OMG!

I find this very interesting and I think I should just share it! But before I proceed, I need answers to this. Excuse me? This relationship thing, I mean man-woman relation. Is it compulsory to be in one? Is it a crime if a guy decides to take it slow? I mean, you don't get to know people in a day, I guess it's a gradual thing. Should I then be sent to the gallows just because I refuse to ask you out?

I met this girl a couple of months ago. She's fine, intelligent, and creative. She's really fun to be with and like any other guy, I did put out some feelers and, I stress, nothing more. I believe every guy would identify with this. You send texts to a girl trying to build up a rapport. You know, trying to know what's up with her. Her likes, dislikes and just trying to put a good face.

Carefully. Yes carefully. I sometimes find it interesting when the female folk respond to some overtures from men as always meaning interest in starting up something. A female friend once told me it's immaturity. I guess that's just it. But that's not my story. I know Doj may be thinking that way but sorry to disappoint you.

Interestingly, she started developing interest in me. Or so I believe. What led to that is still a mystery I'm unable to unravel till date. Dark. Light! It's just like PHCN restoring electricity after a prolong groping in the dark. Beep. There was a text on my phone. "Hi, I'm sorry for being..., Pls can I see you on monday?"

And that was it. The beginning of something. There were phone calls, text messages, mind you, it was a mutual thing and it's fun and sometimes, frustrating.

The climax of the story only came up yesterday, Friday, the fifteen day of May, two thousand and eight the year of our Lord. We sat together and we got talking.

I: Hi what's up? ... Why the silence from you
She: I can't date you because I don't want any guy now and... You don't even know how to ask a girl out... I think you should have sex with a girl first... You're just all over me....
I: But I've not asked you out? I'm ...
She: You're just not it! You're such a jerk! (curses) You don't ask a girl out that way.... (curses more)
I: But I really find all that insultive...
She: Really! (turns around frowing)
I: Of course
She: (stands up) Go fuck yourself! (went off)

Men, as I write this, it still bothers mind what She's really driving at. Anyway you look at it and I'm just open about the way you feel. I'm not in love with her and I'm not ready for any serious. I don't mind any play anyway insofar as she's cool with that. But what I really find shocking though amusing was that episode.

Is it a crime if a guy refused to ask a girl out when she's got feelings for him? Even if you want the guy to come up to it, do you have to go cursing the guys and spurting those obsenities? I think Belinda really sucks.
