The Date of Life

 Hey guys, hope you had a great day....I had a good day. So I was thinking about what to write and I decided to tell you guys about the date I just had....my first in Birmingham and it was certainly the date of life....the funniest I have been on.

So I met Sogo through my new friend in Birmingham, we were in class when became to say hello to my friend and she introduced us...I was just happy to meet another Nigerian and we just spoke for awhile. Then the next day, my friend told me Sogo was asking for my pin...I was like sure, I was just happy to have another Nigerian friend. We started talking and he was okay but I just thought he was a bit too loud and he was kind of annoying, but apart from that, he was okay.
Then he started asking me to go on a date with him....at this point in my life, am enjoying being single and even if I want to date someone...it has to be the right person. But Sogo was definitely not ready to take a No and I was thinking its just a date and its the cinema so I get to watch a movie and eat free popcorn...I love cinema popcorn. So I said yes and I thought it would be a fun day...well things don't always turn out the way I want them.

Then the day of the date came and I was really excited because I was going to watch A Good Day to Die Hard...I love action movies and I was going to get cinema popcorn....it was going to be a good day but I just had a feeling something was going to go wrong. I should have suspected right from the beginning...we get to the cinema in a cab and as I was coming out of the cab, Sogo just slammed the cab door in my face...I nearly broke my leg, apparently he forgot I was in the cab...that should have been the first signal, then we get to the counter to pay for the ticket and then Sogo turns to me and he is like where is the money for ur ticket, I thought he was joking....I was like 'huh'...I was even laughing but you should have seen his face...Thank God I carried my wallet...I don't believe boys have to pay for everything but he is the one that asked me to come on a date.

Then it was time to get the popcorn..I was excited..Sogo was like I got this...I almost said O je bi...so he got two huge bags of popcorn and drinks, when we got to our seats, I expected him to give me a bag of popcorn but he just kept them with him, and then the movie started, I was expecting my popcorn, my guy just started eating a bag of popcorn and was like do you want? I was like yh...he offered me from his own, I was like can I get the other bag, he was like No...I was like I thought I you got me one...he was we are sharing it...I swear down I was stupefied but I stood up to go get my own popcorn...I had to have cinema popcorn.

When I thought it could not get any worse, he started laughing so loud, then during all the car chases and gun fights, he started shouting in Yoruba and then he started clapping...I just buried myself in my seat....I could not just believe what I had gotten myself into...I just wanted to cry and go home. Finally the movie came to an end, the torture was over and then with popcorn bits flying out of his mouth, he was like did you enjoy the movie..I just nodded. I was like please can we go home, he was like I was thinking we could go somewhere to get food..you should have seen the way I screamed No, everyone at the cinema thought I was mad but they could not understand. I just wanted to go to my house.

When he dropped me at home, he was like I had fun, we should do this again... I was just laughing in my mind...if only he knew I was not trying it ever again. He now leaned over to kiss me, I was just looking at him, when he opened his eyes...I just smiled and gave him a side hug. He now later pinged me that he felt the chemistry between us and he wants to pursue it...chemistry kor..biology ni. So that was my first date experience in Birmingham...so eventful and hilarious. I can be friends with him but definitely not going on a date with him again.

Just want to remind you guys that you can still send in your stories...it could be about hilarious and disastrous dating experiences or the jerks you have come across to my email jumokesijuwade@ymail.com. Also I would be continuing my Jerk series tomorrow. Bye

The Friend's Ex

 Hey guys, hope you had a great weekend...mine was just there. Thanks for all the comments, keep them coming. So yesterday night, I was thinking about something that I would like to share with you guys...

 Before I moved to Birmingham, I met this really cool guy called Bolaji at a party, I was outside when he and his friend also came outside and I knew his friend, so he introduced us and three of us started talking, I really had fun with Bolaji that night, he made me laugh so hard, so we exchanged numbers and bb pins. From that night on, Bolaji and I became really close, called each other almost every minute, we also spent every minute together. I was really happy and excited, I actually thought he could be the one....I know I always think every boy is the one abi.

Then it came crashing down.....as it always does....Bolaji and I went to an eatery and as we were playing and laughing with each other, I noticed his face changed, and I looked up, a babe had just entered the eatery and it was Bimpe, a friend of mine that I had been really close but we had drifted apart, we really didn't talk again but I missed her friendship, so I stood up to hug her and Bolaji just stood up and walked away....I was confused at this point.

