My friend, D has these things he says that makes me wonder if he’s secretly a girl (see title). But then he’ll say something else that reminds me he is definitely still all male.
Case in point: I was riding in his car the other day and he popped open his glove compartment to reveal his very first self-bought box of condoms. He was so proud because he had never bought them before. He even had a little heart-to-heart with the cashier about it. I asked what he did before he bought that box and he told me he always just got them from his friends.
He informed me, “The thing about me and my boys, we’ll never share our Kool-Aid, but we do share condoms.”
And that, my friends, is a D-quip.
The latest D-quip about The Hills made me laugh: one, because he referenced that show in the first place, and two, because he actually does have more relationship drama then your average 20-something girl. He’s one of those obnoxious people that had his Facebook relationship status change from ‘in a relationship’ back to ‘single’ within a week.
Knowing that he is going through the ups and downs, drama and confusion that we girls often times do when it comes to dating is both comforting and disheartening because if we don’t know what we want and they don’t know what they want, then pretty much we are all screwed.
And not in the good way.
But it reminds me that guys are just as confused, if not more so some days, as gals when it comes to what they want out of a relationship. The trick doesn’t seem so much to do with the people as it does the timing. It takes two people knowing what they want at the very same time to have any chance of moving forward in a relationship. Even if those two people decide at the same time they don’t want to be together, at least it keeps things moving.
He wants to be with her but she doesn’t want to be with him. Wait, no she does. She doesn’t. He doesn’t. They do. And around and around it goes. It exhausts me some days even hearing about it.
Most recently he has decided that he is done with the circles, done with her, but has not yet let her know. I told him that he needed to tell her, but of course he doesn’t. You know, just in case he changes his mind again.
While I remain in my calm, single moment, I embrace and look forward to more D-quips as his drama continues. Pure entertainment, because as everyone knows, relationship drama can only be entertaining as long as it’s not happening to you.
