IzyLuv: I don't understand why everyone is running to defend Daisy. i know i am a late reader. But if u dont mind, could you throw more light on d theory that a woman must marry a man that loves her and not d other way around |

chinedumo: Mr. Chinedumo, the great debater, 'akshually' I can't help but say something here...... I also used to think this theory was right but seriously.....it was quite naive of me ..... fact is, a man can act like he loves a woman....men (sorry to say) deserve the Oscar award when trying to capture a lady's heart (and whatever else).....he might actually really love her but then I betcha when he's gotten the goods, he won't work so hard at love any more.... He might begin to misbahave and change into someone else. Love is no guarantee, it diminishes depending on factors affecting the relationship, both parties have to continually work at the relationship, if you just let it go, the love of one person isn't enough to sustain it forever. 1 Like |

Re: Story: Taking Chances by chinedumo(m): 12:44pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
I just finished reading. Nice writer great story. prodigious concept. Obviously your first princesa. What a great way to start! It doesnt add up that the wayward and womanizing jide had just grace as his ex. Grace was not portrayed as a fling. The relationship with Grace was portrayed as rich. I wonder how a playboy would take the pains to maintan such a relationship. I have failed to see how daisy is a better woman when compared with Grace. I take this to mean that the title 'taking chances' was deduced from daisy's last attempt to save her marriage. She put her husband's infedelity aside and took the bull by the horns. Hence taking her chances. Taking the risk. 1 Like |

I had so much in mind to say(type) bt immediately i started typing i lost evrytin.. Good work gal, keep it up nd u'll go places...atleast ve learned forgiveness, communication and companionship helps in a rltnshp |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 2:59pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
chinedumo:okay you're right, maybe it doesn't add up. But i didn't utterly portray Jide as a playboy, did i? Guess am confused with his character. It was actually a week break he took for himself to soar his wild oats that landed him in the marriage trouble, you can therefore deduce that he was kind of cool headed before then? Yeap, you're right, Grace isn't a fling, i never portrayed her as that, their relationship was great, so lets just say, it wasn't her destiny to marry Jide people reach their snapping points i think, and one day, he woke up and realised that he wanted more out of life. Isn't that a good reason? And yeah, Daisy isn't a better woman than Grace, infact i am all for Grace in this, she's the one who's been spited, she should get all the pity not Daisy! Too bad my readers thought otherwise. Oh well, its freedom of choice. The title, am just seeing it in this light, me was thinking the fact that she left Boston to come take a chance at Love with Jide, describes the title for me, but ur point is totally worthy, she also took a chance in her marriage. Thank you |

Re: Story: Taking Chances by chinedumo(m): 3:41pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
If her highness won't be so pissed, The playboy i am refering to is life before marriage. From chapter 7 Mama smiled shaking her head. It wasn't going to be hard afterall, she thought. i am yet to see the bad activities that jide was involved in that daisy helped him cure. A start could be his temper. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 3:56pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
chinedumo: for one, Mama was only acting on the words relayed to her by her son, she could have blown the description out of proportion just to get Daisy to agree to the marriage. Remember she's over dramatic? And Like I said, It was just a week of careless adventure that had nailed Jide so, it might not totally be his everyday behaviour. He had a girlfriend, flirted when was required, didn't hang out much, he wasn't really a playboy. Maybe in his university days, but definitely not now/then. And his temper, i think that was cured, or atleast mellowed down with the way he started acting of late... Anything else? |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by chinedumo(m): 4:00pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
princesa: if mama is being overdramatic then what was the need of daisy in jide's life? Daisy took care of mama. I was thinking the reward should be a good man and not a bad man(more responsibilities) Did grace refuse to get married? how does portraying her grandson as very bad attract daisy? Is daisy attracted to bad guys? So daisy married jide to change him? Please if you are not comfortable with my questions message me and i will stop. Thank you. Have a blessed dominion sunday tomorrow |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 4:09pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
^maybe All her overdramatic tendencies was actually to convince Daisy more to go Marry Jide and maybe save him, remember she and Daisy are like mother and daughter and she had want no one else for her son, lets just say she was pre determined to get her favorite grandson settled with her favorite friend. Grace wasn't in the family picture ever before the marriage, mama never knew her and Jide's father didn't even like her. Then, there was Jide who didn't pop the marriage question before Daisy was thrusted at him. Grace was the bad loser in the whole game of love, so what more can I say, life itself is complicated. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 4:15pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
Daisy isn't attracted to bad guys, Jide was the love of her life, her teenage crush that became more. She wanted to help save him like mama suggested, and maybe get him for herself before anyone else did. Love make us do silly things. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by clemcykul(f): 9:18pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
u did well for starters i must say. Though try n mke the dialogues briefThe story line is quite interesting. You are good at narration but improve on ur description of the characters personality to give the reader a perception. Give intricate details on environments. My opinion " i really dont feel jide loved daisy". This is a romance story, it ought to be romace parked giving the readers, a thousand butterflies in their belly. Enough said, i enjoyed every chapter. Just a little touch up and ure good enough for consumption. I love explicit bla bla bla |

Re: Story: Taking Chances by Chuksemi(m): 11:46pm On Nov 24, 2013 |
Really princess, I am in love with your writing ability. But, I think Daisy let Jide off the hook easily, I mean after she caught him with grace. If this was a real life scenario, such an easy forgiveness after a betrayal of that magnitude will paint a picture of an obsessed wife, to whom he can cheat on and get away easily. Atleast silent treatment for that day would have been a bit acceptable. Let Jide feel remorse, I mean alot of it. But all the same, it is a story. I like. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by chinedumo(m): 6:10am On Nov 25, 2013 |
^they had no relationship yet for jide to betray. They had a marriage that jide had yet to consumate. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by Chuksemi(m): 4:30pm On Nov 25, 2013 |
chinedumo: ^they had no relationship yet for jide to betray.Not an excuse, jide was trying to build the marriage and the next thing he is suckling a woman in his sitting room? What if grace comes to tempt him again, he will fall, surely. I still insist that daisy forgave him too easily, to easily, I say. |