So I went to meet Bolaji and I was asking what was wrong, he said nothing but on our way home, he asked how I knew Bimpe, and I told him how we had really been close but how some issues caused a rift but we were cool now....and I asked if he knew her and he said Bimpe was the babe he had told me about....I remembered Bolaji had told me about his last girlfriend who had cheated on him....and my heart started sinking....I can't date Bolaji, he is my friend's ex boyfriend.

Then Bimpe called me that night when I got home and started asking questions of life, like am I dating Bolaji and stuff like that and I told no but we liked each other, she started crying and reminded me of the guy she told me about, the one she had been trying to get back and could not stop thinking about....yh Bolaji....I kept asking myself how I didn't connect the dots.

To cut the long story of life short...I started to keep away from Bolaji and when I could not hold off his calls again, I told him I could not date him because he was my friend's ex....he didn't understand but he accepted it. We stopped talking and Bimpe nd I's friendship got back on track. Not dating Bolaji was and still is one of the most heart wrenching decisions I ever had to make and I regret it almost everyday.

The irony of this story is that Bolaji and Bimpe are engaged....yeah they started dating few months after I left him....Bimpe really tried to win him back and she did. Am very happy for them or at least as happy as I can be. So I was thinking yesterday, could Bolaji have been the one and did I lose him because of the 'girl code'....'never date your friend's ex'.

So I want to ask you guys, can you date your friend's ex boyfriend and, is dating him right or wrong? Also to remind you, that you can send your stories to adejumokesijuwade@gmail.com

Jerk 7: A Reader's Story (2)

 Hi guys, hope you are having a great weekend. Got this story from a reader of the blog and I just want to say thanks for sharing you story.
                                     
                                               THE STORY
 There is this guy I met last year, lets just call him Mr A,he was so loving and caring and could strip himself for me,so far it makes me happy,he really got me tripping for him,he later asked me out, and I decided to give him a try to know what he was up to. Then at the beginning of dis year, he started holding back, I now took up his role, calling to check on him, pinging first thing in d morning, asking him if we could see and hang out,he was always watching ball, or busy with his Ipad.

So this valentine came, I already got a hamper of gifts for him despite his attitude,and so a day to vals, I gave him his gifts and on vals day,he came to tell me that his account no was changed,and that his present Atm doesn't tally with d present account no...what was I supposed to do? He even showed me d text message the bank sent to him, I took it like it was nothing, even though it was painful,and throughout the day,he avoided me.At night I called him to let us see n probably just sit, gist and laugh, and i told him we didn't  have to go out, he poured all his anger on me, he said it seems we both have different problems...I left him alone and went out with my friends.

The next day,he sent me a text that I was so cheap, that I slept with his friend on vals day,and i started hearing d gist from everybody, he claimed his friends witnessed his friend footing d hotel bill. I was dumbfounded, after three days he came back begging and crying...I liked him n i still do,but I don't intend to go back to him...
                                                   THE END
I find this story disturbing, why do guys have to be jerks all the time..if u know you don't want the relationship anymore, then tell the babe, why would you have to destroy her reputation....its very sad.I just want to tell this reader to please move on, you would find a better person.

Also want to remind you guys that you can send in your stories to adejumokesijuwade@ymail.com. So what do you guys think of this story?

Butterflies

Hello blogfam, so sorry I have not posted anything a while, I have been so busy with school work...am tired sef, want to go back to Naija *crying*....enough of my sad and pathetic sobs. So I was thinking today....some 'deep' thinking and I realized am sure I come across as a jerk magnet...okay maybe I am, a little bit but I also meet good guys, which made me think of something else...so here it goes

So I met this guy called Damilare after all the ish with Mr L and D, but I was not ready for any relationship with anyone, so we became good friends and we also have some cool common interests...so according to dating books, those are perfect ingredients to a wonderful relationship but something was missing....butterflies...yes butterflies



Okay let me explain what I mean by butterflies, you know when you meet a guy you really like and even when you start dating and just seeing him makes your tummy turn into butterflies, seeing him just makes you smile, even when you just hear his voice, your heart skips a bit...all that mushy mushy stuff...yeah that was not happening with me and Damilare. I was not physically attracted to him...and when I mean physical attraction, not talking about looks...I didn't get butterflies, my heart didn't skip if I see or if I hear his voice....I could actually go days without talking to him and talking to him was like a chore sometimes.

