Last year I was ridiculed for publishing an article on FINDING LOVE PAST 30. I was 23 then and so the question was how can a 23yr old get to know what it’s like to be 30?Well, how about being 23 and having a 37yr old mind???
Dating sites was among a few ways I adviced as a strategy of Finding love past 30 in part 3 of the article. If you are in an environment where everyone knows you and you know everyone, you might be single for a while.
“promise you’ll always remember home” is a statement I can’t seem to let out of my head anytime soon. Talk of dating sites being overrated but it is because of a dating that I embrace this statement with everything I’ve got.
I was added to a dating site by a friend because they thought I was lonely and so the basic idea was to meet new people. The site wasn’t all friendly .Most of the people I met wanted hookups just as a normal site would be.
Hookups don’t work for me and every day I’d wake up to check my phone with the intention of deleting the app. The Dms were fire and I lost track of when I would delete the app but also this guy sends me a Dm.
He seems nice and he actually asks if we could become friends. I looked at my phone’s screen as I muttered with an expressionless face. Took me a while to get back to him but then I thought, one friend from a place I don’t fit in would do.
I decide to give it a chance and get to know the guy. We talk for a while before he decides to ask for my number. For some reason, I still kept the dating site on my phone with zero check ups for the mad hookup requests.
I was still in my pyjamas when he asked to see me.He was already in my hood, right outside my apartment. I had paid less attention when sending him my pin location earlier. It was so unexpected that he’d actually show up.
You know these guys from dating sites, they’d always give the impression of ‘oh am just kidding’ but this one, this one was different. He was ready to pick me up.
He was okay with however our first encounter would be. He did not care whether I was in PJs or not but then you know us girls, we love to look pretty especially on such occasions.
Meeting a guy you like for the first time needs work.I needed to buy time and get ready.I had to find my cousin and hand her the only key to our house.
“Hi,what do you want to take for dinner tonight?It’s late, restaurants are closing and it’s almost curfew hours” he asked after I answered his call.
You can now imagine how much time I had taken to get ready. This reminded me of Job from the bible. Patience level 9999. I reply and tell him that I had eaten already, this was a crystal lie.
With unmeasurable alarm I walked towards the chemist where he had said to have parked.To my surprise the guy was white, looked super rich but friendly. He had a lovely face,clear white skin and I loved his voice.Wait, do not overthink it…..he wasn’t the likes of those ‘wazungu sponyos’ found in the popular dating sites.
The guy is only 25.
I send my cousin an 8hour live location incase something happened to me. He drives to grab a meal at a KFC joint before they call it a day. Throughout the conversation about our past experiences, I learn that he was a client at a real estate company I once worked for.
He asks about my foundation and later we are at his house.The guy is super rich, the hood he resides in is no exception.
It’s 4am and he hasn’t forced anything on me.He looks me direct to the eye and says,”promise me you’ll always remember home” and that’s how our love story began……
This is a verbal personality.
@WriterKazuri is the persona.
