The Moo Cow Incident

In our dating life, there will always be someone who you thought was just too good to be true. Sure, they seemed gentleman like on the inside, but behind closed doors, things would get a little bit more onto the freaky side. Flashbacks coming back to you? Here's mine...

In my second year of university, I competed in a business competition where you were put into mock real-life business situations and you had to work with your team to achieve the best possible outcome. The competition itself was gruesome but the final result that you become so much more aware of your professional acumen and what you had to develop on. That and also you made at least another 5 new years. Thomas was one of those friends.

Now mind you, around this time was when I was in a relationship that was in its final days so any distraction that could help me feel better about myself was a blessing. A week or two after the competition, I had ended the relationship and was on the rebound...unintentionally actually. Thomas who had been my pillar for the few weeks took advatange of the situation and become my rebound.

We had a few chats, went on a few dates and things seemed to be going fine. He played all the right cards, was romantic, sweet, caring and sincere. But then when things got frisky, things actually got more freaky.

Now it's important that I describe to you what his room looks like. There's a double bed in the middle, a plush toy (a big cow actually) on the corner of the bed and the rest of the typical things you see in a bedroom. Oh and his room was just outside the hallway to go to his kitchen (he still lived with his family).

I'm not going to go into the details of 'the act' (it's more because there isn't much to report apart from major dissatisfaction as opposed to be not putting you all in disgust) but I will mention that before, during and after the act, he dog-talks to the plush cow. Not just a "hey what's up moo cow" but more like "who's a good moo cow?" tone. You know, the tone you give to your dog when you go "who's a good boy??" or "who wants a bone??". At first it seemed cute but then he kept doing it and that's when I started to really question if this is something I could put up with. Don't get me wrong, I like my guys to have a soft side to them, but when it's softer than me, there's alarm bells chiming nonstop.


Needless to say, I broke things off with Thomas after a few weeks since I ended up getting back with my ex but the real reason was that he just wasn't man enough for me (ohh I can hear all the guys going "ouch").

So ladies, next time you date a guy who seems way too good on the outside, see what he does behind closed doors before you decided if he's worth keeping around.

Until next time...