The thing about it is that I like Damilare a little and I want it to work but I can not just bring myself to date someone that when he calls, I would throw my phone under the bed because I don't want to pick up...yeah I actually did that. The thing about all this ish about butterflies and heart skipping is that I know it's true....so why should I settle for someone that doesn't cause all that because he is a good guy.

My best friend thinks am crazy, because she is really adamant that I date him because she believes I would grow to like him after I start dating him, that I would start to have all those feelings because that was how her relationship with her current boyfriend started and I want to believe my best friend because she has the cutest relationship I know.

So what do you guys think, do you think my bestie is right, I should forget about butterflies and skipping heartbeats and date this guy, I might just grow to like him more and finally have some butterflies, skipping heartbeats and smiles creeping on my face when I see him.

Also to remind you guys, that you can still send in your stories to adejumokesijuwade@gmail.com. Can't wait to hear from you guys.

Jerk 6: Mr F

 

 Hi guys, thanks to this reader for sending me her story, which is pretty heartbreaking. just to remind you guys that you can send your stories via email jumokesijuwade@ymail.com.
                                       
                                            THE STORY
    I met Mr F during NYSC and believe me, I was swept away by his looks and he was everything to look for in a guy. Fortunately for me, we were posted to the same work environs and at the end of one of our corpers meeting, he said Hi, can I have ur number? And I was like wow, what on earth would a good looking model want from a plus size girl like me and to think He actually knew my name, I was stunned... Well I gave him my number and we became friends.

  I was very much single then and I had a male best friend that followed me everywhere, gradually ,Mr  F and I stopped communicating cos he was the ladies man and all d skinny babes were after him so I kept my distance, although I stole quick looks at him whenever we met.Then we never met till the last day of NYSC and parted ways, that was in 2010.

Early last year after a terrible breakup from my ex, Mr F sent me a message on Facebook and we exchanged pins... I was so glad and felt my dreams were turning to reality. He was so happy and started expressing his feelings and how he withdrew from me cos he thought my bestfriend was
my boyfriend.

To cut the long story short, the next month, Mr F asked me out and I was so elated! He couldn't  wait,he wanted to marry me immediately, I became his mum's friend and even some of his siblings, what else could I ask for? He kept telling me he needs to save up a little more to get me the ring
of my dreams. Finally, I was grateful and felt this was my last bus stop.Yeah, my dreams were turning to reality.

A few days to my 24th birthday, he called to tell me he was coming over and I was so glad. After all  my hopes and preparations, Around 11pm on my birthday eve, he called to breakup with me, with no reasonable explanation, he deleted me from his bbm and removed me from his facebook friends...Imagine the devastation.I cried! I called him, he didn't pick up.

Some days after my birthday, I was still wondering why, then I searched for him on facebook again just to discover that the girl he claimed to be a close friend was already engaged to him and pregnant for him. There were a lot of congratulatory comments and I almost fainted, how long have I been a fool for?

I was shattered..He called me a month later to tell me he wants me back and that i should send my pin that he has forgiven me and I wondered, forgive me for what?

Really, is it a crime to love? I have not spoken to him since then, I've been trying to pick up d pieces of my life but I find it hard to move on or love anyone, in a few months, I'll be 25 but I'm still lost in this love world.
                                         THE END

And I thought I met the worst boys..wow..Mr F is definitely more than a Jerk. I just want to tell this reader that she should not worry, brighter days are ahead. So what do you guys think of this story.

Also, I just want to clarify that the stories you want to send in don't have to be about jerks, it could also be about terrible dates, the crazy things you have experienced in the world of dating. Cant wait to hear from you guys.

Jerk 5: A Reader's Story

  

 Hey guys, hope you had a great weekend, thanks for all your comments, keep them coming. so today am posting a story from a reader of the blog and its pretty emotional.

                                           THE STORY
  In school, I was one of the quite popular girls and I happened to have guys flock around me a lot. I was a size 10 and although I didn't have a body like amber rose; I was quite curvy and a lot of people described me as pretty. I was dating one of the most popular guys in school. Toye wasn't drop dead handsome but he is tall, nice smile. Fresh. You know the complete package; People actually liked us together and we actually were voted cutest couple in my department.

