My affair with Four Square took me by surprise. I’d heard about him. Heck, my friends had all dated him, so he couldn’t be that bad. But did I really want to jump on the bandwagon and be another notch in his interface? Did I want my friends and future children to know every detail of what Four Square and I had done together? That we stayed out a little too late on a ‘school night’ last Tuesday. Or that I really don’t ever cook dinner at home. And what happens when Mom and Dad find out I’m dating Four Square and lecture me about using protection and protecting my assets. Geez…the list goes on.

A glass of wine later and my inhibitions at bay, I flirted my way into his path and told him my name. And oh, the places we went. Our romance was a whirl wind. I couldn’t keep my hands off of him. And there wasn’t a friend (or stranger for that matter) that I met that I couldn’t help showing my new boy toy off to. The more time I spent with him, the better the gifts. He even made me feel like a queen and everyone around me knew it.

So what happened? Why are we on a break? Because there’s something to be said for showing a little leg and keeping it at that. I want a little mystery in my life. It helps keep the romance alive. My life was just too much of an open book with him and I jumped in too quickly. That and he shared TMI about what he’d done with my friends.

So although I haven’t ruled out drunk dialing him late one night, I’m definitely still on the lookout for someone a little more my type.
