Signs he’s not ‘The One’

Its been a while since i updated, i'm a very erratic blogger obivously. I write the posts then forget to post them until till many months later.  I'm sure we all have at some point dated these sort of individuals at some point in our dating 'careers' so to speak. Below are some of the more obvious signs, atleast in my experience:

1.        He never introduces you to his friends

2.      He never wants to meet your friends or family of course

3.     He takes you to his family home and tells you to hide when his Mom is coming….hide where exactly?

4.      He always has ‘business’ calls where he needs to leave the room

5.      He loves you so much that he forgets to feed you when you are with him….you should be able to live on love after all.

6.      He borrows money from you to return after a week and then you have to hound him to get it back after months which of course results into a huge argument

7.       He wears red shoes! Yes you read correctly RED shoes

8.       He thinks Ibonics is being posh…buh=but;  haz usually…was quite baffled for a while as he is from the northern part of the country.

9.       He never supports you especially if it differs from his own opinion 

10.   He is very unreliable, ‘I’ll be right there’ and 3 hours later he hasn’t shown up.

11.    You end up apologizing even though he’s the one that’s at fault…sigh

12.    He’s an expert at emotional blackmail…

WOW, I could go on and on because the list is endless. I’m just happy that I managed to escape, LOL and I’m stronger from the experience.

So please feel free to share your own experiences with not ‘The One’.

Popcorn Bandit, Romantic or Not?

So a lot has happened to me since my last post, can believe its been over three years, and how time flies. Lets see where do I start from? The beginning is always best; I shall have to break it down into a series of stories. No one wants to be reading about me for hours I'm sure.

So I went out on a date with this guy that I had been speaking to for a while but hadn't gone out with yet. We go to the cinema to watch a movie and get Popcorn and drinks and he carries them all inside and I remember thinking to myself: “Nice, a gentleman”.

Anyway we get to our seats and he hands me my popcorn and we start watching the movie, next thing I know he leans over and dips his hand into my popcorn and stares longingly and says to me: “Naki zan ci”(I want to eat yours in Hausa). I was so creeped out because it didn't sound like he was talking about popcorn! LOL and couldn't hide my expression, all these thoughts flashed through my mind: “NYAMA! I have only just met you”,”I don't know where that hand has been” and I'm weird about people eating off my plate so to speak without asking. He noticed I didn't like it and offered to get me another and I sorta felt bad(not really) but said no, and spent the rest of the movie trying to eat from the bottom of the bag without being so obvious. At least the movie was good so it wasn't a total loss. 

So please I need your opinion, was that romantic or not?

Happy New Year!

Hmm.....

Cant believe that 2007 ended with me being single yet again. When is all this going to end....LOL.

To all the ladies that got married in 2007 I wish you a happy married life and to those of us left behind, Ladies i have a feeling that this will be our year. It has to be......right?

I just had to write that, even though i decided that this year i'm not going to keep lamenting on the fact that i'm still single but instead concentrate on how i can grow in my career.

No more procrastination......i'm the worst kind. More action....

So ladies lets enjoy the time we have left being single and use this time to do all the things we want to do and might never have the chance to do again when we get hitched.

Rain = Traffic

Is it just me or has anyone else out there noticed that rain seems to automatically lead to traffic? I mean is there a sign out there that says: ' Its raining, common lets all drive like maniacs' ?

I live in a relatively busy city in Nigeria where traffic is controlled most of the time, except for days when its raining and then its complete chaos.

I mean where is everyone rushing to?

Surely they must realise that the rain is just water not acid and will not get through the roofs of their cars, nor are they made of salt and will melt?

I don't know what folktales they all must have been told as kids, cos they all seem to have the same incontrollable urge to flee once the rain starts, regardless of if there are in their cars or not.

Sure no one likes to get cold and wet, but people if you are already in your cars when the rain starts, its highly unlikely that you'll get wet, besides a little rain never hurt anyone.