Sometime in my 3rd year at the university, I started to add weight. It wasn't so bad initially as every one including me felt it was as a result of the summer break I had in the UK. Suddenly suddenly, size 10 became size 12. I started to try out all them crazy diets, I starved myself and took drugs that always made me feel like throwing up and the battle with my weight made me just angry with the world. Toye started to change towards me. Although I actually irritated him; I tried working on myself but all to no avail. I constantly stuffed myself in dresses in a bid to look nice and pretty.

Eventually, I hit my all time low when I became a size 14! All hell was let loose, my friends were always laughing behind my back, even Toye "my love" continued to get angry at me for the slightest things; he wouldn't hold my hands in public not to talk of  kissing or touching me, he constantly called me fat and ugly. To add fuel to the fire, Toye constantly reminded me that if I didn't work on my weight, he would dump me.

I would cry myself to sleep every night, starve myself; I even fainted in class one day after my body couldn't deal with the depression. We went clubbing and like a fool I was there thinking I looked pretty, I even uploaded a picture of myself on FB. Toye "my love" refused to dance with me; He was cranky and rude as he kept flirting with other girls without caring how I felt. To save face, I decided to keep myself company wit my fone. Scrolling my timeline, I saw Toye's comment on my picture 'Yogi looks nice today', he wrote with a surprise smiley behind. I was hurt!

I was so embarrassed so I refused to talk to him.  I just sat by myself wishing the night would just end. Eventually, he called me to get going and said I was silly for coming if I was going to keep to myself all night. I burst in tears at that point. No apologies or words of comfort came. He simply said 'Bunmi!!! Stop all this...you are embarrassing me.' He put N3000 in my purse and advised me to call a cab home.....

Toye has a new girlfriend and of course she is skinny and pretty but I really don't care because am in a really good place now, I feel confident with my body and i also have an amazing boyfriend who loves me for who I am and not what size I am.
                                          THE END

In my opinion, this guy is definitely a jerk... the worst thing a guy can do is put you through emotional abuse. Am really happy that this reader is now in a good place and has a wonderful relationship. So what do you guys think of this story? Also just to remind you guys that you can send your stories to me via email jumokesijuwade@ymail.com and it will be published anonymously unless you decide otherwise.

Too Old-fashioned?

 
 Hi guys, sorry I didn't post yesterday, was very sad about Goldie's death, she was one of my fav Naija celebs....May her Soul rest in peace.
   
Today am not going to be talking about a jerk but another issue that I find disturbing, I dnt know if I have become too old fashioned....not sure anymore. Let me tell you guys something that happened recently so you guys can understand what am talking.
 

 

 I met a guy recently and we have been talking on bbm, we have become pretty close and I knew he liked me but I was not sure about my feelings for him but that was not even the problem, two days ago he pinged me and was like I want to ask you something, I was like sure nd then he says will you be my babe?....u should have seen my face...like seriously, is that how you ask a girl out nowadays?
 Of course I said no, like after from not having feelings for him, how can you ask me out with a Ping.....and the situation got me thinking about the olden days....yeah am feeling like someone that has lived a lifetime...lool...but can you guys remember those days when a boy would pursue a girl, take his time to get to know a girl, ask her out the right way and also do everything to get her to say yes but nowadays, when a boy meets a girl, he would collect her pin, he would probably not collect her number, so the guy never calls, but he would probably ping the girl for Africa, which can be so annoying...boys don't even take girls on dates again...all they want to do is ping.
  Hope all this is not making you guys think am into romantic, fairy tale or Cinderella ish...nah I don't have time for all that but I just miss those days that a boy actually made an effort into chasing a girl, because that was always the fun part, u know all the calls, the length he would go to see you smile and also ask you out the right way not with a ping. I miss those days....*sigh*
 So after this my story of life....do you guys think am too old fashioned and I should get on with the new age, or you guys actually miss those days too. Can't wait for your comments.
 Tomorrow I would be posting one of the stories I got from a reader of the blog...pretty interesting. Pls guys keep your stories coming, would love to hear from you and it would be published anonymously unless you want it otherwise.

Jerk 4: Mr T

 Hi guys, sorry I didn't post anything yesterday, was so tired but am back with the 4th Jerk in the Jerk Series.....so this is the story of Mr T,who is a proper jerk.

I met Mr T through a really good friend of mine, I was on holiday when I met him, I actually didn't meet him physically at first, my friend was talking to him on the phone and she introduced me to him and we became very close, closer than my friend was to him sef, actually to be truthful, why I became close to Mr T was because of his voice, his voice was sexy but getting to know him, he seemed like a very nice, cool guy....little did I know.

