The Big Aiyah

it goes both ways ...

I once read an article, titled "Why Girls Don't Like Nice Guys," in the Datebook section of the newspaper. Noticing the title, I considered myself to be a nice guy and began to read. The article included a story of Boy X having interest in girl Z. Boy X was everything any girl would want, but Girl Z did not feel the same way; she had feelings for Boy Y. Boy Y was the total opposite of Boy X, but was more of a challenge to Girl Z. Challenge! Girl Z wanted to find the hidden treasure buried underneath the tough exterior.

While I was encountering my early stages of the game called dating, I have had my moments of feeling of Boy X. I wondered why would I need to be like Boy Y--the jerk, the asshole, the insensitive bastard. I am a "nice" guy who doesn't act like an asshole, a jerk or be insensitive. I considered myself not a challenge.

After surpassing stages in dating, I found myself meeting/dating females who had boyfriends, talking to someone or were about to be in a relationship. In a weird way, I was happy. I was having fun in these dysfuntional relationships ... 'cuz it was a challenge.

Now, I am single. I am meeting and kicking it with females. I am enjoying wining and dining them whether it to be a broadway show, to a movie or to a nice restaurant. But when someone shows interest in me too quickly, I lose interest ... not a challenge.

hmm ... should I just be the jerk and take them somewhere cheap, so I'll be the challenge to them ... and they be a challenge to me?
