjoy yourself either ways! There is absolutely no need to force yourself into following the norms of the society just to fit in the crowd! I am happy on my own! Honest!

But nobody seems to trust me. Does single-woman look that lonely??

By the way, just to show you the face of the girl with zero luck in mating, that's me in the picture (second from the right if you can't tell which is the only female).




p/s: If you are male and share the same fate, you can be my partner.
