The Okay Guy
So you’re looking to date an ‘okay’ guy. Just okay.
You bump into each other and hit it off immediately. Both of you have so much
in common that you’re convinced he’s the Ying to your Yang. He’s a regular campus guy who lives within
his means and still manages to make you happy. His wardrobe, okay; His mannerisms,
okay; His looks, totally okay; Financially, just okay. Your relationship is
simply just okay.
Okay. There’s only so much okay a human being can
put up with and soon you’re no longer okay with okay. Time to look for some
thrill! You have clearly run out of patience and you have to try elsewhere
before tying a noose around your neck. See the excuses you make? Okay.

The
Hot Lecturer
You’ve told yourself that all lecturers are
forbidden fruit and you’re openly repulsive towards ladies who date their teachers.
How do they do it? I mean, how do you face him in the lecture hall when all you
can think about are the little nothings he texted you last night? How do you
not wink at him while he’s trying to make everybody understand Hess’s Law? Just
how do you keep a straight face in class when you know some silly and laughable
things about him? Wait for it…
Everything changes when you catch him stealing a
glance at you during a CAT. You suddenly notice that his eyes are a cute pair
and you wouldn’t mind to find them staring at yours every morning when you wake
up. You notice he has tidy nails too. Then you like his cologne. And the way he
speaks, plus how he authoritatively walks into the
lecture hall and everybody shuts up (I swear this is so silly).
A few weeks later, he has your number
and you’re secretly meeting up at high-end joints, because he wants to treat
you like a queen. He even buys you that Tecno Phantom that you’ve been
daydreaming about. It’s a dream come true and nobody’s going to ruin this for
you. No. You won’t even let your girlfriends talk you out of it. You have found
the man of your dreams. This is it.

Months later and he hasn’t taken you to
his hood yet. It’s about time you
started dropping hints at his place. Like forgetting your earrings at his
place. Or your bra. Or your doll
shoes. Come on girls, you know how we do
these things. Getting married in installments. Hehe
Back to our hot Prof. He doesn’t want
you to come to his place yet because he thinks it’s too soon and you’re taking
none of this crap. You decide to play CSI just to find out the truth behind
this. It doesn’t take too long to
realize that the pig is married, with 3 kids, and a fourth one still baking!
Dunia haina huruma.
There’s no more guts left in you to even
date a toad. You have given up on humanity. Maybe you were meant to be a nun
after all. You find solace in spirituality and end up becoming a regular church
going campus student. You become so serious with church that you join a bible
study group, looking for sanity and maybe God.
Enter the Altar Boy
He is cool, calm and collected and one
of the very few gentlemen you’ve ever come across. He treats you like a gem,
like you’re the only thing that matters. He clearly likes you, owing to the
early-morning and late night ‘Praise the Lord’ texts he sends, religiously.
This guy motivates you, believes in you and wants the best of you. You finally
feel safe and at home with this guy.
He strives to do the right things
because he fears a higher power and you feel like you just hit the relationship
jackpot. This is perfectly fine except you feel there’s something amiss. You
can’t really point it out. Maybe it’s the fact he can’t hug you or hold your
hand in public. Maybe it’s because all your conversations are centered on the Bible
and you begin to get bored. You now think he deserves better. A good girl. One who can take the narrow way, which you’re
clearly not made for. Is there a Bible
verse that kinda says, ‘I can’t do this anymore? Let’s break up?’
Your heart is broken and you’re feeling
weary already. At this rate, you consider trying dating after campus since
nothing seems to be working for you.
My two cents: When it comes to
love, work with what you have. You might not find what you’ve always wanted but
hey, give a brother the chance to prove his worth jamaneni
