IF EVE HAD COME FIRST

The concept of commencing a relationship is
a 'giant stride' which has to be inevitably
made before its sail can begin.
In this part of the world,it is unarguably
accepted that the duty of commencing its sail
is a guy's.He has to make known his desire
and emotions,however good or bad his
intent.

Even when a girl falls in love with you first,it is
still expected of you to notice the signs and
take the bold step of wooing her.She dares
not make the move(exceptions are bound
though) by herself for reasons mostly
genuine.
As a guy,you are divinely destined to assume
the role of a relentless foot soldier,walking up
to your dream girl to brief her with 'sweet
nonsense'.....never giving up is the rule of the
game.

Rehearsal is almost like a waste of time
especially if you are unfortunate to stand face
to face with a girl that looks you straight in
the eyes while rendering your 'solo
blues'....Your balls might melt and you soon
discover that 'stammering' can be a talent.
Meanwhile,that is not to say a guy musn't be
prepared,atleast for an impromptu question,a
toasting session may suddenly turn to an
interview(when she starts dishing you some
rhetorical questns),questions like ''what
makes you think you love me?'' might be
asked.

Having a punch line that can seal it up
for you might just be your life guard.
Asking out a girl is reminiscent of bidding for
a contract,In essence,having it at the back of
your mind that you are just a negligible
fraction out of the numerous suitors would
be a cogent reminder enough for you to be a
'Mario'.

That you are becoming tired of a girl whose
response to your proposal is getting too late
is mostly far from a guy's thought.
The price would eventually be worth it keeps
coming back to mind.
It's no joke convincing monkeys that
strawberries are sweeter than bananas(not
saying girls are monkeys),so,no matter the
atitude you get or the insults hurled at
you...no retreat,no surrender.

At the end,you might get unlucky by being
'disqualified'.The feeling that comes with it
doesnt augur well with a guy whose
intentions are genuine.He naturally feels bad
not only for losing his dream girl but for the
time,energy and strength that had gone
fruitlessly.


I woke up a while ago and gave it a deep
thought,searching for answers as to who
designated this gruelling role as a guy's...Then
I remembered the book that has ALL the
answers,the BIBLE.

Gen 1 vs 26 said ''And God said, let us make
man in our image.....'','MAN',that word alone
already divinely gave us the role.If God had
probably said ''Let us make WOMAN in our
image....'',maybe these whole situation would
have been otherwise.
Also,God caused Adam into a deep sleep (Gen
2 vs 21),thereby removing one of his ribs for
a woman that was to soon be created and
despite the rib being Adam's,I'm sure he still
had to walk up to Eve...what pride!.

Maybe if God had made the woman first and
caused her into a deep sleep,man would have
been made from one of their ribs.
Had this been so,we would have long been
saved from the task of WOOING.
That means,a girl would see me walk by a
street and ask me for a few minutes and I'd
be like ''Can you please make it snappy,I'm in
a hurry''.
I'd be asked out by a girl and I'd be like
''Hmm,I'd think about it''.
If I dont call her for a day or two,who cares
but if she tries
it..she has queries to answer.
She would take me to an eatery while my
response is still pending,I'd simply tell my
friends she is just a good Samaritan who
loves wasting money.

She would send me a recharge card and I'd
flash to notify that I've gotten it,she has to call
me back to confirm again...I'd simply say
''thank you dear''
If she says ''I love you'' at the end of our
conversation,I can end the call and feign that
it was the network but she dares not try it
with me,she must love me too else I'd accuse
her of cheating.

On valentine's day,it would be her headache
to treat me to a befitting outing else that
would mark the beginning of her being
'yellow carded',isnt a big deal if she gets
nothing from me.
On her birthday,she has to buy me the world
and treat my friends and I to an elegant
bash,wouldnt matter if all I get her is only a
card or nothing on her birthday...who says I
cant pay in kind!.

If there is a quarrel between us and she
refuses to call me,my friends would say ''She
isnt even matured'',who gives a damn if i
dont call her,afterall she asked me out.
If there is a fight between us,she has to say
sorry to me either right or wrong...she has to
say SORRY!
If she picks up my phone and sees different
love messages in it,I'd simply say ''They are
my toasters jare,I have nothing to do with
them'',then she would have to suffer the
jealousy in silence or better still show it in her
disatisfaction.

I can pick up fight with her at anytime
depending on my mood and accuse her of
getting worst instead,it wouldnt matter if it
isnt genuine.
Well,that could have indeed been possible
only IF EVE HAD COME FIRST.
