Romance › Re: Did I Do Wrong By Sending Her This Message? by CalmElder(m): 4:53pm On Oct 29
goran3310:
You’re making a lot of assumptions here. A woman replying quickly to your messages, liking your posts, and checking up on you doesn’t automatically mean she’s romantically interested in you.

She told you she couldn’t date a guy like you, and instead of accepting her answer, you accused her of playing mind games. Then you claimed you never liked her anyway. Really? If you never liked her, why were you pursuing her in the first place?

As for her looking sad the next morning, you have no idea why she was sad. Maybe your reaction hurt her, maybe she was disappointed in how you handled things, or maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with you.

And here’s the biggest flaw in your argument: a woman can reject you without hating you, and she can feel hurt by your behavior without wanting a relationship with you. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

You’re interpreting her every move through the lens of your own ego and then generalizing about all women based on one personal experience.

Maybe she was sending mixed signals, maybe she wasn’t. But one thing is clear: you seem more concerned with proving that she wanted you than with accepting that she didn’t want a relationship with you.

That’s not understanding women. That’s refusing to accept rejection.
Op.

Don't allow anyone to guilt trip you.

"I can't date a guy like you" is a harsh way of saying no to a man.

What are other states waiting for?
It needs very careful review.

How to generate money for enlistment, training, uniforms, weapons, logistics, equipments, salary etc

It's very important so that they can finish what they started.

Some states are poor.

If you are the child or wife of a wealthy polygamist, just know that you in competition. Make wise moves.

Avoid men and women who feel it's cool to have multiple partners. They will make you feel you are missing out if you stay loyal to your partner.

Observe his or her fashion style and get clothes and footwears that suits the dress.

If at any time you insist on having your way, it be that you are teaching him to submit to authority. Let those times be few, or you will destroy that confidence .

Romance › Re: Why Do Some Women Return To Their Ex After Breakup? by CalmElder(m): 9:52am On Sep 23
Eriokanmi:
Several reasons...

I dated a couple of ladies in the past. We didn't have any issues. One of them.was the only child of the family and her parents had her in their old age. They wanted her to get married on time when I was in my final year as an undergrad student. She got married and still wanted to reconnect. We're just friends today but with no strings attached. According to her, her only life regret was that she didn't wait for me. She had a delay for over 10 years after I had concluded on having kids.

The other lady didn't take me seriously. I went and got married to another lady and she started blamimg me, that I didn't open up for any serious relationship...that kain excuses wey some ladies always come up with, in order to come clean and exonerate themselves. She later said her regret was that she didn't stick to me. She still wanted to enjoy life while i was ready . She didn't have another bf but she just felt it was too early for her to settle down.

I broke up with the 3rd lady cos she wasn't trustworthy i ket after the 1st one.She had another guy but hiding it. She later reconnected after she got married. No strings attached, we're just fiends and I still help them the best way I can.
You are a good man.

The moment a girlfriend marry, I am respecting that marriage even if she doesn't.

Sometimes, you use money because you have to cure konji and not, necessarily because you want love.

It's not everyone that has the time and patience for women in the time we're in.

No


Actually, military rule isn't the best for any nation, but sometimes, it's we the civilians that brings them in.
Can you imagine Timi Priye Silva allegedly providing that humongous amount of money for the project.
It's always a civilian that will provide the money.
For their selfish interests.

LagosOrigin:
Nigerians would have been much happy if the coup succeeded

It would have been widely celebrated like the death of general sanni abacha
Maybe the younger generation of Nigerians who did not experience military rule will celebrate, we the older ones will never celebrate.

Is it not unaccountable military rule that brought us into this mess we're in, from 1966?

Do you know the rate at which states were progressing under Shagari before Buhari overthrew the government?

Do you know why Major Iorshe was planning to overthrow the Babangida government, and hand power back to civilians?


Military rule is not good and has never benefited the nation.

You will find a good person. Don't be tempted to become bitter and resentful toward ALL ladies.

OlaOfLagos:
Just as we have the word “BAD” we also have have the word “GOOD”

If there’s no word for “CHEATING” there won’t be a word call “FAITHFULNESS”

The way we have cheating partners, same way we have Faithful Partners

You’re not being faithful doesn’t mean others are not. It is just a mindset
I wish it were possible to give you a thousand likes.

Bitter men and women are promoting evil and mumu people are allowing them to corrupt their minds.

There are good people. Simple.

Igbophobia:
Igbo a maka ndi be anyi unu na-anu

I didn't even open the page to know Igbo must be there. An Igbo-only country will be beautiful. Scattered in 13 state, united as one.

If anything is by merit in this country, Igbo must be there!

But if it's by nepotism, you know now...
This line of thought is the reason the southern minority ethnic groups are wary of supporting the agitation.