Then Mr T and I decided to meet, by this time Mr T and I really liked each other but we didn't want to rush into anything till we saw each other, so we decided to go on a 'date'..... I got there first and I could not even contain the excitement I felt, because I was like am so sure he is going to be such a fine boy, with that his lovely voice...And then Mr T turns up, and he is tall, very skinny and dark, nothing like his voice, but am not all about physical appearance, so I tried not care and then he opened his mouth....oh my God....his breath nearly threw me off my chair....but I still tried not  to care...am a trooper!!!!!

The date went well despite all the breath and appearance ish, he was a really nice guy or so I thought...and we went on some more few dates but I could still not kiss him not with that breath and I always offered him gum when I saw him....so I could at least have a good time with him. The thing I still liked him despite everything...I knew all the issues with him are things that could be changed.

Then Mr T asked me out and I was really excited, he was a cool, funny and very nice, even though he was a bit arrogant but that just made me like him more. So I called my friend that introduced us to tell her about it and also tell her I was going to say yes and then the bombshell dropped.....Mr T had also asked her out that same day and he had even being going on dates with her too...I could not even believe it, after all the time of  trying to smile when talking to him when all I wanted to do was cry because of his horrible breath, he was now asking my friend out on the same day, it was horrible then but now I just find it funny

So I called Mr T to find out what was going on and he blatantly said he was trying to find out which one of yours worked for him. Imagine....the boy with the horrible breath thinks he's a pimp. He now went ahead to tell me that he actually liked my friend but when I just jumped in...he didn't see why he could not have his cake and eat it.... Jerk of life.

Now Mr T is single as karma has dealt with him, his girlfriend left him for an older man.....I could not stop laughing when I heard.

So what do u guys think of Mr T? Also I would you guys to share your stories with me...because am sure am not the only one that has been involved with jerks. You can be the blogger for the day. Send the stories to jumokesijuwade@ymail.com. Thanks guys

Jerk 3: Mr A

 Hey guys, so due to the popular demand for the Jerk series, am going to write about two more jerks, so lets get started. I actually think this jerk am about to talk about is the worst of them all and he actually deserves the title of a jerk.

I met Mr A a day before I went to Nysc camp through a friend, was talking to my friend on bbm when I saw a really cute guy on his display picture and I told him I thought his friend was cute, only for me to get a request from the cute guy, it was Mr A. We hit it off and became really close, but we only spoke on phone and through bbm because I was in camp.

Mr A had a girlfriend , so I knew we could only be friends but all of a sudden Mr A started telling me about how he was tired of his girlfriend, and he wanted to end his relationship, I won't lie, I was very attracted to Mr A, he called me every morning to say good morning also at night, he was just amazing. I kept asking about his relationship and he said he was getting it sorted, he told me by the time I get home from camp, his relationship would be done. I was beyond excited and could not wait to get home to see and meet Mr A for the first time.

I got home from Camp and the day to meet Mr A finally came, I wore my best outfit, did my make-up and i thought I looked sexy, oh well.....I get to the meeting place and Mr A walks in, first thing I notice is his arrogance, but I thought well its because he is a fine boy. I was thinking Mr A would be so excited to see but he looked at me with disgust, but I was still excited. The meeting was a bit awkward but I still liked Mr A and we had fun.

All of a sudden Mr A started asking for money to buy things, asking if my father could get him a job, when I got my car, I think he was more excited than me, he wanted to drive my car all the time.   Then I get a message from Mr A's 'former' girlfriend, telling me that my family name and money can't take her boyfriend away, I decided to ask Mr A what his former girlfriend was saying, only for Mr A to tell me that he has not broken up with his girlfriend and that he can't leave her for me because I would be a step down and he just wanted to get with me because am a princess......yeah I could not believe it myself and he was just laughing saying it. That was definitely one of the most horrible days of my life.

Mr A has broken up with his girlfriend of life and he is single, he has been calling recently but I can't even think of being friends with him, not after all he has done.

So that's the story of Mr A, what do you guys think about Mr A, does he deserve to be called a Jerk? And a happy birthday to my dearest friend and a fan of this blog, Phummie.....Love u..Thanks for the support.

   

Valentine's Day Is Coming

Hey guys thanks for coming back to read the blog and also commenting on the posts, really appreciate. God bless you. So Valentine's Day is around the corner, like three days from now and am so excited, you can't even imagine. I know it sounds weird that as a single girl am excited about valentine day but its a funny day and its all about sharing love. I have grand plans for my valentine's day but before I share that with you, let me tell you guys about my worst valentine's day ever.
    
