Just Be Yourself?






 Hello blogfam...hp y'all are gud. Was thinking of something and I wanted to share it with you guys. Okay so am here debating about what to wear for a dinner date...yh I hv a date and it's a first....so I hv to choose wisely. Like its a proper restaurant...not like nandos or smethin, so I hv to dress smartly, but wt does dressing smartly mean....like I cnt just wear t-shirt and jeans...okay I get it. I hate dressing up...aargh. I actually caused this predicament for myself...we could easily hv gone to watch a movie.

Like should I be sexy on the first date and show some cleavage..maybe cleavage is not a really gud idea..I want us to have a proper convo..I dnt want him to not be able to keep his eyes on my face. Or maybe go for the girl next door look....like just a safe option..all buttoned up but then I don't want him to think am a prude, or that am boring....Also maybe piling up the jewellery might not be a good idea, I dnt want him thinking I hv the money miss road syndrome ...also nt too many colours..dnt want to blind the boy...gosh..so many options

Anyways all this debating led me to call my friend and she just made it worse by uttering these words 'just be yourself'....huh..wt does tht mean? Like I hear that a lot and I actually use to tell people tht too but it's not easy. If I was to be myself...I would be having the first date in a cinema with me wearing a top and jeans....okay if I ws truly being myself...I wud be huddled under my blanket sleeping cos it's too cold to be goin on a date sef. If I decided to go on the date as myself...I would be in flats or my boots....no heels.

Like I would really like people to explain what, just be yourself means....I really don't get it. How many ppl cn truly be themselves...like you go on a first date with the person....a girl might not want to wear make up but she has to, just to keep up appearances. Or like a boy tht invites you to his place..if he really wants to be himself...he wud rather watch super sports or play FIFA and eat left over pizza.

So my question is what does be urself mean and cn u ever truly be yourself when you meet someone for the first time.

And with all this story of life...still dnt knw to wear...oh well. Hv a blessed week guys

When Sexy Becomes Embarrassing




 Hey guys....have you heard Niyola's Toh Bad song ...love tht song. Makes me think...anyways moving on... Something happened recently and I want to share with you my blogfam

So because I hv bin feeling down lately...my friends dragged me out to a club and this one was like a proper club. It was fun and I was enjoying myself...then I quickly went to the bar to get myself a drink...ws waiting for the drink wen I turned and saw a cute boy...so I decided to try and flirt...you knw  the way they do it in movies na....well didn't knw it was a recipe for disaster.

So I started smiling at the boy..u know batting my mascara elongated eyelashes...giving coy smiles and flinging my weave even tho I was practically eating hair cos it kept entering my mouth... When my drink finally came..I decided I would sashay away and then give one last look...as I was giving one last look....I didn't look forward...before I realized wt was happening...I was on the floor wit my drink all over me. What I didn't realize as I was 'sashaying away' was tht there was a bar stool in front of me. Suffice to say I didn't see the boy again.

And as I was reminiscing in my room over my ruined dress...I just realized I hv never had tht much success bin flirty or sexy...am jst too awkward for all tht. I cn remember when I was still with Mr S...I cud nt even achieve tht fantasy of wearing his shirt...he was too skinny and I was too fat. Or you know the one where we are playing and I decide to like climb on top of him...well tht didn't use to turn out well...cos in tryin to manouvere...I will either start breathing like a horse or I get a muscle pull...loool and  we wud be both lucky if I didnt end up farting mistakenly.

So with the little success I have had trying to be sexy...I hv given up and I have realized you don't have to be sexy to meet 'the one'...if he's truly the one, he would love and find your awkwardness sexy but I definitely give it to girls that can be sexy and all flirty...good on u...it's a skill I wish I had.

Hv a grt week...wishing you guys a blessed week.

Things To Consider When Looking For 'THE ONE'




 Hey guys....hp you guys are good....time for another post yo. So I spent my weekend going through bellanaija weddings, marriage proposals and Nigerian wedding videos on YouTube...yh thts how I roll...kk nt realli bt those things make me happy cos its nice to see ppl excited abt the person they are abt to spend their lives with

Okay enuf with the story of life...bt trust me there's smethin to the story...it inspired this post. As I was reading and watching the proposal stories and videos and looking at the pictures...I realized in this my quest of finding 'The One'...there are some things to consider...so am goin to do this post in two parts...

The first thing to consider when looking for the one is to find someone that makes you happy, that makes you laugh...I know ppl think thts a cliche  bt it's probably the most important thing to consider. It's not like the person has to be a comedian bt he just has a great sense of humour and there's just easiness you feel with the person. Also you can fart and burp in front of the person and not feel like the world has cme to an end and I mean accidental farts oo...nt tht you shd be farting all the time ooo...there shd still be some air of mystery and class. 

So the second thing which is very important is you have to find someone that takes great pictures with you..trust me it's important cos you know your wedding pics are like forever...you dnt want to be crying everytime you look at the pictures...like all the pics I saw on bellanaija weddings...all the couples matched. You realli dnt want to be with someone that would make you look somehow in pictures...like you can't be fat and then be with a very skinny or small guy....so tht when you na take pics together...you would na look like his mummy... Nah thts nt cute.

Fat me now won't go and date a skinny person tht wud make me look like Oompa Loompa in my pics neither would I date a fat boy so tht when we na want to take pics..we would be struggling to fit into the frame. So see why you hv to find someone tht takes great pics with you...so tht when you finall get married..you guys can look great in your wedding photos.

Okay thts enuf stuff to consider for now...will continue part 2 later. Hp you guys have a grt day. Be positive and don't let the negative thots bring u down.. xoxo

The 21st Century Dating


 Hey guys....still trying to make up for lost time...so let's get to the second one.

Dating in the 21st century has got to be the hardest thing Eva....you would think with how open things have become and how fast life is...with all the gadgets, social networking but it's like people are still stuck in the Victorian era. I still don't understand why people play hard to get....it's like its worse in this century sef. If you know you like someone...why don't you just let the person know esp if you can see how much the person likes you back. Playing hard to get when you actually like someone just seems stupid. I don't blame ppl tht play hard to get tho...cos in this century being open about your feelings for someone can make you feel stupid or hv someone take you for granted.

21st century dating has become sad and painful to say the least...u know waiting for the ultimate text or like me tht I keep seeing my fone blink even wen there's no message. Or when you write a long epistle to that special somebody and you see them typing for a long time and then the msg comes back as 'kk'....very sad...lool. Also think abt all tht time tht you are not sure of when to reply...like shd you form and wait for 2hours or you put off your fone for like 2hours...thinking by the time it comes on..you would hv 10 missed calls and countless msgs from the 'one'...only the msg you get is from MTN....

Bt its funny tht even with all this heartache and stress...am still determined to avoid all the games and try and find someone that doesn't want to play games too...Life is already too crazy with all the other chaos going on...tht dating shd nt be one. If you like someone...tell them...add the kiss and hug emoticons.....don't panic...kk maybe panic a little...loool bt you would be fine....jst be open and you would find the 'one'.No more playing games guys.....

Crush Killers

Hey guys.....am back yo!!! You know hv bin hustling...kk thts a lie and I hv promised God I wud stop lying....hv actually bin feeling depressed...didn't know I was going to be so affected by the Mr S ish but am back ppl from my self-imposed leave. So let's get started.........

So I hv something I would like to share with you...you know how you get a crush and the butterflies plus excitement that comes with it....nice shey. But you know people can be crush killers sha, even me am guilty of tht...let me explain. u knw like wen u hv a crush on a guy and everything is going well until the person opens their mouth....and the person jst kills the crush.

 Like take this Sola guy I just met last month and he's cute, well spoken...not tht I wanted to date him but he was a welcome distraction from Mr S until he killed the crush....I went to the cinema with Sola and it was good until I got back home from the cinema and I got a message from Sola saying  'Mama I had a great day....emi Mama ke....so I asked him abt it and he was like you know you are chubby bt I like you like that....huh...the guy just murdered the crush.

