Last Thursday, I was talking to a close friend while were having our usual-Thursday jog. Usually we’ll talk about the weirdest things, she’s a sexual innuendo, believe me when I say that. It’s really fun to be around her, she’ll make you laugh till you can laugh no more. On that day she didn’t seem happy, so it was my turn to cheer her up with my “silly-sick” jokes. As soon I managed to get her laughing, I asked her what’s wrong. & she spilled, everything, she was having problems with her partner and she didn’t know what to do. When she needs advise she always turns to me, she said, “You somehow know what to say “, I take that as a compliment, after all what friends are for. Her “partner” is a good friend of mine too. Let’s put it this way, when both of them have problems, they turn to me, I’m like their fairy God-mother. I gave her some advice, that she should be selfish and think about herself, she should think about what he’s going through as well etc... At that moment she smiled at me as if her burdens were lifted. That put a smile on my face. Knowing that I am actually able to understand a guys point of view and as well as a girls point of view. I guess that’s one of my gifts :) She ended by saying “Whoever your man is, he sure is lucky to have you “. All I could do was smile. Those word, “your man” stings.

Next day, after school as I was browsing through a collection of William Shakespeare poetry. My MSN buzzed. I couldn’t figure out who would buzz such a time? To my surprise, it’s “her partner”, we chatted at least for an hour. I know it’s not usual, for someone to chat with their best friend’s boyfriend. I know she trusts me and knowing myself, he is like a brother to me. So we went on , I heard his side of the story , to my surprise , I told her whatever he said one day earlier . It’s like I predicted his thoughts. I was astonished. I explained to him, how she felt and I told him its best if he talks to her. & I made them one promise that I know I’ll never break
“I will make sure ya’ll stay together till the day I die, because what you guys have here is hard to find, I never had a long relationship, I don’t want ya’ll to end. You guys just celebrated 1 year. It’ll be stupid if ya’ll want to end it now over something so silly , remember when you guys decided to get together , you guys took a hidden oath to bear each other , a relationship is never smooth , ya’ll with fight , scream and even get annoyed . The best part is after that, when love takes over anger, hate and lust. So please be patient.”
It made me feel happy because I was actually committing myself to something. A life-time commitment.
That night, my tuition teacher was talking about “love”. What an awkward day. She asked me “So darling, tell me what do you look for in a man”. Awkward thing for a teacher to ask, but, I respected her question. I told her very briefly , I want someone who respects me and himself , knows his boundaries ,definitely a Christian , he’s got to be comfortable around me , he doesn’t have to act all cool and shit , last but not least , he’s got to accept me for who I am . My teacher paused and said “ interesting but where are the details women”.
I can’t believe she just called me women. HaHaHa.
She knew I was a little lost, so she wrote something on a piece of paper, & she wanted me to answer them verbally. It stated “DETAILS MISSY, DEEPER DETAILS”. I’m guessing she wants to hear about my ideal guy. So I told her,
I wouldn’t say looks don’t matter, because that’s total bullshit, they do matter but they aren’t important. Since I’m a six string lover, he must be able to play the guitar. He’s got to be humble, respectful, and loyal. He would be someone who I can talk to comfortably. He would be someone I can trust with all my secrets.He’d be my best friend. He’d be someone, I can be myself with, I can totally be a pig and he wouldn’t mind. That would be amazing. He’d be someone who would stand up for “us” even if people are against us. A huge NO-NO to players. As I said loyal. He’d be there through thick or thin, sickness and in health. To summarize everything, he’s my best friend.
My teacher looked pleased, and she threw another question at me, give me con’s, something that you wouldn’t want.
That was an easy question
“I wouldn’t want him flirting around when he’s with me”
“I wouldn’t want him to propose to me through a text saying “lets couple” that’s a huge turn down , a simple word like “be mine” would sound way civilized “
“I wouldnt want a guy, who would leave me when he sees something better that comes along”
Simple words I want to be his world, and I’ll make him mine.
& my teacher had a point in all this fun activities; I was assigned to a 1000 word essay on my ideal man that day . Teachers , so predictable . Hahaha
Last week, messed a little with my emotions. I’m just looking forward to a better week ahead. I’ll blog about my torturous 12 hour seminar soon.
