Throughout our dating career there are many “the one’s” we
come along. There is the one that we date specifically because daddy doesn’t
approve. Maybe it’s because of his age or ethnicity, but this disapproval lights
a spark within that brings you closer. There is the one bad boy that attracts
the curiosity in the girls with a pure façade. As heavenly as the world you
live in thinks you are, you crave the need to experiment with the thrill of
darkness and the enticement of being something you’ve never been- bad. There is
the one you think you’ll always go back to no matter the circumstance even
after the break up ended dramatically when you were 17 over text messages. He’s
the one you exchanged “the box of stuff” with between your ever so distant
lockers as your classmates looked on with disbelief on their faces and gossip
uploaded with their thumbs faster than a game of telephone. We can all agree
there are endless one’s that each woman experiences a variety of throughout her
dating career, but there is a certain one I’m enamored with and it isn’t “the
one” either.
The one in which I have the greatest intrigue and admiration
for is the one that teaches us who we are. This is a very unique character
which I had the privilege of becoming acquainted with. For the women of my
generation I hope you become acquainted with your version of him too, but for
now I’ll analyze the qualities of this character…..