So you guys know what am saying abt crush killers....you know when you meet a guy tht looks a bit older bt he's actually your age...you would na curtsey and say good evening...you hv killed the crush na. Like when i met this cute Nigerian guy in my new campus and we were checking each other out before I went into my class. later that day, we met on the on the train again, and he came to sit next to me and we started talking...and I had jst told him my name when i started feeling gassy....before I knew it...one very loud and smelly fart just cme out.....sorry abt all the descriptive words but I wanted you guys to knw hw I just massacred tht crush...loool..Suffice to say Mr train boy has avoided me since tht day.....very sad..he was a good prospect.

Anyways enuf with my crush killing abilities...hp you guys had a great sallah holiday and hp you are getting ready for the weekend. Hv a grt weekend ppl.

Break-Up Diet

Hey guys..hp you are having a grt week. First of all I hv to dedicate this blog to Lucy Meck and Sam Faiers of TOWIE....it's a British reality show. These two girls inspired this post and the break-up diet. Let me go bk a little..so u cn understand me...these two girls..Lucy and Sam just broke up with their boyfriends and immediately they went on a diet and started some exercises...nw they re the hottest girls in UK. So I decided to go on a break-up diet too...u knw tk my mind off MR S.

When I told a friend that am on the break-up diet..she found it funny cos most girls tend to get fat after a break-up cos they turn to comfort food but nt me....I think after a heartbreak every girl should get a makeover...u dnt want to be caught looking frumpy if u happen to run into your ex. 

I was already on a healthy eating plan b4 the break-up but nw this has intensified my efforts...more exercising and less sugar. The thing is tht Mr S and I both Iive in Bham...the Nigerian community is small and tight knit..so we are bound to run into each other...I dnt want to be looking like oompa loompa....u knw. Like check out Beyonce's mother...Tina Knowles....hv u seen her after her divorce...she looks amazing...thts the break-up makeover yo.

Let me clarify something, the break-up diet/makeover is not to win the boy bk...there was a reason the break-up happened. The diet is just to make u feel better abt urself and take your mind off everything....looking good and feeling good brings about confidence. I feel good with this my diet...I cn already feel the changes in my body and my mood has improved. I didn't go on a fad diet..I just made some healthy changes in my lifestyle. It's always great to look good for yourself....am sexy and I know it *dancing*


Expectations

Hey blogfam...hp you guys had a grt weekend. Last week I told you guys abt the sad demise of Mr S and I's relationship...very sad.

Anyways I didn't tell you guys, the root cause of the demise...it was due to expectations...yh expectations...apparently as a single girl in an unofficial relationship..I wasn't allowed to expect anything. So you know every girl has expectations whether you are single, dating or married...lets jst say everyone..whether you are a boy or girl. Like if you are single, you expect tht the boy 'toasting' you would show a considerable level of interest and if you are dating or married...there are certain expectations that you expect to be met.

You know hw I was all giddy abt unofficial relationships...well they suck...let me tell you why. If you are in an unofficial relationship, you can't have expectations...cos it kills the relationship. Wen I was with Mr S, I expected some things...calling me, wanting to see me bt apparently that ws too much for Mr S and he told me as much...he said you expect too much..and at first I didn't understand...why shd I nt have expectations...practically everyone knows us together..we know we like each, and I got confused.

But thinking about it tonite I finally understand...just because the boy likes u or u hv some mouth action with him doesn't mean u are together...until he ask if you wud be his girlfriend and u become official...then you can hv expectations...then if you don't hear from him for like a week...u hv the right to be upset. Being unofficial still means u are technically single...so you can't lay by demands or expect things. You hv to live with the mantra 'expect nothing'...cos when you hv no expectations...u wud be pleasantly surprised. 

Thanks to Mr S for telling me to have no expectations bcos it was the wake-up call I needed to get out of a stagnant relationship. So what do you guys think...expectations or no expectations

So am on a break-up diet..lool..would tell you guys all abt it in my nxt post. Hv a blessed week.

The Almost Girl-Friend

Hey guys...hp you guys are enjoying the new posts...so this is the third one I promised....after this, wud start updating regularly....first of all this post is dedicated to all the almost girlfriends, the almost fiancées.....the lord will grant u guys ur heart desires (Amen). I am not mocking anyone...am even an almost girlfriend sef...kk am sure u guys are lost...let me backtrack a bit.

So I came across a book recently titled 'Confessions of An Almost Girlfriend'...and I thot tht ws the funniest title I hv hrd in a while....An Almost Girlfriend and it dawned on me suddenly tht I am an almost girlfriend...so I realli didn't find it so funny again. Let me explain wt An Almost Girlfriend is...u knw wen u are with someone or u are supposed to be in a relationship but u are nt realli...u cn not boldly say I am dating this person...so technically u are single...so An Almost Fiancée is the one that cn see the ring in her future...future is even too far sef...she already knows the cut, the colour, the size of the diamond...she has even practiced all her expressions for saying yes but....the fact is tht there's still no ring on the finger.....then the Almost Wife..I think this is the saddest sef...the one tht has engaged for ages past...for like 10 yrs..

U know the saddest thing abt all the almost is tht they cn see their heart desires right in front of them...the almost girlfriends tht just wants the lover to ask out and utter those wonderful words 'Will you be my Girlfriend' and start a proper relationship...the almost fiancées tht just want to be asked the ultimate question...'Will you marry me' and Shebi I cn even relate with the almost gfs but I cnt even imagine hw the almost fiancées feel now tht Peter and Lola Omotayo hv tensioned them with Range Rover...abi is it Dr Sid tht whisked his babe to Venice and proposed there....plenrri tension. Then the Almost Wives tht they just want to say those great words 'I Do'.....very sad

Another thing is tht all these almost ppl...they are the ones tht knw all the family members and friends of their lovers.....and the family and friends know and love them but the lovers can't be bothered. When I was looking at the book, I just thot there are so many almost out there...like me. I was an almost girlfriend for at least 5 months...thank God I escaped early sef.....and I did all the responsibilities of a gf even tho I was not one...and when ppl ask are you single...just a simple question and you just see me giving them tales by moonlight.

Thinking abt it sef...those Almost Fiancées even hv a grt role model....in the person of Lola Omotayo....seriously she was almost fiancée for 8yrs....and see where she's in life now...she has moved up the rank to Almost Wife with a Range Rover....so don't give up....ur miracle is cmin soon

Anyways hp no one takes this too seriously....just kidding...just trying to poke fun at my almost girlfriend status. Hv a grt weekend blogfam

Taking it Slow

Hey blogfam...am so so sorry I abandoned my blog....didn't really abandon it tho, hv just not bin in the right state of mind...so many things hv bin happening bt am back for good yo. So to celebrate my return, I wud be posting at least three stories tonight ..so lets get started...so many things to gist you guys abt. First of all, congrats to Simi Osomo and Dr Sid...my fav celeb couple and then Peter and Lola Omotayo...finally they are engaged..good on them. Enuf with the famzing....back to reality 

So Mr S and I are going through a really rough patch...and I doubt if we can survive it...I dnt knw if I want to be with him...cos I just think we are at two different places in our lives and we hv really different goals. So today I kept thinking about what went wrong and I was reading a mag where a girl was saying the boy she is dating is a keeper but she wants to take things slow and wants to keep things stress-free and I just thot to myself I never understand what people mean when they say 'am taking things slow'

I really dnt understand, when you meet someone, how long do u take it slow for....like what are the dos and donts of taking it slow....like you hide your emotions from the person, you don't bother calling or checking on each other and you can flirt with other people...I think people just put pressure on themselves when you say you are taking it too slow...cos you start to double check your actions..like if u call the boy more than once a day..u are not sure if that's taking it slow...also you start to wonder when should you start getting serious and also if the boy acts nonchalant about the relationship...you sum it up to taking it slow.

I just think the taking it slow ish is just stressful and adds undue pressure to the relationship...I just think before you date someone, be sure you guys have a clear vision of what you guys want and if you know u dnt want to be serious..then both of u should agree. I think Mr S and I were already doomed from the start, we are both at different levels in our lives, yeah of course we wanted to take it slow in the beginning but after 7 months...u start to wonder if its not too slow.

I hp you guys understand wt am saying about taking it slow...nt that its not a good thing but its better to realize when taking it slow becomes an excuse for someone not stepping up to their responsibilities or when they just want out of the relationship and don't know how to say it.

