How Do I Make A Move Towards A Neighbor? by Familymatterss(op): 7:41am On May 18, 2025
I moved into a new apartment early last year, and I've enjoyed the change of scenery.

There's this single lady in the compound, likely to be in her late 20s, she is beautiful and attractive. I'm very much interested in her, but I'm concerned about being rejected and the awkwardness of seeing her regularly if she turns me down. I also worry about how it might affect our interactions with other neighbors if she were to share that I approached her with other neighbors.

Should I take the risk and ask her out, or should I respect the boundaries of our neighborly relationship? If you think I should pursue her, what's the best way to approach her, considering I have her contact from our WhatsApp group?

we greet and talk normally, but I don't feel it's best to approach her when she seek for help, won't it look like I'm an opportunist for approaching her coz she seek for personal help?

Op, If I am going to be very honest with you ,in my own humble opinion without being sentimental and judgemental ofcourse, and without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view and my point of opinion, and also by looking into this your Neighbour to neighbour relationship matter in a distinctive perspective , I would like to say that I have nothing to SAY!!!.

Happy Sunday Op

I get your point, but what if the intention is to settle with her and also avoid anything intimacy until after settling?

Dating Relationships amongst neighbors in same house or compound often times fail to work out.

I will advice that you take your dating games or business outside your residential compound till one of you exits that compound, then you can come for her, if it isn't late.

well, your situation might not be the same with mine, and this are 2 pairs of different people with different reactions to things.

It is your risk not mine. Few words are enough to influence or deepen the thoughts of the wise.

A man concerned about rejection.

Are you sure you are a man?
Re: How Do I Make A Move Towards A Neighbor? by Englishisamust: 10:03am On May 18, 2025
Once you start dating her. If you are not smart, know say na your house and money go suffer aam. She no go dey pay rent again, na u go dey buy food stuff... But one thing I'm pretty sure be say u go get fresh and sweet knacking steadily depending on how u play your game well!!. My own advice is to just be friends with her first. If you see say na person u fit risk aam for. Go ahead!!! grin grin
Re: How Do I Make A Move Towards A Neighbor? by Myrepublic(m): 10:10am On May 18, 2025
Don't toast her o. I repeat don't toast her..
Just be friends with her.. Bestie kind of Friend..


You dey fear rejection? Rejection makes you stronger in the game.

If you date her,you go dey responsible for all her bills.. and your kitchen is finished.

And she will so use you.. but as besties,you fit still make strict decisions,cux emotions won't be involved.

Why don't you look for a lady outside your compound?
Re: How Do I Make A Move Towards A Neighbor? by Adexgentle005(m): 11:11am On May 18, 2025

Let it be in your dictionary because that’s the best for you at the moment. If you see the seriousness in her then you can take it to the next level and leave the area.
