VALENTINE... OR NOT

I have this theory... Don't hate!!! It's that simple but i can't help but hate this valentine... Just came back in from Victoria Island and i seem to have developed a new hatred for the colour red... In the almost 12years since i've been in Lagos, i've never seen Mega Plaza decorated for valentine. Well, there's always a first time and it seems like 2010 is it!!! The mall was decorated in red and white and i couldn't count the number of people that wore the colour. As a matter of fact, i saw a guy at Joy's birthday party in Lekki 1 wearing a white suit with a red t-shirt and red shoes... Dang!!! This is definitely Valentine on acid!!!
My sister was out with me and Kemi. Didn't bother to ask her why she was home... I just guessed the plans she had with her boyfriend fell through... Fortunately, we weren't the only single girls out and it gave me some satisfaction to see other girls out without men... Sounds a bit disturbing, i know but if my plans fall through, i'm happy to know that i wasn't the only one...
Don't know what i was thinking last night but i called Mr Man after one too many glasses of red wine... I had invited him to my friend's party but he decided not to come and didn't even call to tell me. He had to wait for me to call him before he told me he couldn't make it to the party. I didn't worry about it but later, i texted him to say i'd like to have sex with him to which he replied that he couldn't because he was in Ikeja. Called him when i got home just to have him place me on hold then started talking to someone about how he couldn't be with her because he wasn't the groom or blah blah blah... Normally, i'd hang up but i stayed on because i wanted him back... Because i missed him but i really shouldn't have bothered... He went on talking for about 2mins before he came back on... I asked him if i was supposed to have heard that and he said something in the lines of... Why should that be his problem? Hung up and sent him a text... Here's a word for you... ASSHOLE. That probably hurt him because later today, i got a text telling me he was drunk and couldn't be held accountable for what he says at that time and whatever which led to another text from me until he insulted me...
I cannot believe that i dated someone like that... I've never been someone who claims to be right when i'm wrong and even though i did somethings that were uncalled for in the less than 2weeks we were together, i apologized for them. Unfortunately, he is just a child who refuses to grow up. I guess that's what happens when you date someone younger than you are... The thing is we basically want different things out of a relationship... I want commitment (not marriage, don't get it confused) and he wants sex... He says i do not like sex but i beg to differ... He's not the first person i've been with and if i were bad in the sack, ex-boyfriends will not be crawling back trying to get in my bed... There probably wasn't chemistry... Like my sister said, he happened to be there at the time when i wanted to be with someone... I liked him, it happened, case closed... I wasn't even attracted to him until much later. I never should have bothered but i'm known to be an idiot at times...
My mother used to tell me that only a fool waits to learn from their own experiences instead of learning from the experience of others... I guess that makes me a fool............................