So it's good to be bk and. ...oh yh happy public holiday to my Nigerian peeps...dnt knw if I cn say it like that but you guys understand what am saying sha... Hv a great weekend guys

Worst pick-up Line

Hey blogfam...hp you guys are gud...still celebrating my return to the blog after a long hiatus....So am continuing my pick-up lines series but this time am talking about a terrible pick-up line I heard and the worst place to use it

So two weeks ago, I went for a naming ceremony,am not really a fan of naming ceremonies...cos it's just long, then there are always pregnant women everywhere and I realli dnt like pregnant ppl...dnt ask why.... also they take forever to name the baby and in the end they give like twenty names...like realli..smh. Anyways I shd hv guessed Jand events wud be different from Nigerian ones....so the naming ceremony was realli cool and I was enjoying it until......

Okay when I was going for the naming ceremony, I obviously knew I won't find any single boy there..of course it's going to be filled with pregnant women, married couples and their screaming kids....this is definitely not the place to pick up anyone but obviously not everyone can be smart. That's how I ws helping manage the event and get everything set...makin sure the dessert table ws set...fav part of the event.... And then I saw a guy was staring at me in a creepy manner...he looked older than me bt I dnt hv a problem with older guys...and I looked ard...didn't see a wife or kids...so I just smiled at him and continued what I was doing

Five minutes after, I just hrd 'this can be us in the next three years...we naming our baby boy'....huh....I just turned and it was the creepy old guy...and I just thot to myself...realli...like inyama...hw disgusting... I was so shocked, I just smiled and walked away...nothin to say realli... By the time I sat at the table..he cme to sit wit me and I was already irritated...then he introduced himself as Lanre...I just said good for you....why someone would think the best place to pick up a girl is at a naming ceremony is beyond me and then hw u step up to her is to tell a girl you want to get her pregnant in the nxt three yrs...realli...I dnt knw hw boys think sha.

Anyways I just kept smiling at him and just stood up from the table....then I went to the toilet and and I met a pretty woman there and she was pregnant...bt my fear of pregnant women jst made me leave the toilet as quickly as i cme in..Few mins later, i saw the woman come in and I just hrd her say Darlin...guess who the Darlin turned out to be....the creepy old man...I swear down I cud nt even fathom why the guy wud want to cheat on his pregnant wife who...and the guy was still smiling at me even though he knw I had seen his wife. 

I had to just leave the ceremony cos the guy was just creeping me out and he's the worst kind...the kind tht doesn't mind cheating on his pregnant wife and nt be ashamed abt it...nd  cud still think tht the best way to pick up a girl is talking about gettin her pregnant...sad

So tht was my experience oo...but hv still bin trying out my pick up lines...wud gist u guys soon. Hv a grt weekend

The Pick-up Line 2: The Park

Hey blogfam...hp you guys had a grt weekend, my weekend was pretty eventful and now that am on break, I have bin going out more often.... so I decided to continue this my pick-up line ish this week...blame it on boredom but its also fun...

So I live around a park and as a Nigerian, I really don't get why ppl like to lay on the grass half naked...doesn't it itch them or to sit in the hot sun....living in NAija has exposed me to enuf sunlight to last for eternity...but I had walked through the park a day before and I saw so many gorgeous boys and they were shirtless with firm abs...am getting hot thinkin about it again sef *fanning*.

So I got an idea, this would be a great place to pick up guys...so I had my pick-up lines ready, so on that wonderful, sunny Saturday, I packed my lunch and a blanket, wore my short-shorts, so I cn showcase my wonderful legs, I got to the park and checked out the place, then I saw a  black guy who was shirtless and with fab abs and he looked Nigerian, so I set up shop beside him, I laid down, my pick-up line was goin to start with weather talk, cos everyone was excited about summer finally being here...

When I saw down, he smiled at me...I was like this is goin to be good, then I said something about the weather is lovely and then he just smiled, and I was thinking..talk na. Then I said my name is Jumoke and then my guy opened his mouth and started speaking French...loool...the guy is not Nigerian. Well since I cn only say bonjour and merci beau coup ....I decided to pack my belongings..there's no use forming am enjoying the hot sun. 

Bt as I was goin bk, I noticed a really cute Latin lookin guy who was reading a book, a David Baldacci book to be precise and thts one of my fav authors...so an idea came to me. The next day, I was already at the park bright and early with two David Baldacci and one James Patterson book...I had to be prepared and I planted myself near where I saw the Latin guy....nd one hour later, after sitting in the hot sun, he arrived..I already spread my books around the vantage points and I just laid bk wit my sunglasses and ten minutes later, someone tapped me and it was the Latin guy, and I just gave him my winning smile and he was like can I see one of ur David Baldacci books...of course u can and thts hw we started talking and now Lucas is my newest friend and I was right ...he's Latin...half Spanish and now we have a mini book club in the park.

So guys...another pick up line strategy has worked, its all about finding common interests....but u guys have to make sure he cn speak English sha...lool. Hv a blessed week guys

The Pick-up Line

Hey blogfam, hp you guys are gud and u are havin a wonderful weekend....mine is going well. So I did a really funny thing during the week and I just hv to gist you people. So You know how its only guys that can have pick-up lines and stuff, why can't girls pick-up guys too...so I decided to test the waters..this probabli goes a little bit beyond flirting...cos it's the girl that has to find a way to initiate a convo. So this how my research went..lool

Mr S is going to Naija next week, so we are spending some quality time together, so he came to see me during the week and we decided to go shopping....I hv been to the men's section of shops before but not in London....u guys I swear down that is the best place to pick up guys...loool..the men's section...fine boys everywhere. When we got to the shop, it was crazy, everywhere I turned, I saw a hot boy and all of them were well-dressed, I was just drooling. Anyways so I decided I wud cme back without Mr S cos he was just spoiling my vibe...I cud not mingle..lool

So I went back the nxt day, and there were still fine boys everywhere...so I decided to try this my pick-up line which boys use on girls, decided to reverse it nd use it, so I started checking out for prospects, we don't want the ones with girls hanging on their arms, I don't want to come out of the store with a black eye....

Then I saw one really cute boy that looked Nigerian, so I quickly picked up one really nice jacket, moved a little bit closer to the boy like I was looking for a shirt, then he looked at me nd smiled...first step initiated, then I turned and said Hi, am so sorry to disturb you but am trying to get something for my brother but am so confused cos this is my first time in this store and then everything looks really good...dnt know what to choose. Then he was like, yh it can get confusing, do u have an idea what his style is, I was like, he actually kind of looks like you and dresses like you..that's why I came to meet you...he was like oh kk, then lets get shopping...second step initiated yo...So this is how I met Seun...yup..he is Yoruba, he is so cool, spoke about everything while we were shopping and he doesn't have a GF *swoon....yes I found out with my detective ways.

So I tell you guys this pick-up line is tried and tested...feel free to use it when you can, I actually went bk to the store again, I had to make sure it works on all races...yh I knw..it's boredom ooo. I wanted to try it on a white boy and it worked on one of the two white boys....the second one looked so much like Justin Timberlake...tht kind of white boy hot...the first step was already initiated ooo, about to start the second one when I hrd someone call out honey...yes he had a girlfriend...*sad...but it's all gud cos I nw have my first white friend, its just that the first white guy I said I tried it on that worked...there's a little snag...he's gay...and my gay radar didn't go up ooo wen I met him....loool...just found out when I was talkin to him yesterday...I certainly know how to pick them....

So I have decided to start trying out new pick-up lines anything am somewhere and I see a fine boy and I would report back here the ones that work and the ones that don't....So blogfam, which pick-up lines hv u Eva used on a guy and vice versa.....

No Good Girls

Hey guys...hp you are all gud and hvin a great weekend..

So since I hv bin in Bham, every boy I meet keep saying the same thing, 'there are no good girls' and I find it funny and annoying because when boys meet good girls, they don't know what to do with them.Mr S was one of those boys that used to say that and he but I hp with me by his side, he has found a good girl and he knows it. *big smile*

Everywhere I go, I meet boys that say all I want is a good girl to settle down with but then I gt to know them better and none of them are ready.....they still want to flex and cheat...which girl would take that one. I used to think boys that school or live abroad are more sensible with their thinking, but I have to come realize, they are even worse than their counterparts in Naija...at least those ones are straight shooters.

