a square

a buddy whom i know likes to call me a square. to him, my full name is: a square church girl. when we first became acquainted, he labeled me as a square. to this day, i still refuse to accept this label and i demand to be called a circle or a star. but a square? oh, please.

an irony has recently come into play. this buddy who said he would never need me for dating advice (because, in his words, he "has game") has come crawling to me, the so-called square, for advice. the reason? because for the first time in his life, he has found an interest in a girl who is also a square. and he has no idea what to do or not do with a square.

he told me what his normal routine consists of with a girl he finds an interest in, but his normal "routine" has been shot down by this square girl and he is mystified: "i have no idea what is going on! and what i'm suppose to do!" hahaha, he's finally realized he can't get the ladies as easily as he thought.

although i laugh at his situation and secretly enjoy that for once he's fallen so clueless, i can't help but reflect on the past guys who i've had to deal with. they were like my buddy, too. for the first time in their lives, they were chasing after a square. to these type of guys, chasing a square may seem to be appealing at first. but soon they realize that a square requires a lot of patience and respect. my buddy has yet to learn this, and though he says that he wants to end up with a square, i'm not all too sure that he'll have the patience to date a square. not right now, anyway, but hopefully someday.

as much as i find my buddy's situation very entertaining, i'm also very thankful for this amusement and learning experience. my buddy has shown me a guy's perspective and thoughts, and i feel like i can now stop blaming guys for being curious about a square. i mean, one can't help but be curious of a square or any other type of girls. but the question is, do they have the patience to be committed to a square?

... shrug.
