Being happily married to a loyal woman (SPDAZZY) for 10 years and I will always count my marriage a blessing from God.

Never being insensitive to her demands but has proven to be Godly, virtuous, loving wife and mother, something now quite rear about this generation of women.

Our commitment is for happily ever after!

By the way, she’s also very brilliantly and only recently became a phd holder from a UK top university.
Bros as a guy, hold on to that woman.
Nothing better dey outside oh.

As U said na God's blessing to you

A man has taken to X (Twitter) to share a costly and disappointing first-date experience, revealing that he spent over ₦100,000 on food and transportation only for the relationship to fizzle out immediately afterward.

In his post, he explained that he went on a first date where he spent ₦109,000 on food and an additional ₦18,000 on a Bolt ride.

Despite the grand gesture, the connection didn’t last.

He recounted some of the frustrations from the date, saying that they first ordered food worth ₦90,000, which they couldn’t finish.

Only for her to order more stuff, then pack the whole food, the leftovers, and the newly ordered ones home, without asking if he cared for any.

Reflecting on the experience, he advised caution for future dates, promising never to involve himself in such again.

He concluded his post with a blunt takeaway, saying he thinks he’s better off alone because he’s tired of meeting ‘funny’ people.

The post has since resonated with many online, sparking conversations about first dates, expectations, and the modern dating experience.

His tweet read;

“Went on a first date two weeks ago. Food 109k, bolt 18k. Now we aren’t talking anymore. Learned to never do that again. If you aren’t going on a walk or to a restaurant I recommend, and you recommend more expensive ones, I’ll ghost from there.

First ordered food of 90k, which we couldn’t finish. Only for her to order other stuff. Then they packed the rest of the food, and she took it all without asking if I cared for any. ngl I’m better off alone. Tired of meeting funny people.“
He offered me food on our first date and I said I was fine, I only watched him and his friend eat. He insisted and I still said no.
I didn't want to collect anything from him because I wasn't ready to be in a relationship with him.

Boom! He's now my husband 🤭

Why would you let a lady dictate the tempo of the date? As a man, you are supposed to be the one leading, not the other way around. I make it a rule to take women to places I am familiar with—my 'home turf'—rather than places they demand.

Also, my Nigerian ladies, please normalize ordering only what you can afford! It is embarrassing to be stranded. I recently had to clear a bill for a lady’s catfish and drinks because the guy she went on a date with ran away and left her there.
I am disappointed in u too for clearing the bills, u go carry wetin no concern u or rather ur eye dey her body, for me I will ignore her, teach them lessons they won't forget

My advice: First time date: Meet at a quick service restaurant and order snacks and drinks. Be observant. Your assessment of her would determine if she's someone you want to have a relationship with.

If she's a wife material, then you can lavish your wealth on her.

Don't give up.

Just 109K and he's complaining.
How about me that spent 422K on a date with a random girl.
That wasn't even my first time.
I once took a girl out. It was our first dinner together. She chose a really plush place and I liked it too. The food was good. So was the wine.
Absolute ambience with a touch of everything in the right place and size.
It was absolutely phenomenal.
After that, we went to a club.
Danced and wined.
Another 710K splashed!
But I loved every moment of that evening.
Funnily enough, I didn't even ask her name. Neither did she ask me my name.

Okay!
Now the real part...
The first date was in my dream and the second was in my former life 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The problem with guys is that, they love going out with girls that dosent like them, or in some cases, trying to procure girls.

No girl in her right senses will suggest or order in a restaurant where food are sold more than 20-40k at most, depending on the location.

In fact, for first dates, you shouldn't spend more than 20k at most and where you will be choosing should be a very basic place, where you are able to have a very good conversation.

First dates are the most important and should be where you will eat/drink the bearest minimum. Also, before first dates, you should have been vibing to an extent and you are just taking the relationship a bit further.

Before you will take any girl on a date, make sure she can also take you on a date and I have a perfect test, try as much as possible to ask what her thought is on a girl supporting her man or taking her man out.

For example, if she ask, where do you live or work, you can say something like, awnnn, so you want to bring me lunch or you want to take me out, and you say, I live very close to you with smile emoji, notice her reponse.

If she's like, how will a woman take a man out, or I can't spend on any man or, it's men that take women out, Follow up with something like, do you mean when you are mine, you won't take me out? Watch what she says and it should be enough to end the conversation, no stress.

Guys stop wasting your time and resources, carry OS instead.

His first mistake was to go where he can spend 109k on the first date.

From the beginning, you can always predict the end. If on a first date, you begin hear funny locations like sheraton restaurant, or some rooftop places, you should not go there unless you can afford it.

Trying to give the perception of ''money no be problem'' is bad. If she think you are broke for being frugal, then she just confessed that she is not good for you. You cant have high tatse on someone's else pocket.

Men should understand that since they have the responsibility to spend, then they also have the right to choose how, where, and what to spend on. ''Responsibilities'' and ''rights'' go hand in hand.

If a girl insist on a particular place to meet and it seems expensive, playfully ask if she is the one taking you out. If her response seems like she is expecting you to foot the bills, then decline if it is above your budget.

A woman that likes you will happily meet you at a bus station, and walk in a park with just a bottle of water and groundnut.

How will you go and pay 90k for food? And pay uber 18k? Are you not mad.

Such effort for something you are not sure of. Who are you trying to impress?

Guys, please stop trying to impress ladies by spending extravagantly.

First date, plates of jollof rice with beef in a good eatery. Option 2: Buy meat pies, a pack of Hollandia or juice and bottle waters.

Second date,take her to a park. Buy snacks & soft drinks.

Third date, invite her over to your house. Cook a good meal for yourself, get soft drinks and alcohol too. A good movie too.

If you do all these and she still says no, let her go peacefully. You no lose cuz u had fun too.
What fun man!!!
