InZA:


I apologize if I'm calling you out a bit, but I have benign intentions.... The question is this, does one need to go through a number of "Miss-shots" /Miss-fires"(relationship - wise) before you settle down to find "the one".

I'm asking this because quite frankly, chronologically I'm at a stage in my life where I should be getting ready to get married next year.... But I don't even have a relationship presently.... I've not had any for almost 6years, and apart from other reasons, I've not just found "the one", I've had several opportunities to randomly date ladies, good looking ones, but I chose not to, because I didn't feel that "She's the one vibe" and I didn't want to start jumping from relationship to relationship

So the question again is.

-Was I wrong by staying away from those random relationships
-Do I have a chance of meeting the one, without having had any relationships in such a long while.


P:S

I'm open to opinions from any other person too.


Make una no mind my epistle ooogringrin

You are doing the right.thing.... when you see the one made for you, you wont think otherwise

Inside public transport. Entered same bus from Ilorin to Offa, Kwara state. She didn't want to give me her number, I alighted from the bus (which was not my own bus stop) and followed her to a shop. She still didn't want to give me. The shop owner intervened by pleading on my behalf. That was when she gave me. till today, I still joke with her on that scene.

Interestingly, I had traveled from Lagos to Ilorin to see another lady who dey form hard to get.

author=mollytinrox post=29882242]Jan 10th, that fateful year.

was hurrying to work from tbs. boarded a keke marwa heading for keffi
street, he was in it. I alighted on awolowo road, he did. I crossed to
the total filling station side, he did. I let him walk away so I could
go my way, and then he stopped and asked why I was stalking him. I told
him I was going to work, and it turns out he works in the building next
to my office complex.

so I was in this relationship which was apparently heading no where, and
I thought he was married. I never did ask him though. one week after
the relationship I was in fizzled out, I was so heartbroken my boss
asked me to go and sort my self out for 3 days. he saw me when I resumed
and asked why I looked so haggard. I told him I just ended a
relationship, and burst into tears. he looked at me with such
tenderness, and comforted me. then he said it meant the coast was clear
and he could move in. I gave him my evil look and told him I wasn't
dating for the next two years.

anyone who knows me knows that my shakara is legendary. he would call
me, I would ignore it. he would send me pings and I'll just read and no
reply. He deleted my number from his phone and my bbm contact.

anyhow, May 14th that year I said ok, let's do this. He proposed to me
July. 16, my birthday and we gott married Dec. 14. Same year! As I type
this our daughter is sucking with intensity and kicking her legs in the
air.


As to how I knew he was the right man, well, he wasn't like them other
men I had dated. He is a positive. pusher. He backs up his motivation
with money, advice, and monitoring. He also commands my respect, and
didn't actt like seks was. all that mattered. He always put 'us' first,
not all these 'me-me' guys we have. His devotion to God is top notch,
and his future prospects are aligned with. mine.

sorry for the epistle, but nothing as sweet as marrying the friend you
love. [/quote]ds has got to b no oda but my darlyn Gbadeski!!!

Thank you op for the lovely thread. You put a smile on my face this Sunday morning.

I love staying indoors. Friends and sometimes family would tell me to try and go out a little bit more. My lovely friend would say - you don't meet people while indoors. She was wrong in my case. Love found me at home.

We lived in the same city both in Nigeria and in the UK. My sister was travelling to Nigeria and his sister needed to send a parcel home. His sister gave him the parcel to give me to pass on to my sister. Somehow that parcel took a few hours to drop. Been married a few years now.
I also love staying indoors,mine is so bad that i can stay at home without stepping out for weeks!whenever i am having a conversation with my mind,she tells me that gone were those days men came with their fathers to come and pluck that beautiful flower bla bla bla.am glad love found you at home.at least it proves that men still knock on doors to pluck that beautiful flower although i dont intend to wait for mine to knock on my father's door,hoping to meet him halfway.i hope.

Ok...

In 2012, I finally got called for my NYSC service. But unilag was so slow in bringing out our call up letters, that by the time they did, it was too late to influence the state to serve in. That didn't mater to me because I had prayed and felt confident.

Omo, na so them post me go Nasarawa... shocked grin dad wanted me to change to Lagos but it was late as Lagos was already full. So I left for Nasarawa and that's where I met him (meanwhile mum told me I would meet Hubby there kiss, I was like all this old women sef)

Ok, so my bat was flat and I went to charge it and that's where we met. Tho we didn't speak till after two days. He would always ask me to come out and eat or hang out in the evening but omo girl likes to stay indoors. Besides, u know how NYSC paroles dey be. Wasn't interested in all that and he had lots of women around him anyways.
I played volleyball for my platoon , each training session he wd come watch me and defend me if peeps were harassing me cheesy we became friends but I still declined his invitations. Sth happened 2 nights b4 camp ended. My friends and I decided to drink palm wine at mami market, even tho the highest I had taken was one bottle of smirnoff, I said oya na. They didn't have so we took smirnoff. I had 2 bottles and was very happy! I hugged everyone I knew! embarassed grin cheesy

Well, he was there watching, he called me and asked me to go to the hostel and rest. My friends had left me with our guy friends from the same platoon. Guess he was uneasy and watched and took me to the hostel to prevent story that touch. Lol
Anyways, he redeployed and asked me to do so but I didn't. Throughout we talked on the phone for hours, when I was in lag he wd come see me at home and vice versa. The relationship blossomed with my mum giving me that "I told you so" look undecided getting married this year, it's all good.

Er...moral of the story; be full of faith and trust cos life throwing u shade may be a blessing in disguise cos he actually finished ahead of me and his name kept missing from the NYSC list till he decided to do his masters.
Sorry for the very long epistle. The end! cheesy
