Cool! just take it gradually follow niger delta militants strategy..present sardine fish & kept the sharks..

Thank you guys for the moral support. I promised to give you guys feed back as to how it went. So here it is.

I took it slow I never proposed a relationship, or told her how i felt instead, I Tried to get to know her the more, and allowed her to get to know me. But alas I discovered my feelings for her gradually faded and I discovered we are better off as friends. She's left the country and I wish her the best and pray she finds the right person for her, we still keep touch tho.

I am glad for this experience, It has built my emotional intelligence a little. I have also discovered that love doesn't make you weak but instead stronger, yes it can leave me vulnerable but it's worth it. And that even though I have set standards, I should never let it get In the way if deep down I know she Is the one.

Thanks guys. You're the best
