True Tales From Past Valentine's Day

Okay reality check guys, let me dig into my archive of experiences and offload this gist of how I goofed on valentine's day years back. Enjoy.

There was this new babe I was trying to date, a colleague who just joined. Incidentally we happened to be in Lagos together on the week of Valentine, so I asked her to be my Val, well you know how naija babes are she didn't say yes or no, so I felt she was just playing hard to get. I went on with all the planning and at the appointed time I called her up in the hotel, the phone ring tire no response , several attempts later I gave up as it dawned on me that the babe has bursted my side. What a lonely Val's day it was for me, all my pals were busy. I kept blaming and cursing myself.

Anyway make loneliness no kill me I decided to leave the confines of the hotel and take a stroll down to bar beach and Kuramo beach and guess what?, I saw the babe chilling out in one of those pepper soup joint with another colleague of mine. Instead of being upset, I was really amused. The babe don play fast one on me.

I never mentioned anything to her, I stopped chasing her but we were still friends and occassionally I would take her out for lunch and help out whenever she needed my help.

Months later the guy jilted her and she started chasing, me I didn't play hard to get O! (how can) but I made it clear that it was because the bobo had bursted her side that was why she was falling back on me. She didn't say anything. Shortly after we started dating full time and I then revealed to her what happened on Val's day 6 months ago. She was shocked and appologised, I told her no need for that, so far as she followed her heart. Anyway the relationship did not last very long before I called it quits. She wanted to know why so I told her I was her second best option and I didn't want to build a long term relationship on this premise

Does anyone else want to share their past Valentine day experience?

Wow thelma2, I am totally speechless, that was definitely worse than mine.

Both you guys should have seen the sign, or you just ignore it, you can't turn a dog to a house wife or husband. if your man is cheating you should have known before val day if you paid attention to details.

@ thelma, na wa o, i'm very curious as to the end of that tale.
whew that was really heavy. oh girl you try o.

@ saintjoe, very funny.
but i thought thats a very old trick, so guys still use it?

seun, you got a point, yes. people shouldnt play such tricks. but i wonder why people still fall for such, i don't think i would.
but seun, consider this also, you never can tell what might happen. you just might find yourself forgiving your "girlfriend" if she comes back. its possible you fall in love so bad that you love her even beyond yourself,  thats why this life is interesting. you can never really tell.

I won't forget when i was in high school. i don't know how i didn't hear the announcement that everybody was to wear red. it was really surprising. i got on the school bus and everyone was in red, when i got to school, it was even worst as i was the only one wearing a different color so i really stood out in a horrible way. nah, it wasn't a pleasant day. i made sure i made it up on st. patricks day by wearing all the green in da world.

 

@ odeku. don't blame me so much bro, then my love was blind but i can assure you now that it sees sooo00ooo well . you know what they say " once beaten twice shy"

IAh you can make the topic.

Then again, thelma,  chei,  sorry o my sister. That man is a big asshole.

u re really right Seun, if ''love'' is jst a game, den it's not worth da stress