The question I ask all these boys is that who is a good girl..wt makes one girl good and the other bad...and they all end up saying the same thing...a good girl is a girl that doesn't want money and doesn't  cheat but its so funny, that these same boys have good girls right under their nose and still didn't know what to do with them. Half of the supposed 'bad' girls...most of them became 'bad' because of boys...hw cn a girl be faithful to you in a relationship and then you screw her over by cheating on her and you expect the girl not to become 'bad' or damaged.

And I think most boys already stereotype a girl as good or bad...if a girl has a long weave, wears a short dress and speaks her mind, like she knows what she wants and says it...then she's probabli a bad girl but a good girl is one who is quiet, doesn't have extensions on and doesn't cause drama...yimu. Right now girls are not smiling, everyone knws wt they want...nd if a girl says it like it is...that doesn't make her a bad girl or a bitch...at least u knw wt u are getting with her.

So boys there are good girls everywhere...look and you shall find....nd when you find her..treat her with respect #shikena

Weekend of Life

Hey blogfam...hp you guys are gud. Something really funny happened to me over the weekend.

OKay so since I met Mr S, I don't really go out with other boys but last weekend Mr S was nt in town and a male classmate of mine invited me out, kk...so am nt really a fan of this boy, first of all he is shorter than me and then secondly he is brash and very Yoruba ish bt I was so bored, so I was like I would just go nd then in the club the music would be so loud, I won't hv to talk to him.

Then the day came, I dressed up, was lookin very hot, ws in my heels...trying not to fall and break my legs so wen I got into the cab, I was like where are we going...me I was thinking a British club with all the club bangers , I was already planning my dance moves in my head to Get Lucky by Daft Punk and Pharrell. Then the guy just said we are going to African Village...I was like say what...he said don't worry you would have fun...it's a cool Nigerian club...so I thot to myself it won't be bad to dance to wizkid and them ppl...so I started planning my azonto skills.

That's hw we just got to one dodgy looking place...At first I even thot maybe the cab driver was waiting for the light...no oo..we were at the club, the first thing I noticed was tht I was overdressed, everyone was wearing jeans and flats...so wen I entered the supposed club, everyone just turned nd was staring at me. Secondly, it looked like all those clubs that Old Igbo men go to, like the ones you see in Nollywood but I was like I won't judge by the look...am sure it would be fun. Then there was no space in the main club, so we had to go to the back of the cub where they put one tent like tht....am serious it was a tent and then last but not the least, they had cats everywhere..yh...mean looking cats that were just climbing my body. 

Then the tent they put us in...we were the only ones there...yh with the cats...the boy was like is this not cool...I was just staring at him...it's like I shd start cryin...Shebi I cud hv sat down in my house jejeley and watched Love and Hiphop....then the boy got me food but I cud nt eat cos the cats wud climb ur leg so they cn get to the food....at 1am, when some dodgy looking old men started cmin into the tent and I was the only babe, I decided to pack my belongings and vamoose...the boy was like how cme you are leaving so early...I was like I feel sleepy...

The nxt day he pinged me, he was like it was a crazy and fun night yh, so turnt up....turnt up ke..didn't even wat to say, I just sent tht creepy smile smiley cos I dnt think we went to the same place... I cud not even tell Mr S the horrible experience cos I already hyped the club ish b4 I went....when he asked me I said it was a crazy nite...tht I didn't get home till like 4am...when he asked me wat club I went to, I mentioned one cool club I saw by the roadside...loool....if only he knew

Anyways that's hw my weekend went oo...I just had to give u guys the gist. Hv a blessed week blogfam...

Why can't we all just get along

Hey guys....yh am bk to updating regularly...am on brk, so I hv no excuse. So I knw this blog is about my life as a single girl yh but am gonna divert a bit..so bear with me.

I have had a question on my mind all week and I cnt just seem to find an answer, so blogfam maybe you can help...and this question of life is Why can't we girls just get along and support each other?...I knw its really a question of life. Like I go on blogs, twitter and all you see is girls bashing each other, it's celebs tht even get the brunt of the bashing and I just think to myself, that you would think with guys always bringing us down already..we would feel the need to get together and support each other.

Like you read a story about like a female celeb or just a normal girl...the most insults come from girls...it may not even be a horrible story..it cud even be like a story about how the babe is doing well with her hustle....the next comment wud be so bitchy and insulting..why can't you just be happy for the babe.

Recently I was talkin to a female friend of mine, just gisting normally and then she's like have you seen this person and I was like, what happened to her..she was like she's bleaching and am sure she's a parol babe na....I cud nt even believe...thank God I knw the babe she was talkin abt...her pic was lighter than usual cos she filtered it on Instagram....jst see life.

U keep hearing its a man's world and then you see so called feminists arguing...the truth is tht it would remain a man's world until we girls stop bitching about each and work together bt I guess that mite never happen....so lets get used to living in a man's world then.

I hate long distance.....

Hey guys...I just watched 2face's rainbow video and its so nice....so sweet. Am sure Annie Idiba is the happiest girl on earth....I don't think I want a footballer husband again....I now want a musician husband cos I wud like to have a song and music video dedicated to me...lool. Enough with the daydreaming...time to get to business.

So now that am on break, I have enough time for my favourite hobby....thinking yo..and i am dreading this summer break because Mr S is planning on going back to Naija for the summer holiday and wont be back till September *crying* and me am stuck in Birmingham. The thing is even though we are not dating officially but we know we like each and we also spend so much time together that I cant even imagine him not here. God knows I hate long distance relationships...cnt deal, I like to be able to see the person I like anytime I want....and it's nt like we are dating ooo. 

My hatred and contempt for long distance relationship is a major reason why am still single, I dont want to be in the Uk and my bf in Naija...it's just not for me and I know it's nt like Mr S and I would be apart for long ooo...just 3 months but it still seems like forever. Couples that are in long distance relationships I believe are the strongest people ever...

Am also anxious...cos Iong distance relationships are the true test of commitment and trust in a relationship. I think the long distance ish plays on ur emotions and starts to make you wonder about the little things like he didn't call or not pick up when you call. Also it makes you learn not to be so dependent on your partner,  It's great to depend on ur partner and also want to be with them, but its great to retain one's personality and also be able to have fun without them.

But trust me, it's easier said than done...so now I have to find new hobbies...and you guys would have to keep me busy and help me through this long journey...*sobbing*

Anyways I just want to enjoy my last days with Mr S and we ordered a cake together...red velvet yo. And I just love how Mr S keeps referring to us in future terms...at least I know he expects us to be together for awhile. Hopefully, we can survive this long summer break.

So way do you guys think of long distance relationships...cn you have one?

The Little Things

Hey guys....am so sorry that I have not uploaded in such a long time...hv just not bin inspired lately cos hv not bin going out...hv just bin sleeping cos school is finally on break. Anyways I have something I want to share with you guys.

I was listening to Little Things by One Direction...lv that song and I started thinking about how its also the little things that get me irritated and also turn me off boys. I don't know if its because am getting older, so am more picky but even me myself think am crazy when I think of the things that irritate me.

One of my major pet peeve tho is boys that can't speak English...oh lord...I cnt stand it. If am talking to you and you gbagaun more than once...esp those obvious gbagauns that you know someone that speaks well won't make....I dnt care if u are the finest boy Eva, we are so done

Another thing that people might not notice but irritates the hell out of me, now this one might sound crazy but its people that don't know how to use phone smileys and phone language, I just met a guy recently and he can use all the smileys on earth, even when they don't make sense, then also he doesn't know how to use words like loool or brb....u knw those phone ish. He would write brb wen he is not going anywhere..like who does that.

Then another one is not putting things back where they belong, Mr S drives me crazy with this habit, he would take something from somewhere and then he doesn't put it back, this might seem insignificant but for someone like me that has a little bit of OCD, I get crazy when things are not in place....ppl shd learn to put things back where they found them...it makes it easier to find them when you need it. 

