Leanne: Too much of a good thing? (Rate Your Ex W/O)

The Bottom Line Lasts up to seven times longer!

The Set-up
This is part three of my four-part contribution to Updateghost's Rate Your Ex writeoff. It's weird, but so am I.

So I’ve been systematically going through all my relationships from 2005, starting off with Hazel and Jacqui. As I’ve explained before, I stole the rating system I’ll be using from my last ex (ironic, I know), but my actual final rating will pretty much be made up on the spot.

Anyway, number three (chronologically speaking) of my Women of 2005 was…


Leanne
By far the simplest relationship of them all, my relationship with Leanne was purely, or at least mostly, physical. We did like each other and we didn’t spend all our time getting it on, but still… She was an exchange student doing a project in my neck of the woods, we hit it off immediately, then we got drunk one night and ended up consummating our relationship on the balcony of her boarding house. After that, we had a wild fun time – everywhere, all the time, we even got caught in my supervisor’s office late one night by an undergrad who found it amusing enough that he teased me about it for the remainder of the year. Thankfully, he managed to graduate… When she left, we kept in touch for a while, but we both knew there wasn’t much point to it.

Quality Time: We spent most of our free time together. We drank and partied at pretty much every spot in Cape Town (though our best drinking was done in the varsity pub where some guy who was keen on her had given her permission to use his tab – a big mistake on his part, and he still doesn’t know quite how she managed to drink that much). We also just chilled around and watched TV sometimes. Even attended some pub quizzes and stuff.

Physical: She liked sex, and she liked lots of it. I’m a guy, so I shouldn’t complain, but geez… I was actually glad when she left, cos there was no way I could’ve survived another week of it. But hey, you gotta suffer for love, right?

Affirmations: We teased each other unmercifully, but we sometimes admitted we liked each other.

Gifts: We bought each other plenty of drinks. When she left, I gave her a bottle of tequila, and she gave me a camera, a book and some highly-incriminating footage. Good times.

Sacrifice/compromise/whatever: I sacrificed my valuable project time to feed her insane appetite. She did the same (not that I have an insane appetite, but… you know what I meant).


Rating: 3.5 stars
Why: She was hot, she was fun, and she was fun. Not the most culturally inclined, perhaps, but then neither am I, as far as I can tell.


What I learned: Stock up on creatine or energy drinks or something. There is such a thing as too-public affection. Relationships can be simple, but they probably won't make me as happy as I'd like.
