he’s my split!
anyone who has ever read this before will know i have no experiance with men, ( not talking sexually, i’m talking emtionally) men are virgin territory to me. i grew up in a family that was almost exclusively female in character, all my cousins in my age group female, more aunts than uncles on both sides of mi famillia. all the male cousins are either older by ten or more years or born and bred abroad. my family is very traditional they do not allow people, or their children into their homes without forging relationships. my family did not have many close friends so i did not meet any boys my own age until i went to school. there as well as the gender split there was a cultral one.
the male peers that i have now are astounded sometimes with me, that i do not what to say to men and do not know how to simper at men or flirt. they say that with my looks and body i should be fighting off men, but that my obvious discomfort with interaction with them just scares them away. there must be some kind of behavioural pattern that manifests in your formative years that i must have just missed.
my father is the grumpiest man alive. he is forbidding and mean. he is the child/teen hating teacher that lurks in every school/ educational facility. so i was never going to be his special little girl….. but that isn’t true. me and my dad were inseparable friends until i entered formal education at age 4. All his ambitions of being the father of England’s first black prime minister, englands most eminent scientist or generally intelligent woman fell to pieces. I was fun loving ,cheery, friendly and just above average. not fantastic , or gifted. he was devastated, how does that manifest itself in a teacher who thinks yelling will help students works? he yelled and shouted at me hoping that being called stupid and ignorant would inspire me to do better…….. However that would not inspire a terrified teary eyed 4 year old to do better, it makes her feel stupid and makes her give up on trying.
so that early years template of male to female relationship was not great. I met more guys at secondary school. they all hated me, i had opinions and dared to answer back.. thus the template for that evil angry black woman was formed (for those guys). while the other girls smiled and stayed sweet for the guys, the got asked out had sex and got all the experiance in before i even had my first kiss.
so largely i ignored guys and they ignored me, i was like the clunky furniture in the corner, they knew i was there, they wouldn’t move me i was part of the scenery and they wouldn’t use me either. so suddenly when guys started throwing themselves at me at the 18-21 age i was shocked and didn’t know how to deal with it. how could i sort the wheat from the chaff? how do guys behave, how should i behave.
the first guy was a real sleaze but of course i did not know that at first, he made promises and then never fulfilled even one. the greaseball still tries to touch me when he sees me. yuk yuk. if only i had better relationships with men i would have seen him coming.
mr second was a real sweetie, if he called me and said he was around and ready to commit , i’d take him faster than you can say. “big pimpin”
mr third was a dissapointment, i had feeling and he lied and said it was reciprocated, lies when i asked him to take me somewhere that did not involve sheet and bed he was appauled and looked like i asked him to commit incest with his mother and then fry and consume his own penis.
mr four was my main squeeze, brown. sweeter than sugar, i grew with him for two years and what i know about men is down to his patience and time and affection, i think love was too much to ask of him, but if he could open his heart to me i would marry him in a heart beat.
so where did brown leave me. Well what i could summize from my previous relationships was that men are restless fanny botherers, with no capacity for human emotion, having children and lavishing fine emotion on them is a waste? NO NO NO!! i never give up hope that there is man out there.
right now, i cannot take any more heart ache, so instead i date lots of men in a non- commital fashion ( without strings and sex mostly) to try and feel out what men are all about. i used a guy for sex. he was trying and i was resisting and he asked me straight up if would use him. i was like why ever not.
How many men have used me without being upfront, so i did just that. And it felt so bloody good!!!!!!!!!! he was my split and he looked very disappointed when i said that i was not looking for another go or a relationship. i did not want more sex cos he was killing me (too much of a good thing) and could not have a relationship because i did not know enough about men,.
maybe my approach is naive, but i do not understand them and feel my only method of getting to know them is in social settings, getting men to social occassions is no mean feat, so you have to date them in a casual setting.
anyhoo, more men to meet.
Even paragon’s such as myself make mistakes!!!
sometimes i reckon i must come across as preachy! I admit i can be santimonious, at times ( that admission stung a little)! i love to lecture, it’s in my blood, generations of finger wagging, church going women preceed me and although i try to avoid that trait it is there.
So i’ll own up online, I have erred!
I love to lecture on love and relationships (despite my own ineptitute in that department) i live in a world of ideals, i have little actual experiance. so in june i started in earnest a realtionship with a lovely sensitive, but somewhat facially challenged fellow. i jetted off on a five week holiday. i returned and two wayed him, i got one paltry reply. which stung a little. so i met up with a mixed group of pals in student halls. my gal-pal tossed me out her room after three bottles of dark rum, her man-friend wanted some privacy and “adult time” so thus i chillaxed in a mutual friends room. i was hammered! not just hammered but effing smashed up, but i thought i was with friends so thought that it wouldn’t be a problem.
The problem is this Mutual friend wanted and suceeded in getting into my pants. then my gal-pal’s man-friend told my new beau, ok no biggy! but i wanted to fess up myself! he only suceeded in making me look decietful, when my intention was to confess and apologise.
go on world wag your finger! i deserve it