Also maybe this is not so little, but I hate arrogant boys...yh that's probably every girl's pet peeve, okay you know there's a very thin line btw confidence and arrogance, every girl loves a confident boy, u know the swag, the way he carries himself and his personality but you know some boys tend to over-step that line. I can't stand boys that think they are confident, but in reality they are just arrogant and you know the funniest thing is that it's boys tht have nothing that tend to be arrogant, they are the ones still living in their father's house and driving their father's car...so why are u arrogant and then it's also always the ugly ones.

Am sure some people would be like if u love someone, you should be able to accept their faults, yh most def but I don't think I can love someone that can't speak English or spell correctly...cnt do it mehn...my love is not that blind ,it just wears rose-colored glasses,  so that i can at least accept Mr S' chewing gum habits, I tune the sound out and just smile at him. As I have gotten older, some of my views have changed, I can actually date a boy that snores but not one that snores like a tractor ooo...am talkin about the cute, light snores.

Anyways, some people think am just picky nd crazy, what do you guys think...is it not those little things that irritate you about boys.

Too Comfortable

Hey blogfam...hp you guys are good and you are having a great week...me am battling with my assignments...that's why am awake at 4am blogging

So I don't know if its me that has issues but I want to talk to you guys about smethin....Mr S and I are doing pretty well as I said in my last post but I think we are getting too comfortable with each other...like am more comfortable with my morning breath ard him, he has seen me without makeup and have seen some his annoying habits like the way he chews gum...annoying sounds...i just want to slap the gum out of his mouth but i still like him.

Its not like being comfortable is a bad thing but you know when couples get into this rhythm and then start taking each other for granted....like you guys get too comfortable and then the efforts stop. So something happened recently that I have not been able to get off my mind....Mr S talks to me like am one of the guys...like am his G..loool

That's how two nights ago I called him and he just finished watching football...maybe he was on a football high...I don't knw sef bt his friends were saying something and that's hw Mr S just said I go buzz u later...hian...he said that's not what he said but that's what I heard sha....and that's not the end oo

When he called me last night, as we were ending our convo, what wud Mr S say, I just wanted to hail you...emi niyen oo...he wanted to hail me. I just think a boy speaking pidgin to a girl is just treating the girl as one of ur bros...so boys that's a little hint for zoning...if you want to zone a girl, start speaking pidgin to her.

Lastly, wen I saw him, he burped in my face while eating...kk don't let me exaggerate...he didn't burp in my face but he burped sha and it was not a graceful one....why would he burp...I knw I sound crazy but we are not at level of comfort yet...I don't fart when am wit him, at least if he had to burp, he shd hv done it gracefully. I cn only deal with one annoying habit at a time and I already hv tht with the chewing of gum but the ungraceful burping is a tad too far. 

Am sure some people are going to think am crazy but am I really?, don't you think sometimes couples get too comfortable with each other and then efforts at making each other happy and keeping the romance alive dies.....nd then the relationship just starts goin downhill

Dnt worri am nt going to leave Mr S because of his ungraceful burping and his gum chewing habits but I hv told him if he talks to me in pidgin again, he is on his own

So what do you guys think....am I crazy or is there a the comfort level that can become annoying?

Advice for A Reader

Hi guys, so I got this mail from a reader who has sent a story about a Jerk in her life before...u cn read that story here if u haven't http://theverysinglegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/jerk-6-mr-f.html . Now she is in a happier place but she would like u guys to advise her. I know this is not a 'relationship' website per se but please read and advise her. Thanks

 Hi Jumoke,
Thanks for publishing my experience with Mr F. Now I've found the love I've been seeking but I'm in a dilemma, Finally,  someone who really cares about me asked me out last month, we have been friends for years though and, I was on top of the world. *shey I thot it would be harder*

Two weeks after agreeing to date him, I have lost all interest, if he doesn't call, I don't care, even if he pings, I don't feel like talking to him; I'm not as free as I used to be and I'm scared I might do the wrong thing for him to leave.

Sometimes last week, I asked him to leave me that I wasn't interested anymore and he had every reason for me to make him stay whether I wanted or not. I know I'm not treating him well and he's really trying.

I just dunno what's wrong with me or am I struggling to let go of the hurt? What can I do? I really don't want to hurt him and my mind is totally off.

Official or Unofficial

Hi guys, I know its bin a long while....so sorry but I have been so busy with school work and also had writer's block too but have finally broken the block...whoop!!!! So if u are an avid reader of this blog...you would know I have bin talking about Mr S for a while now and things are actually going really well.

So I went to visit a friend this weekend and we were just gisting when she asked how is ur boyfriend Mr S and I quickly told her he's not my boyfriend oo..we are just hanging out. I know my friend was just asking an innocent question and its easy for her to assume he is my bf especially with the amount of time Mr S and I spend together. Also its not like I dont want to date Mr S, its just that we have not had that convo....and I started thinking, how long should we be together for, before the convo happens...is there a set amount of months?

I miss those teenage years, u know when everything was just easy breezy *covergirl*.....that as long as u hold hands with a boy, or u guys talk all day and stuff...u knew u guys were boyfriend and girlfriend even without saying it..even if u guys didn't last long...at least u guys were sure of what you were.

There are signs that might suggest Mr S and I might make it official, we spend so much time together and we dont get bored with each other..he understands my sense of humor and makes me laugh..trust me that's hard. Also being official would make things easier..u know there are somethings I would like to talk to him about but then I cant because we are unoffcial..I dont want it to seem like am being pushy.

But I somehow like the fact that we are unofficial, cos I think labeling relationships sometimes destroys the easiness and fun...cos then you start to see and pick faults, also wen the guy doesn't do somethin that u know a bf should do...u get upset unlike when you were unofficial.

Anyways I would love to date Mr S, but we are in such a good place now, that I would just like to leave it like that. Am sure if we end up becoming official..it would be because its the right time and not because of the pressure to label the relationship.

So what do you guys think, how long should you wait to label a relationship after meeting someone  and who should bring up the topic

The Older Man

Hello blogfam..hp u guys are good nd u hd a great weekend...my weekend ws jst bleh. Anyways I hv gist for u guys..smethin happened to me tht got me thinking...as usual. I was with a friend in her house when two of her male friends came over and one of the guys was like looking at me sha..eyeing me yo..kk me too I was eyeing him sha... he was cute, dark, tall and well dressed..

Lets call him Mr T, so we started talking, he was realli cool, spoke good english and was pretty funny...anyways since that day we have bin talkin and its actualli good cos he takes my mind off Mr S...kk..the but is about to drop...He is 37yrs old..so thats like 13yrs old than me...

So I started thinking, can I date an older guy and I dont mean like two or three years older...i mean like ten years older. I dont know if its only me, I find older guys really sexy...the ones that dont look their age oo and are still very cool. I think older guys actually make good boyfriends, cos they know how to love, treat you right and also handle every drama you give them with sense. I dont know if its cos I just met Mr T, thats why am thinking like this but I think I hv always liked older guys.

But with our mentality in Naija, when you are with an older guy, everyone thinks you want his money, and I doubt if my mum would be so excited if I date an older guy, but the ish some older guys look way better than the younger ones but there's a downside to dating older guys, like am not yet dating Mr T and I feel constricted by the respect and age issue,like there are somethins I would have joked with a younger guy about and maybe even call him like olodo or something funny...I just feel like I cnt do that with Mr T, cos he would get upset.

Anyways I still find older guys sexy and am having fun with Mr T...you never know where it would go........

So what do you guys think...can you date an older guy?

Jerk 9: Mr B



                

 Hi guys, its bin awhile I have posted on the Jerk series...so this is a reader's story about one of the jerks she has had in her life.

                                          THE BEGINNING 

I do have a Mr. A but that’s a story for another day. So I met Mr. B after Mr. A recklessly broke my heart and was begging to come back. I was in a very vulnerable position and I was having a perfect hatred for the male specie. Mr. B was older than me reasonably so I took him to be responsible.

One night in my sad moment of heart break; I put up a BBM status that got Mr. B’s attention. I was really sad and needed someone to talk to so I told him about Mr. A and ironically he made me feel better. Still I saw Mr. B as nothing other than an older friend. But then he began to chat with me every night on BBM, my single ladies please what do you expect a sister to think?