In my second year in the university, a very good friend of mine introduced me to this really cool guy and I would just call him Mr B, he was really cool, fun, very nice and we had a great time and became really close. My university didn't encourage relationships, so Mr B and I were just having fun and getting to know each other, we really liked each but I didn't want a relationship because of my school's regulations, because I knew I won't enjoy it and Mr B didn't mind.
   
A week before Valentine's day, Mr B started asking me questions of life, like what's my favorite color, what have I been pining for all year, he was sha giving me hints and I was anticipating and so excited about Valentine's day. I kept imagining the different gifts and also practicing my surprise face.
   
Then Valentine's Day was here....was so excited I could not sleep the night before, Valentine's Day in my school is like one of the biggest and most important date in my school, because the size of your gift determined the level of the love your boyfriend had from you, even though I was not dating Mr B, but because of our closeness and our unofficial status, I expected something from him and me I had already gotten a hamper of gifts ready for him, then the wait of life started......
     
Morning went, afternoon then it was evening, no gift, no Mr B, I kept telling myself that he probably wants to be romantic and he was going to give me a couple of minutes before 12, then 12.01 came and I still told myself that maybe the person he left the gift with slept off....then it was 1am....obviously no gift was coming again, I could not even help the tears that rolled down my face.
   
The next day I went to my friend that introduced me to Mr B because I was sure she would know what happened and immediately I entered her room, she got uncomfortable and started apologizing, apparently Mr B gave someone a Val's gift, it was not just me....he gave a babe that was in his class.

When I saw Mr B, I asked him about it and why he led me on, he said he was not sure if I really liked him and  that our relationship was not going anywhere and he had found someone else.....

 Since that day, I vowed to not let any guy dictate how I feel or celebrate my valentine's day, so back to my valentine's day plan after this pathetic story of mine. Am planning to get a small chocolate cake, loads of chocolate and also every sweet thing I can lay my hands on....am suppose to be on a diet but am taking a day off. Also am finally getting a teddy bear...'dancing', I always wanted one and I thought maybe a guy would get it for me like they do in the movies but that was not happening for me, so am getting it myself...getting the biggest one I can find.
   
I just want to say to all the single girls like me, it doesn't have to be a dreadful day, trust me UK is the worst place to be because even on a normal day, all you see are couples involved in one form of PDA, so you can imagine Val's day but as a single girl, go out, have a singles party or mixer, just make sure you have a great day and don't let anything bring you down.
   
So was I wrong to anticipate a gift from Mr B even though we were not dating?......I would also like to hear about your worst valentine's day and your plans for this valentine.

   
    

Jerk 2: Mr D

Hello everyone, thanks so much for the comments, was really excited toread your views on if Mr L deserved to be called a jerk, I hope you guys keep enjoying the blog. So today is Jerk 2's story, which still makes me laugh when I think about it.

So after the heartbreak by Mr L, I swore off boys and I decided to keep to myself, only for me to be on twitter one sunny day and a guy ask for a follow back, so I followed back and I got a dm instantly from the guy, and the way the guy was so excited in the dm, I knew it had to be someone I knew and then the guy says his full name and it turns out to be my church crush... Mr D, okay I have to backtrack so you guys can understand the story well.

The church I used to attend when I was in Nigeria didn't really have eligible/hot guys, I know it's suppose to be a church and am suppose to look only unto Jesus but it also helps to have eye candies, and there was a shortage of that in my wonderful church but there was this guy called Mr D, who was definitely an eye candy and I fell in lust with him, but because I never saw him outside church, I started calling him my church crush, so I hope everyone understands the origin of the name...back to my story.

Meeting Mr D on twitter after so many years of stolen glances and coy smiles and pretending not to notice when he looked at me, I was excited but wary because of my recent situation with Mr L, but Mr D didn't waste anytime, first thing he would say after telling me his name was I can't believe am finally talking to you, have been thinking about about this day all my life, he was sha giving me lyrics and my heart skipped a bit and I was like I think I have found the one, at least he would take my mind off Mr L.

