“I didn’t like him enough to date him” – Lady shares how she married the university friend she once rejected

A Nigerian lady has shared how a man whose romantic advances she initially turned down while they were in university eventually became her husband.Buy Maps

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the lady explained that although she liked him, she did not have strong enough feelings for him to consider dating him at the time.

She revealed that they remained friends despite not being on the same page romantically, adding that she dated other people while they were in school.

According to her, he remained the person she could always confide in, as he understood her regardless of what she was going through.

The lady explained that their relationship took a different turn in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, when they continued talking and she realised she had developed feelings for him.

She disclosed that she eventually gave him an ultimatum, telling him they could no longer remain friends if they were not going to date.

In her words, she said:

“I said, ‘You know what? If we don’t date, we can’t be friends again.’ So we had this one week where we’re not talking to each other, which was very weird, actually. We’ve not gone one week without talking to each other since the ten years we’ve known each other.

I’m like, ‘You know, if we don’t date, we can’t talk again because I have feelings for you now.’ But he was like, ‘No, you broke my heart several times. I’m not going to date you.’

I’m like, ‘I can’t do this. If you can’t get past what has happened, let’s stop being friends.’ And so we did get to this point where we realised that we can’t do without each other, and that’s how we started dating in 2020.”

The lady’s story has highlighted how a long-standing friendship can eventually develop into a romantic relationship, even when one person initially rejects the other’s advances.

“While We Were in School, I Didn’t Like Him Enough to Date Him. After Dating Two Other Men, I Later Realised He Was the One Who Understood Me the Most.”

Well I just hope she made the right choice

He’s the last option, like the fall back plan 🤣😂🤣

:::


I can bet she is in her evening newspaper phase that's why she was issuing demands and ultimatums after having the time of her life. Then suddenly remembers she got feelings for the poor guy.


I pity the poor guy. After 10 freaking years of water passing under the bridge!!!!

Talk of the rejected stone becoming the corner stone last option.

It's understandable to pity her for being past her prime, very near menopause and desperate to settle down with the next available gullible guy. Especially when you are probably birds of similar plumage and viewing from inside the same cork shoe 👠


:::

Let's assume she was 18 during her uni, 10 years to the time she started giving ultimatum she will be 28. Let's assume she was above 18, just add 10 years to it. It's a clear knowledge of "when the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable" at that point, any man should marry me whether I like him or not (Desperation)

When I see or hear our gender of above 25 forming hard 2 get for a man they like/love, I just smh

It's easier for a man to approach a thousand girls he likes compared to us to either approach or be approached by 1 man we like.

A patient dog eats the fattest leftover bone!

And the man come dey smile like a Scottish football club.

The major benefit of picking him is that it will take years before his eyes open to the fact that she’s no different from anyone else.

They fit each other.

Don't ask me why.

I will never get married to women with this stewpid mentality, and if I ever stumble on this post as the husband, I will make sure we are separated.

If you didn't like me then, you will never like me again talk more of transiting it into love.

For the malu wer dy smile mind now, em don finally get this babe.

Left over munchers

U sabi
Na the guy be last option

After the bad boys she ran after during her prime days have used and dumped her, she crawled back to the simp that had been in her friendzone since time immorial to now cover her shame with marriage. Simping is a serious disorder

After the other guys have chop, cleaned mouth and left. It’s now the turn of mr. nice guy to eat the leftover.

Last resort, not like you like him now

From her narrations it's clear she was disappointed by other guys, she has no any options that to give the simp green light

Leemzyy:
Well I just hope she made the right choice

When the simp tear eye later and start to enjoy his own prime days, she should not complain. Women enjoy their prime and when men start to enjoy theirs later, they will start crying cheating. Men enter their prime at 40s and 50s so let no one stop this gentleman when he gets to that stage.

When will you marry your own ?

The woman's feelings for the man is not as important as the man's feelings.
Marry a man who loves you. A man you can submit to.
It is this feeling things that has led many ladies into marriages they later regret entering.

Omor the guy don Bleep up.

The only reason she fall back to the guy was because her plans And B failed and not love.

This guy is nothing but a man who eats the crumbs that fell from the table.
😂🤣😂

After the other two men don finish eating, you come pack leftovers dey eat.
😂🤣😂