He was acting in suggestive ways. So, to save myself from hanging on a scale; and taking Pastor Bimbo Odukoya’s advice (May her blessed soul Rest in Peace). I asked him categorically “Mr. B what are we doing?” “And then he asked what do you want? Do you want more? Obviously I liked him but I refused to budge. After a while I said yes that I liked him. All this while, it was still BBM parole oo.

He said he liked me too and he wanted us. And he said and I quote ‘we are friends but we can be more” That was obviously raising my hopes. We began to talk a lot, We even ended our discussions with ‘I love you’ and how we would kiss when we finally met. I was in heaven my lady. I felt good that he was an adult and would be better than Mr. A. We even had fights like we were a couple.

He told me about his past relationship and the babe left him. He also told me that all his friends who are females, he usually had a fight with them because they always wanted more but I was different. I should have taken a cue I know, but he told me I was different. Finally we met and talked and still continued our BBM relationship, till I traveled out of the country.

Then again to make sure I wasn’t dulling myself I asked once again ‘what are we doing?’ He said we are friends but we can be more. He said he wanted to be sure I was over my ex so he didn’t bear the troubles of another man. After about 7 months of this roller coaster, I asked this dude that I am tired of all these rubbish and we should categorize what we were doing.

Then he began to say rubbish that we were only friends and we couldn’t date. That’s how my head scattered. I asked him, why were you leading me on all the while? Why would you tell a girl you could be more and so many things when u were never going to move on with her. I was really angry and once again disappointed. I trusted a man again.

Then this wonderful man told me to be glad that what we are fighting about is why he was leading me on. He told me that if he was like other guys, what we would be talking about now that I am out of the country is how good the sex was. He said because he would have taken advantage of me and slept with me and moved on to the next girl once I traveled.

As a result, I was supposed to thank him, really in all my life, I have never felt so insulted.... never ever. Although he apologized days later and said he didn’t mean it that way, I see no other way he would have meant it. The one thing I have inferred from it all is that he was using me for emotional fulfillment. He wasn’t going to be in a relationship but he wanted to keep acting that way. I am sure he has moved on to the next lady though (and I hope it’s not one of you readers.). 

The shocker is that I still talk to him once in a while, I still talk to Mr. A too because I am usually bored in this country. Mr. A still begs to come back but the only chance he has is the chance of snowballs in hell or if an Angel speaks to me. However ladies, I still believe in love. I know there is a man out there who has some sense; I shall just wait on God this time. 
  
I am a single lady and this is my motto now: DANCE! YES! LOVE NEXT!
                                               
                                                        THE END 
 This is just a typical case of leading on...its not just right. So what do you guys think?

'Dramatic'


 Hey blogfam...wts happening...its bin awhile and have missed you guys. So lets get started and do what we do best. So I was lying on my bed some few days ago and doing my best hobby...thinking. Now that I have bin dating a lot and just going through the journey of dating...I have met so many guys that always say something that annoys me and that is 'Girls are too dramatic' ...I hate that statement so much and I have bin hearing it a lot.

First of all...I need guys to classify and clarify what 'dramatic' is because I think guys mistake dramatic with nagging. Just because a girls wants to talk doesn't mean she is dramatic, I think its better guys start to realize that girls and boys are different with the way they express their emotions..guys can afford to shut themselves out and act normal even when they are feeling emotionally down but girls like to express their emotions, they like to talk...so if thats bin dramatic..then oh well.

Then another annoying thing is when girls because they just really want to have a bf so badly would na say 'am not dramatic...I hate drama'...*yimu* I think girls that say that always turn out to be the most dramatic ones. Guys have to realize that drama is what makes we girls interesting...its the dramatic and emotional side of a girl that makes us the great lovers we are.

I think this dramatic issue too comes out also when a guy knows that he has done something wrong and the girl just wants to talk...then the dramatic allegation comes out. Abeg if guys cant stand the drama we girls have, then they can have gay relationships *shikena*. Also guys should make sure they clarify the difference between nagging and dramatic...being dramatic is not we girls nagging.

Am very passionate about this dramatic ish cos I used to distance myself from bin dramatic nd all bt then have come to realize I am dramatic and that doesn't stop me from bin the best girlfriend ever. I think every boy should just remember the drama DNA strand in us is what makes us fun and great, and relationships would be so boring without all the drama. Like guys just think back to all the angry sex you have had because of the girl bin dramatic..was it not like the best #okbye

So what do you guys think... Do you think boys dont know the difference between being dramatic and nagging?  And is bin dramatic not fun?  is it not what makes us the best.

I would like to wish my darlin friend Onome a happy bday and he's a big fan of the blog and also an inspiration...hp you have a great day.

Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid



Am back...am feeling a bit down today..so have decided to cheer myself by blogging..hence the two posts...So you guys know have bin exploring my single life and just trying to have fun and I have bin hanging out a bit with Mr S...somethings happened recently that got me thinking....yh as usual.

I was thinking that there are some things that should be left unsaid or undone...let me explain..you know when you meet a guy and you like him..and then you are chatting and you feel tempted to ask him what he likes in a girl or the brave ones would ask what do you like abt me...or is it only me tht does that, I know I always ask tht question anytime I like a guy..what do you like in a girl and when he says those things...I start sifting out qualities i know I have in my head just to see if i have a chance...I know I hv issues

But recently, I learnt its not the best thing to do...now that we are in an era that guys have the big bum fever....hmmmm...I feel a bit insecure cos if you like someone as honest as Mr S..its a bit of a problem...I asked Mr S that question and he named some things..then he said before, I used to like girls with big bums but now am just about the inner qualities of a girl....well my heart sank a bit because I have a pancake bum..yes its that flat...poor me and anytime maybe am watching tv or walkin on the road with Mr S and I see a babe with a big bum....I start to feel uncomfortable but now I have told myself If Mr S leaves you for a girl with a big bum..then he was not the right person.

Another thing is dont go through a guy's phone because if you are not ready to find something wrong in your relationship..dont go searching...kk..wait let me rephrase....you can go through a guy's phone if you are suspicious about something but be ready for what you find. Something like that happened to me recently, I dont go through a guy's phone..i really dont have that much time but I got suspicious about something, so I decided to check it out and the things I found were dodgy....

I didn't want to confront him at first but when he became defensive and dramatic...I told him about it...he was upset about me going through his phone at first but he calmed down and apologized but even though everything is fine..sometimes I wish I didn't go through the phone. So blogfam, if u are not ready to leave that bliss of ignorance and you feel secure in your relationship...dont go through phones but if you are suspicious...check it out

Have said my piece and I feel happier alreadi....so what do you guys think....are somethings better left unsaid and undone


Guys dont know what they want

Hi guys, sorry abt not posting for awhile.......its bin a long month....cnt wait for May to come, I lost my phone on my birthday...cn you imagine...saddest day of my life but Mr S and my bestie Bimpe helped make it a great day.

But am still trying to cope without my fone, anyways lets get down to business...u knw nw that I dont have a phone...I hv so much time for my fav. hobby...thinking...Boys are actually the ones that dont know what they want

So yesterday night I was talking to a male friend about my match-making business, yh I hv decided to start match-making people...nd this idea was borne out of boredom...like me I have even found Mr right sef.  So I was like asking him what do you want in a girl and he was like she should be nice, kind and I was like thats all? and he was like oh she should have a big ass...and I just thought to myself I knew it...so I asked him If I found a pretty, nice and kind girl and she didn't have a big ass, you wont date her and he was like I dont know ooo
.
And that made me start thinking, everyday you hear boys complaining, girls are hoes, they dont want love...blah blah but then these are the same boys that wont look for the proper qualities in a girl...its big boobs and big asses they would be looking for up and down...I understand boys have specs and the physical attraction is important but its not every boy that is going to get girls with big asses....sometimes Mr S annoys me too because he would see a picture of aa girl with a big ass and say 'Damn look at what she is carrying' *rme* and I have just a moment of self pity because am like me with my pancake bum...is that I dont have hope but then I really dont care

Physical attraction is important but then its the inner qualities that is going to keep a relationship together....boys should stop saying they want a nice, lovely girl but then they ignore the nice and lovely girls they see because she doesn't have big boobs or ass...When you go for the physical qualities...dont complain when you get what you had coming.