Mr D ticked all the right boxes, he was dark and tall, he already had a masters degree and was planning to even go further with his academics....I was in love, he was also sarcastic, funny and he said all the right things, I told myself, I have found my last bus stop....little did I know I have not found any bus stop and my bus was still going to keep moving

Mr D was the best thing for a week and I was so happy, my sisters thought I was crazy, because I was so nice to them and I had a smile on my face all week.  I became a new person and I was glowing...then the glow started to dim. Mr D stopped calling, after a week of calling me morning and evening, didn't reply my bbm messages. Even though we both lived in the same city and we both had a car, so transportation was not a problem, Mr D refused to see me and stood me up countless of times without even calling to apologize.

I finally got Mr D to pick up his phone and reply his messages, so I could ask what went wrong after a week of turning my head and heart upside.....what would my dear Mr D say ' Jumoke, am sorry but am not ready to step into a relationship or even think about it because I have to study you first and be sure I can trust you, but don't get me wrong, I like you but I have to think about it'.....I hope you guys are as shocked as I was because it felt like I was begging to date him, how would I date a boy I just started talking to in a week.....it was the funniest moment of my life.

Mr D is still single, he still tries to get into my head and my heart but I ain't interested mehn and I don't even have time for things like that.

So what do you think abt Mr D, is it right for me to describe him as a jerk?.....

Jerk 1: Mr L

 Hey guys, thank you so much for taking the time to check this little blog of mine and also commenting.....really grateful. So I have decided to pick out two jerks out of the millions I have met, so today I would focus on Jerk 1 who I will call Mr L. Before I go further, let me just clarify that this is not to insult the guys am going to talk about because these two guys have actually become really good friends of mine, yeah we have friend zoned each other but these two jerks were th ones I liked the most.

So back to the story, I met Mr L during Nysc, immediately I met Mr L, I fell into lust.....don't judge me, the guy is hot bt Mr L had a girlfriend so I backed off cos I don't roll like that, so we became really good friends, even though everytime I saw him, I wish I could shoot his girlfriend and then a day came and I met the girlfriend, no homo but the girl is hot...that's wen I realized I can not be more than a friend because I can't obviously compete with the girl.

Two months to the end of Nysc, my dream comes true, Mr L breaks up with the girlfriend of life...yes!!!!!!, but I actually tried to get them back together but then I realized the girl actually has issues, so I didn't feel so bad. Then another of my dream comes true, Mr L realizes he likes me...now am walking on sunshine, because I was like finally The Lord has opened Mr L's eyes. I know now you guys are thinking  'Rebound'.....trust me I knew but I didn't care, at last I was getting attention, affection and love from Mr L, life could not get any better.

Those two months were the best two months of my life, Mr L was the perfect guy, he made me laugh more than anyone else, I was in lust and suddenly, suddenly everything came crashing down, Mr L realizes he wants his girlfriend back....what!!!!.

The thing that actually hurt me the most was that I had actually gone farther with Mr L that any other guy....don't worry I didn't have sex with him, am too old fashioned but I had still taken a major step with him and then the guy starts to sister zone me not even friend zone...imagine!!!!!...I think sister zoning is even worse than friend zoning because that means the relationship case is closed, if he calls me his sister, I obviously can't date my new found 'brother'....I was so pissed., but oh well that was my new status, I have gone from the rebound to a sister...pathetic nonsense.

Now Mr L is still single but we are both not interested, also he is still definitely in love with his on and off girlfriend, I still miss Mr L because I have still not found someone who can make me laugh as much as he did but we have both moved on jare.....time waits for no man.
   
So do you guys think its right for me to classify Mr L as a jerk after this sad story of mine?....let me know your answers

Hello everyone, my name is Jumoke and I just moved to Birmingham city from Nigeria and I have no friends yet, so I have to talk to myself which is getting boring, so I decided to create a blog so I can write my thoughts and also have people interact with me in cyberspace. 
  On this blog am going to be talking about the fun and perils of the dating world, I have been single for like two years now, yeah I know....that's long but I have not just found or the ones I found didn't want me *rme*...like really, how won't anyone want me....just kidding. Now that am in Birmingham, am hoping I would find the *one* but before that, I would give you guys a brief history into my dating life, maybe I already met the one and I didn't know but I doubt it.
   This last year I was very unlucky to meet some many jerks, like 90% of the guys were jerks and I fell for all of them, I never fall for the good ones. Would u like to know about the jerks and if they deserve to be called jerks?...am sure u would like to know
    Will gist u Guys tomorrow, need to go to bed now but who would you guys describe as a jerk? 
Goodnight guys xxxx
