I have a friend who has a history of being a ‘carrot’ to girls from dius, mostly Vietnamese girls.

Every time our clique goes to a diu for some partying, he will be instantly hooked towards the girl that flirts with him a little or gives him a bit of physical contact.

Recently, he has been hooked to a new girl from this particular joint that we went to at Macpherson Mall.

He would wait for her to finish work so that he can bring her to eat supper and send her home.

The girl tells him that she is interested in him and calls him darling and baby and occasionally lets him hold her hand.

It is their way of flirting with customers to make them think of them so that the customers will return but while the average guy who frequent dius frequently would take it with a pinch of salt, my friend will go crazy over these kind of gestures.

He would take it as the girl has a genuine interest in him and would go all lengths to please her, just to continue receiving this sort of gestures from her.

He recently told me that he has bought her an iPhone while they were out and she was so happy so she let him hold her hand for the whole day.

And that was about it. Not even a hug, just letting him hold hands and he was so elated.

However on another occasion when they went out and he did not buy her what she wanted, she would be ‘angry’ and not speak to him and will not let him hold her.

Afraid to disappoint his ‘princess’, he would then give in to her and buy her what she wanted.

So far, he has bought her an iPhone 14, a Chanel bag, a Gucci wallet and even lingerie from Victoria Secret and all he gets in return is just her letting him hold her hand for the duration they are out together.

Our clique has tried to talk him out of being a ‘carrot’ but he still insists that it is true love and thinks that one day she will allow him to hug her and maybe even more.

We just hope that he can realise that he’s been used sooner but well it is a willing relationship so as long as he is happy i guess.