So do u guys agree with me that guys never really know what they want....

Does Size Really Matter?



 Hello blogfam, hope you guys are having a great week...all am doing is counting down to my birthday. Am sure i can guess what went through your minds when you guys saw the topic but its not that thing.

So I have been hanging out with Mr S for quite a bit now....just figuring out stuff and having fun. On one sunny day that I was in his house, we were with his friends and we were just gisting about stuff, when a friend of his got back from the gym and the gist turned to weight matters....instantly the convo became awkward for me, the guy was talking about how he saw some fat girls at the gym, and then all the boys started talking about they can't date fat girls and stuff, then Mr S decided to make the convo more awkward by talking about an ex-girlfriend that went from a size 10 to size 14 and was hiding it from him....i knew he was not saying it to hurt me but I still felt hurt.

This convo was awkward because am a size 16, so I see myself as a 'plus' size and then the guy I like is saying that a size 14 is too fat...I have actually been working on my weight since I got to Jand and am actually two dress sizes down but because of the awkward convo, I decided to increase my exercise classes, so I went for a two hour session and I have not recovered.....my body is killing me, I cant even talk or laugh....thats hw serious the pain is....all because of man *smh*

So while rolling on my bed in pain, I started thinking does size really matter? like skinny and slim is the new sexy.......so are they saying fat girls are not sexy and cant find love abi? I have actually had boys tell me they cant date me because of my weight, it has made me depressed but also resolute to embark on a weight loss program....its not for the boy but for my health and also to feel better about myself.

I dont think size should ever matter in relationship, yes you can encourage the person to lose weight for their health but never make the person feel inadequate or unloved because of their size, I have actually had friends that their boyfriends have broken up with them because they gained a little bit of weight. I understand boys have specs but trust me physical features are not everything in a relationship. I think you should be able to love someone for their personality and not for their body size or shape.

So am writing to you guys from my bed, still in serious pain because I wanted to go from Size 16 to 14 overnight *sigh*......I dont know who sent me. I just want everyone to embrace their bodies and be grateful to God for what they have. If you want to lose weight, do it for your well-being and health, not for anyone else.

So what do you guys think....does size really matter?

I Know What I Want

Hi guys, happy new month...and am so excited its April cos its my birthday month...whoop whoop. So I would be expecting some presents y'all. Enuf about wonderful me...lets get started on today's post.

I was talking to a male friend some days back and he kept saying something that annoyed me and its a statement so many guys say...can you guess already...'Girls don't know what they want'....I so hate that statement.

I think that statement is just what guys use to justify their actions when they do something wrong...so I decided to talk about it today, so that people won't say am making general assumptions...have decided to talk about what I want...even though I would still make some generalizations.



Every girl wants the same thing in a relationship or at least we have similar wants....for me in a relationship, I want trust, love, security, commitment.... I want a boyfriend that won't screw around, that would love me for who I am and who would push me to succeed....see guys that wasn't hard. Trust me 90% of girls want the same things I listed here...they just want to have a good relationship...a wonderful guy, we might be dramatic at times but that's why guys love us...it would be such a boring relationship without the drama...don't you think.

I think most times that guys make the statement of 'girls don't know what they want' is when they are about to do something wrong or when they have done it...then they start to make that statement to shift the blame to the girl...so that it seems like the girl's behavior pushed them to do what they did. I agree that some girls may not know why they want but those are the girls that don't want a relationship.

Girls who are ready for a relationship know what they want...I think it also scares guys when they know a girl knows what she wants because they know they can't afford to make a mistake. So guys stop generalizing....Girls know what they want even the ones that don't want a relationship still know what they hope to get from whatever situation they get themselves in. All a girl would ask is to be faithful, love her, trust her and be there for her. It might not be easy to get all these things but in the end...these are the end goals.

So what do you guys think....do you agree with me that girls know what they want or disagree that girls dnt have an idea of what they want

From A Guy's Point of View Part 2

So our relationship went off to a great start, we were an item, we were seen everywhere, went everywhere and we were the envy and admiration of all cause I was quite popular… the first three months were bliss, I met her parents and instantly her mum loved me, collected my number and was always calling me. Then the war started or should I say the turbulence. she started chatting with her Ex who was in Abuja I didn’t like it but I wanted to trust her wholeheartedly and give her, her space so I just warned it could backfire ooo.. 

At my back they were rekindling their love and he decided to come over for a week, unfortunately he had an accident, which made my girlfriend withdraw from me, all along I didn’t know this till I went to meet her and confronted her that our relationship was suffering. Then she opened up about the friend having an accident but didn’t tell me they had rekindled their relationship until I took her phone and saw their shared text messages… I was heartbroken, when I confronted her she shrugged it off till I pressed harder and she confessed I felt bad, this was another sign, SIGN 4, but I didn’t heed the warnings I forgave her, she forgot him, and we moved on . 
She started behaving nonchalantly about the relationships and I started seeing different text messages from different guys, when I couldn’t take it anymore I ended the relationship, that was going to be the first in a series of break ups and make ups.. She called me back after a week and we made up but she got from bad to worse, she started going on wild cruise, with different guys but I couldn’t do a thing because I loved her, loved her family and couldn’t just see her leave cause she meant everything to me. The next thing that started was she would tell me she wants to read when I call her and tell me to take a stroll with her friends and then go out with some other guy, it was terrible when my friends started seeing her in different guys cars when I had informed them I was going to see her or when am with her friends one day I caught her red handed and we broke up again. We made up after 3weeks. 
Then this time she was seeing an actor behind my back bearing my name it was bad when I found out, very bad. my friends told me to leave her for good but I couldn’t I was hooked, I fought with some of my friends on the issue and lost many girls that would have done anything just to be mine cause I was in love and the person I was in love with ,wanted me but still wanted to have fun at the same time.
The final nail on the coffin, was when she told me she kissed my very close friend. I thought that was all, I could forgive that till one of my friend told me that our friend actually slept with my supposed girlfriend. I was dumbfounded cause my friend would not lie to me and when I asked her she didn’t deny it though she didn’t say  anything. That was it, the final straw I couldn’t go any further anymore. I was done, and I wasn’t going to date anymore in my life. 
3years down the line am dating again and the irony is tolu sent me a message on Facebook and said she wanted me back and regrets everything she had done in the past but it’s a case of being too late. It’s over now and thinking about it now I thank God cause she taught me a lesson and I appreciate love more contrary to what people might say after reading this, and I appreciate people that show true love and I try to give it back in return.
                                                              THE END 
Hmmm....I dont even know what to say. Would just wait for you guys to comment....so wt do you guys think about this story?

Jerk 8: From A Guy's Point of View

 Hello everyone and Happy Easter!!!
So I got this from a male reader and he said he wants to show us that girls can be jerks too....so here is his story..its pretty long so I decided to break it into two parts...Enjoy
                                                  
                                                    THE BEGINNING
It all started in University of Lagos, guest house the Department  of Architecture had their barbecue night close to the swimming pool I was reluctant to go but I was bored and my friends were persuasive, so I decided to go, this was in 300Level first semester. when I got to the place I started looking around to pass time since I didn’t drink and the chicken/suya wasn’t ready. My eyes stumbled on the most beautiful face ever I never knew that meeting was one I was going to regret later in the future. She was beautiful, had an innocent face, had a blue contact on and had my heart skip, but the sad part was she was with some other guy, now am the kind of person that doesn’t go after someone’s girl but she was different and I at least wanted to know if they were going out for real or they were just great, I was seriously hoping it was the later. So when the guy stepped aside to probably go get something I made my move, which was propelled by my friend who told me to make the move that what would I lose, the highest I would get is a NO. So with my heart skipping I approached the goal.
  
