Picture this. Great company, great dialogue, good chemistry infact
you could wish for nothing more. Perfect just perfect. Maybe, you think to
yourself this could be the elusive "one."
So perfect is the "date" you even begin to wonder how he
or she looks without clothes on. Taking yourself down a fantasy road of how the
first night together would be. A sly touch here, a coquettish smile there. It's
clear the attraction is real. You lean in maybe for a kiss (hey it's your
fantasy) suddenly he or she says "I wish I'd met you first."
Scratch the music! What?! Yes, sadly a lot of us get that... a lot!
That hotter than fire and cooler than ice cream guy or chick has got themselves
a significant other. In a twinkle of an eye, the bubble bursts. Paradise that
was moments ago within reach dances tauntingly away.
What to do? How do you recover from what has happened? Do you
pretend it was all a dream? I posed this question to a bunch of friends guys
and gals. Now, its either I need to choose better friends or I've got the
smartest friends on the planet you decide.
So as I said, I asked a bunch of friends and each answered me with
this question. "By significant other, does this mean the person is
married?" Confused I answered unmarried. I remember getting mild looks
which spoke volumes as to the level of my stupidity. For the chicks I got
"If he isn't married he's fair game" which was oddly the same
response from the guys.
As one guy put it "after sending out signals and getting me all
hot and bothered you wan match brake? Na die be dat na cos I go must see the
end oh." I laughed, it was funny. Would I stop if it were me? Probably not
however isn't this a recipe for disaster. Okay, imagine that the guy is
seriously in love with his significant other and come rain or high water isn't
prepared to leave her. No be "chop and clean mouth" him go use me do?
For guys who meet a girl with a significant other, the reverse is the case.
What significant other doesnt know won't kill him. No body gets hurt and so
they "hit it and quit it" allowing the girl go back to her
significant other no qualms. Would a womanhowever be able to do so without
becoming emotional or getting attached to a clearly unavailable man? And if so,
upon hearing the words "I wish I had met you first" would she take
off running for the hills? "Definitely not!" Retorted Efe my long
time friend. "I go collect the man!" She stated matter of factly. I
just formed unlooking.
So people, answer this one. I wish I'd met you first. What do you
do?
