Campo folks don't date; we prefer casual sexual relationships.

I'm a petty fellow. Small things like campus boys who refer to ladies through unkempt phrases such as: 'hiyo kitu iko na haga bigi ni ya Denno lakini Voke anakulanga,' or 'hii nyama inapita wasee wengi wamedishi pia mi mpaka nidishi,' annoy me. Man!? Who raised you? Are your manners in your armpits?

University girls are not pieces of chewing gum on the shelf of your university canteen. They are not degrees from KU! Much as they need prayers and help, they deserve respect if and when you want to be in a relationship with them. And speaking of relationships, which is the best thing after ignorance and ill habits that we, Kenya's future, are experts on, I point out; being in a relationship differs from dating. I know dudes who are in financial relationships with their campus girlfriends. 22 year old man barters sex for pesa ya chakula, pombe even cigarettes. Tell me, don't we all know these trouser sagging big babies in second year who are baby seated by third and fourth year girls?

Then we have pretty daughters of God including light skins who are stuck to funny funny guys. The sort that believes chewing miraa, soliciting multiple casual sex, smoking bangi all day and that four guys drinking more than three mzingas a night is heroism. These sisters of ours are in an emotional relationship. They have daddy issues. Disremember that propaganda of an ex with a Goliath sized sword dangling in his boxers or try explaining the biology behind a hot girl who keeps going back to her unfaithful boyfriend. Is it bilharzia or adaptation?

In a nutshell, guys in campus don't date. We have sexual relationships. We have seasonal flings that begin with lust, get fuelled by curiosity, and find advancement through self-gratification then end when lust directs your eyes to another possible lover. Even a fool will think thrice before dating a dude who quietly refers to her by saying, 'nimeacha kitu yangu ya KU kejani.'

Couples who date are serious. They are faithful. They know each other's parents and family. Their shared life is based on maturity, selflessness and understanding. They wait for months before having sex. And they keep the pregnancy. They understand that when the third piece in a pack of condom is being used, the relationship is swaggering towards marriage. Okay, assuming you read all these and you are 'dating', are you certain you'd want to marry the fornicator you fornicate with?
