Do not take pictures or videos of both of you kissing and post them online. Don’t even allow the person to do it. Do not allow someone who is not your spouse to set up a camera for both of you to do a public display of affection and post it on the internet, please. You may think it’s cool or think everyone is doing it. No, everyone is not doing it. The algorithm is only showing you those doing it because you see those types of content often. If they break up with you, you will cry and lose so much weight people will think you’re on a weight loss diet.
If you visit the person, please do not spend multiple days in the person’s house. You have a home, visit and go back. If you must sleep over, ensure you go back to your home precisely on the day you say you would. If you want someone to take you seriously, they should be able to see you keep your word. You can always come back another time. Don’t stay and start wearing their polo and performing wife duties on top small relationship of three months. You will cry ooo! Shame will cook hot noodles with egg on top your head.
Avoid going to certain locations with the person and allowing them to touch you inappropriately in front of their friends. You follow the person to a nightclub, smoke weed and drink till you pass out, yet somehow you think a miracle will make such a person end up with you? How? Unless you have your own plans, please treat yourself with the grace and carriage you deserve.
Do not take up the financial responsibilities of another person on a promise they will end up marrying you. If they love you so much to want your money but pause your proposal, they can accept to marry you now, and other things can follow. An adult who is old enough to marry should not tell you to be giving them money to sort their needs while they think about your proposal. If they tell you after a couple of years you’re not in their class again, you’ll come here to start dragging innocent people who had no idea who hurt you and finish the soap in your bathroom.
Avoid leading the person on for no reason before I pour you spit. You know you have no real intentions for this person except to spread them like butter on bread, but you keep emotionally blackmailing them if they don’t call you or if they do something you assume puts them in positions where eligible people will see the person. Witch!
Until someone defines clearly what both of you are doing, you are single. Everybody is an adult, and no one should keep you guessing about what their intention towards you is. You have a lot going on in your life, so don’t add to the stress. “Emeka, ichoro ilam?” If the person wants a genuine relationship that will lead to marriage, lay it bare, and both of you will know what is going on. If it is just fun, both of you can set weekly timetable for kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, sink, car, car booth and on the floor.
If you send them your nudes, they will send it to their friends. Your eyes will peel!
Everyday quarrelling will leave you mentally exhausted and uninspired to do important things throughout the day. If a matter gets serious over text, just pick up the phone and settle it. The more you allow someone to eat deep into your emotions, the harder it will be to let go.
