Hello Ladies & Gentlemen. A friend of mine is in love with a female friend of his. They've been friends for a few years now and have been very close.
Presently, the girl has nobody she is going out with and my friend has been showering her with petty gifts. He sometimes tell her he is in love with her and she says "I've heard you, wait".
Some days ago he said the same thing to her, but this time she said she didn't love him and cannot even date him.
My friend is very confused and told me she demanded for an item worth about N70,000 from him before the latest development. He said he would like to get it for her but I strongly advised him against such move.

Please Nairalanders, what is your advice?

Thank You.

Op what was his response when u advised him?

If a lady aint interested in you...let her be. You are better off without such a woman.

He should let her be cuz it's obvious she doesn't want to be with him.. Is he that foolish to the extent that he wants to spend such an amount to someone that doesn't even give a fûck about him? Besides, he knows what to do, he is just playing dumb..

luvmijeje: Op what was his response when u advised him?

Thank you.
Though, he didn't tell me directly, but from what I could deduce, he is like, the girl was not serious about her negative response and she might change her mind and later grant his request.
But I think he is just being blinded by his love for her or what do you think?

@ dmcdad & Abbott; Thank you very much for your frank responses.

Don't get it twisted! She is playing a mind game. She doesn't want ur man buh conform at some point or the other to give him a sense of feeling that she's interested. That is to clear the way 4 her request.. Na gimmicks she dey use.. If I hear say ur guy drop a dime ehn! I go knw say na mugu 4 life

Dont let a lady use you, chop you, pick her tooth with and drop you. There are more graceful ways to lead a man on without coming off like a scammer or dupe.

Op ur friend has been with d lady 4 more than few years and 4 a guy to stick with a lady dat long dat means she also has a good part.
Op let them be.
