When I thought of the Top 10 Women Turn-Ons series, at the same time I came up with its counterpart. Why? Because it takes two to tango! No matter how much a girl loves to be pursued, she has a job to do in order to be successful in the dating field.

Instead of putting this series up after I’ve posted all the ten episodes of Top 10 Women Turn-Ons, I changed my mind now. So I will alternate between the two so both genders are addressed at the same time and we can see how males and females interact and the different roles they play in attracting the right person to their lives.

The bonus issue! I got this late submission for this project. Well, never one to reject another beautiful love story, I’d like to thank Miss Emma for her generous contribution even though she’s missed the chance to win the prize.

Thank you!

“It Begins With Another Attachment …” - Emma from Singapore 

Emma absolutely hated going to GWC for her work attachment. After all, she got into her first choice company only to find it close down and then posted to somewhere which is not her specialization. She spoke up and was fired!

“99 Paper Cranes & 1-Metre Eiffel Tower” - Jhong Ren from Singapore (the winner of this project!)

I met my girlfriend when we attended the Union Orientation Camp in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) when I was in year 2. We were in this Food and Beverage Committee and she was the main committee member and I’m the sub-committee member. Simply saying, she called the shots about matters regarding food and I listened to her.

My story of meeting her was not much of a fantasy or fairy-tale which tells a prince rescuing the princess by slaying the fiery dragon. The only thing I had slayed was the shyness in me and the fear of approaching her for a date.

“My ICQ Lover” - Xinyi from Singapore 

Heh I know him via my good pals during Secondary school. First impression: Milky, Fair and Cute Little Young Boy. A nice guy that enjoys being bullied by girls.  

In year 1999, we got into the same class. He sat in front of me during the first week. Second Impression: Cool, Quiet and Shy. He does not dare to speak or look at me during group discussion.

3rd Quarter of Year 1999, he came to my desks to collect class fund and stayed at my table for a long long time. I sensed some weird behavior in him.

“A Japanese Christmas” - Ming Chern (a.k.a TofuMonkey) from Singapore 

Love is a wonderful yet so mysterious thing. It happens at the times least expected …

Perhaps it hits you when you are crossing the road and you cross path with the person you are about to spend your rest of the life with. Perhaps it strikes when you look over your shoulder and voila, you future-partner is just across the other table.

Or maybe, love doesn’t hit you until really late. I can relate to this. I felt nothing for my wife during the first 2 years in Japanese class. I guess love between us took some time to blossom, especially when the lessons only happen once a week.

“The Computer Matchmakers” - Steve Pavlina from USA 

 

Erin and I originally met on a BBS (Bulletin Board System – an interactive software. See wikipedia’s explanation) in 1994. It was a San Fernando Valley BBS called DreamScape with 24 dial-up lines (northwest part of Los Angeles).  Erin and I found we shared an interest in lucid dreaming, so I invited her over to my apartment one day, and we talked for two hours straight. 

We had a lot in common, including going to the same college at the same time, even though we never met each other there.  Our relationship blossomed into a friendship and then turned romantic after a few weeks.  A few months later we moved in together.