Finally I was in front of her and I said hello faintly, she sized me up, looked me up to down and said the coldest HI, I had heard in a while..lol.. so I told her I loved her contacts it rhymed with her face and to be honest with her, she had the most beautiful face I had ever seen and this was not a line I picked up just to use to get to her, she smiled and from there we started discussing on different topics from likes, to school, to hobbies and finally I asked the question on my mind all the time. ‘Is the guy with you, your boyfriend’, she laughed and answered he was only a friend that wanted something more but she cant go out with him, just passing the evening with him cause she was bored, I should have seen the signs then, but I was too blind to see. So we talked till the supposed friend came back.. seeing his angry face with chicken laps in his hand and a drink, which I obviously knew was for the girl, I told Tolu (that’s the name of the girl) I had to take my leave but she objected sighting the fact she was enjoying my company but I wasn’t ready to ruin any guys  day or night I rejected and left.

After such a night I felt so good Infact I felt great but the problem was I never got a number cause the guy didn’t allow me flow to the end..lol.. and I was too intoxicated by the tingling of my stomach, that it didn’t come to mind to ask. So my job the next day was to find her in my faculty cause she was in Zoology and I was in Genetics, but a search I thought would last highest a week, continued for a whole semester to no avail but I couldn’t get her off my mind, so the following semester I went to do my IT in General Hospital, tried going on dates with other girls but they didn’t just click for me.
Then one night at the office, I was chatting with a friend on Facebook I had not talked to for a while, she was in Babcock. we went on and on and started my flirting skills on her at least maybe something would come out of it, besides the medical students at the teaching Hospital were either not fine, not ready for a serious relationship or engaged so it was no use. As the discussion continued with the damsel, one thing led to another and we talked about my school, she now told me she has a friend there in Zoology, this statement caught my curiosity and TOLU came to mind, so I asked what is the name of this friend of yours, I was really hoping it would be the same person, and then she replied Tolu, okay I was so shocked but then it dawned on me it could be another Tolu, but my problem was I didn’t know the surname of the mysterious girl, and didn’t know if it was the same person, so my BU friend told me the surname of her Tolu friend and I told her, rather begged her to give me the number of her friend but it didn’t go down well with Sola my BU friend cause she was already liking the attention I was giving her. It took me 3days to get that number. 

After getting the number I called the next day, obviously she didn’t remember me again cause it was over a semester and few weeks since we last saw. So I narrated the story of how we met, and everything but my initial magic when we met didn’t work through the phone cause she was cold through out the conversation. After 3months of trying to be her friend cause am not a guy that gives
up easily she finally started warming up to me. So we set on a day to meet and talk. That day finally came , I went to the popular Huskis at New Hall to meet her, as usual for most ladies she came late, 15minutes I wasn’t too upset cause am sure she was thinking about loads of things and maybe she was having second thoughts. When she eventually met, we ordered for drinks which I paid for.lol. and then we started talking and in next to no time my charm got to her and she was giggling, laughing and blushing but I never made my intention known at all cause I wanted to be sure I liked her for real not just some infatuation and she felt the same way too. But in the midst of the fun and all her friend came, and told me straight to my face, her boyfriend was waiting for her, I was dumbfounded but this was another sign that I should have paid more attention to, I was so shocked, but Tolu begged me and told me her friend was just looking for a way to get her away from me, that they had both planned a rescue plot in case I wasn’t fun to be with and all. I laughed though it wasn’t funny and the friend was insisting tolu followed her, instead of dragging the case I told tolu to follow her friend that we would see another time. 

So after the episode I called some of my girlfriends in Law to help me search the background of tolu and everything I needed to know, I called them ‘THE ALL-KNOW GIRLS’ cause they could know everything about a girl in a week. After a week they told me not to go ahead cause they didn’t just like the aura she was releasing though she was not the wild kind of girl but they said her way wasn’t straight, I took this but instead of listening to my trusted friends which was my third sign, I decided to go with my heart. So I started going to school from work and after a month I asked her to date me, I wanted to go out with her, I wanted a relationship. she said she wanted to think about it, that she’s not in a rush to go into a relationship, she wants to be single for a while.. I played the song “Long distance by Brandy” It became our song…. I gave her a week to make a decision cause I knew she already knew the answer from the moment I asked. So after a week, she said yes and I was the happiest man on earth. Little did I know the story was just beginning…..

Leading On

So today I want to talk to my male readers, was surprised that so many guys read this blog and I would like to talk about something I find very annoying and disturbing which is the issue of leading on,

Why do boys always lead girls on when they know they are not going to date them....I always get really upset when I think about it because it something that has happened to me a lot and I think so many girls.

I was talking to a friend recently and she was really heartbroken, she met a guy, really liked him and stuff...the boy liked her too...blah blah....and he would call her everyday, send her romantic msgs...the whole nine yards and this went on for like four months...kk let's date, he doesn't want to, before you knw it...my dear friend is now in the friend zone...imagine

I think that's the most annoying thing abt this issue because after they have led you on, they would na put you in friend zone or worse sef....family zone, start calling you 'sis' as if you asked for a brother and obviously if you bring up the issue of dating...they would start saying 'sis you knw that......'


Why would you meet a girl, you knw you have no intention of dating her or getting into a relationship with her, you would call her everyday, send her msgs, call her baby, wifey, darlin, sweets, buy her gifts nd stuff....have sex with her and its not like you guys decided on friends with benefits oo. Then when the girl wants something serious, thats when the guy would realize the girl is annoying, she's too serious, she's ruining everything....am sorry...guys what did you expect

Another irritating dimension is that the boy would na not let the girl go...after he puts her in friend zone, he won't let go, he would hold on like she's his property..but to do the right thing then...neva. Let the girl go and find the happiness she deserves, if she cuts you out of her life..she's not being childish....that's just her own way of dealing with her emotions

Words of advice guys, if you know you don't want to date a girl, don't lead her on, at least tell her what you want from the beginning and if she still wants to go along for the ride, then great. Also don't call a girl that you know likes you but you don't, darlin or ur future wifey, that's just putting ideas in her head...let her be. And if a girl decides to leave because you dnt have your shit together, don't be angry.....you too move on and leave her alone.

So I hope guys read this and they stop leading girls on, its not nice to be led on when the girl is anticipating something serious..it probably wont stop but at least I hv said my piece... thank you very much for reading.


Stay or Go

Hey everyone...hope you guys had a great weekend, so as you guys should know by now...am always thinking, yh I have so much spare time....so as usual I was thinking about something last night.

As you all know, having been going on different dates and just dating and I met a guy recently, lets call him Mr S, he's really cool, very funny honest and really cute *blushing*....yh like finally shey but!!!!. there's a big BUT.

Why is that guys of nowadays have to be hit on the head, slapped on the face and poked before they budge nd take the initiative to do something.....guys would like a girl but to even 'court' is like wahala for them. Mr S is really cool and I know he likes me but to ping or call is trouble. It's becomes even more annoying when I have missed him so much and I can't take it anymore, I ping him and then he takes ages to reply, I know he doesn't do it to only me, cos all his friends complain about it too.

Apart from that, you have to push him to say I miss you or something nice, when my friend was going to introduce me to the guy, she said he was a romantic and he is practically the best thing since sliced bread....he can actually be but he doesn't act like it.

When I could not take it anymore, I decided to ask him about his nonchalant attitude towards dating and he told me about a past relationship that broke his heart and my heart just sunk, cos I realized what I just got myself into....another relationship where I have to prove to the boy I don't even know what, and I would have to poke, pamper....aint got no time for that yo

I kept thinking to myself it's better I stop now, at least we are not in a relationship yet...we are still figuring stuff out, cos am too old to get into another relationship where i have to keep pushing, poking the boy until he decides to start doing stuff, and I also don't have the energy because I know the nonchalance is only going to abate when he meets the right person and am I that right person?....am not so sure with the way things are going.

I keep asking myself should I stay or go?....I want to stay because he is the first person I have really liked in a long time and I know he likes me but I also think about leaving because when I promised myself, my next relationship would be all about me, the boy doing all the running, chasing and pampering. Bt the ish is that we are not even near the relationship stage at all....so maybe all I need is to give Mr S time because all I have heard about him are good things and he makes me happy.

Sorry about all the mushy, mushy stuff....so not me bt it's bin awhile I have met a guy that makes me smile. I was actually not going to write about it...wanted to keep it a secret for as long as I could but this issue was killing me...so I decided to blog abt it....gosh I talk too much *smh*. Bye
