can u see why he is single?

CY found my profile on friendster. We were linked by a common friend Renith. Having no courage to message me directly, he called Renith to ask her whether she thinks it's ok to make friends with me.

Renith: "So CY asked me whether you can befriend him?"
Me: "Yes, but why can't he take the initiative to ask me directly?"
Renith: " Guess he wasn't sure."
Me: "Wasn't sure of what? Friends only what. What's he thinking?"
Renith: "No idea, maybe he just wanna me to check with you if it's ok."
Me: "Wierd guy. There's no need to ask you for permission to befriend me. You're not my mom anyway. Just ask him to add me."
Renith: "ok."

First impression: Shy
Verdict: 0 pts

Extracts from Friendster message:
CY: "..... Give me a call when u wanna meetup. My Hp no is 9xxx xxxx."

Took a second look and read it again. Since he is the one who wanted to know me in the first place, why must I make the first move to ask him out? It just doesn't make sense, does it? -_- ok, I am not such a baddie to give him death sentence at his first try. Maybe he is just shy. So I wrote back in a rather sarcastic manner, but still gave him chance to explain himself.

Me: "... Well, I'm flexible... you're someone who doesn't like to take initiative hor... "

CY wrote back: "... i not not that type of people la. don't worry . u give me a call when u are free ya...."

Me:"??!!!??!?!?!?!?" -_-

I decided to give him one more chance by taking the intiative to meet up for dinner together with Renith. Told you I'm an angel. I'm very soft-hearted and I don't condemn anyone without giving them 3 chances to redeem themselves after the initial bad impression.

Turned up 15 mins late. (-10 pts) Quite chatty and broke the ice very quickly. (+100 pts) He suggested that we go to the food court as he is not feeling well and would like something light. He did not ask us for our opinion. (-10 pts) Asked us to lead the way as he does not know the way to Raffles City Food Court. Exclaimed that the place changed so much and Robinson's used to be SOGO!

(Helloooo, mister, wakey! SOGO existed here probably more than a decade ago!!! Why you never upgrade one huh? Which cave do you stay in? -_- *Faintz*) (-100 pts)

Never offer to buy food for us girls. (-10 pts) We went to buy our own food and I came back with beef noodles.

"Wah, why u eat beef? My mom says cannot eat beef or else the emulet that I keep in my wallet will not work." he exclaimed.

Criticise my food. (-100 pts) Mention mother once. (-1000 pts)

His HP rang once. "Sorry, my mother called. I forgot to tell her I'm not going home for dinner." he said. His HP rang again 2 mins later. "Oh, my mother asking me when I'll be back."

Mention mother twice. (-2000 pts)

We were chatting on the topic of career. He said, "Oh, I really enjoyed my days when I was a coast guard. I almost wanted to sign on but I didn't. Now ended up doing IT work."

"Why not?" Renith asked.

"Oh, because my father don't allow me to sign on." he replied nonchalantly.

"But you're already 28!!! It's your career! You are old enough to make your own decisions!" I couldn't help but exclaimed in unbelievable amazement.

Mention father once. (-1000 pts) No mind of his own at age 28 (-infinity pts)

I was appalled. Speechless. -_-
