Sister Circle✔️

22. Boss Business

Sherry POV

She was going to need an inhaler after that tale her LS told her. How did Jill get into the weirdest situations with guys? When she was single and meeting guys, never did she run into the type of situations Jill had. She was so glad she found a good man in Donte and her search was over. If she had to go back out there in the dating world, she'd have to stock up on her batteries to keep herself satisfied.

Her LS was a virgin, so she guessed she did not have those kinds of problems, but as for her, she liked sex and saw nothing wrong with it. The next discussion for Sister Circle at the MAX house was dating and sex. It did not draw a big crowd as the body image topic, but still, their little house was packed.

She made sure they had brochures on safe sex, testing, all the STD info, and lots of free condoms. But she wanted to go deeper than that. Most of the students were of the age where sex was going to be a natural thing. If they chose to wait or if they chose to engage in premarital sex, it was their decision, not anyone else's. No judgment.

As always, the MAX ladies sat at a table in front of the gathered women. Sherry in the middle of Zavrina and Jill. The pledges were excused from the meeting because they were working on a project.

It was hard to get the ladies started on the topic. To ease into things, she started with the simple topic of dating while in college.

"I know most of you ladies have either started dating in high school or maybe you're new to dating in college. It's simple, dating is where you meet a guy you have an interest in and you go out, or hang out somewhere and get to know them. You can do the old-school dinner and a movie, or Netflix and chill...I mean the literal chill, not what they made it become."

A few laughed at that.

She went on. "But dating is hard. Real hard at our age. You know why? Guys. Better yet, boys. These boys don't want to quote-unquote date. They want to "kick it," she added the finger quotes. "And we all know what kick it means. Anybody in the room does not understand what it means when a guy says he wants to kick it with you?"

She looked around the room. She was sure there was some young freshman in the room, eighteen, maybe seventeen, that had no clue. They may not admit they did not know, that's why she was there to educate.

"I'll have to admit, freshman year, the smorgasbord of fine men here, and I was intimidated."

"You? Girl, you are flawless, guys probably were all over you," one of the girls in the audience said.

"Looks have nothing to do with dating. I mean, it does for attraction...but we like what we like. For instance, do we all think Jay Z is hot?"

"Hellll no!" Jill shouted out as a few laughed.

"Nope."

"Unh-unh!"

"He's cute to me, why y'all tripping."

"He alright."

"No, I don't see what Bey see's in him. Ugh!"

"See, that's the point. I bet Beyonce thinks he is fine, fine! The way she looks at him and loves him, she doesn't care what we think of her man. See, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you like, and what I like are so different. Some may find me cute, others, think I'm not. But that's an issue for another topic...you gotta see the beauty in yourself before anyone else sees the beauty in you. It's about confidence and working what you have."

"I want what you have Sherry!" someone said.

"Aaw, thank you. Ladies, that is something we as women need to work on. But back to dating. Anyone wants to add to the discussion?"
