"Im too experienced to be taken for a stroll. Im too experienced for someone to rock and roll. Im too experienced to be taken for a ride, and I know its not my foolish pride."
-Barrington Levy
Two months ago, I asked out a girl at a coffee shop down the road from my day job. I thought she was Persian based on her eyes, but when we started talking it turned out that she was originally from Afghanistan. Her family fled to India when the Taliban came, and she had only been living in Canada for less than a year. She was a 19-year-old Muslim. Growing up the way she did, she never had a boyfriend, and had never even been kissed. She was saving everything for the man she would marry, and she pretty much hated every guy that had ever approached her. I was the first exception.
Now normally if a girl is too religious to put out, I would smile, waste some time, leave, and forget all about her. But this was intriguing. She didn't want her parents or anyone else to find out she was dating a non-Muslim so she recommended we have our first date at my place and watch a movie. Because I have roommates she agreed it would be a better idea to watch it in my room. So she came over and we started watching the Exorcism of Emily Rose, when she asked if I could take off my shirt, so she could see the tattoo I showed her on MSN. I thought this was all pretty kinky, considering she was going against the teachings of her faith, and the fact she would certainly be killed in her home country for being with me, yet alone smiling at me at the coffee shop.
But the whole thing was strange. She made all these advances on me, yet when I'd make one myself shed turn away, "no please I'm sorry don't." I sat back, and watched the movie, but then she slowly snuggled up to me and felt me up. I tried again, and she would jerk her head away. This happened through most of the movie, with stupid pillow talk in between. She apologized to me, but said it was complicated, but to me it wasn't complicated at all. She had to resist, or Allah would send her to hell. I was disapointed and glad that her family was expecting her back soon. She told them she was at the mall. So I escorted her to my front door, and politely said, "look, I'm sorry. I must have misread your intentions. I dont think this will work. you and I want two completely different things." She started getting frustrated. It wasn't hard to understand the inner conflict for her. It was me, or her religion. And so we went up stairs and fooled around.
Now I know that most guys out there would love to be with a girl that has never been touched by another guy. Purity is a big turn on. But this chick was just too much of a virgin for me. Even her kissing was like a vacuum stuck to my lower lip. I had to stop before it got too far, because it wasn't worth it. Besides, I knew this girl would regret it sooner or later.
But she hasn't yet. She is infatuated with me. "You're not like any other guy I know," she says. But, I am. Somehow though I came off as Mr. Amazing, and now she thinks she's in love with me. I told her shes too young to know love. "How can a 19 year old be too young for love?" She asks. Well, I believe if you fall in love with me after one date in my room, it doesnt matter how old you are. You are too young to know what love is. And now she's gone stalker, so I had to block her from MSN, and I never go to that coffee shop again.
I learned two things from this. First of all, if she's a Muslim virgin from Afghanistan, break it off. She's crazy! Second of all, Purity is overrated. A guy like me needs to be with a girl who's been there, but needs something better. This chick needs someone as awkward and inexperienced as her.
