RULES TO DATING....

Wow!!! I missed my readers and am sure you guys missed me too. It has been a while I thought about writing or even wrote anything. A lot has happened since my last post though, and when I say a lot I mean a "whole lot". But the genuine reason why I decided to pick up my pen to write today, is because someone called me and asked 'wat's up with your blog?' And I was like Uhmmmmmmmn.. No cogent reason"

It has really been a while I wrote but even before then my friends and readers have been asking when will you post your next write up and all, thanks y'all for care, inspiration and for having faith in me that I need to keep doing this.

I really don't know what story I want or should write about because so much has happened lately and I want to share almost everything with you guys, I wonder why I am always writing when least inspired though. I decided am going to ask my readers `What are the rules to/ for dating in this new form of society we have now?' Have been out of the game for to long so I don't even know anything anymore.

It all started one cool evening while I was busy watching one of my many series. While at it I heard a familiar voice scream my name from outside my house 'Shantelle shantelle shantelle freaking open the freaking door' I screamed back 'shut your trap joor' , I got up reluctantly to open the door for funmi who was sticking out her tongue at me, I shook my head and said 'y the hell are you shouting silly? Cant you just knock', she just eyed me and went inside, (thinking aloud) I said `I know get your time silly'. We went in my room together.

After watching the series together for a while, funmi picked up the remote with no excuse and paused the movie, I rolled my eyes at her and asked 'but Wetin happen now? y u pause am' she was like 'oya nor vex', I just wanted to ask you if there are any rules to dating now because me I don't understand oh' my reply was 'for real you asking me that funmi, when was my last relationship babe? She shrugged 'you liking someone now, so I jus felt you know or something'.

She went on to tell me about some babe in her office who met this cool guy and things have been going on fine with them, they have gone on couple of dates, hung out together and are always seeing each other almost every day, then all of a sudden they both went out with the guy's friend and he started introducing her as his girlfriend, which hit the babe as a surprise, not like its a big issue or anything but she said the guy never asked her out now, so why call me your girlfriend when you haven't made it official??.

She told me about another babe who met this guy and told her 'mehn after the date, we went to his apartment and before we knew it one thing led to another, we had serious sex' even though they 've been talking over the phone for a while now but that was the first time he laid eyes on her and that happened and they are doing good. Then another babe that tried that sort of thing and got dumped the next day. She went ahead and said another one she heard was about a guy who met this chick and said babe lets not have sex now, if we can keep it up till marriage fine and the babe caught him red handed in bed with another chick and she starts to wonder why the guy has said that in the first instance, not like she forced him or anything. And another who said the same thing that guy said, he and his girlfriend are both faithful to each other and promise to wait till after they are married.

We both discussed about a lot of scenarios we had heard of or been a witness to, we kept asking each other what are  the rules to dating because really it can be confusing and dicey. *sigh*

First I told her there are no rules to dating because it differs from one person to the next
people are different, just like the saying "different strokes for different folks"

• be careful but don't be too careful
• trust but verify
• be your real self always because you always attract those who are like you
• play your game your own way not other people's way
• be true to yourself
• learn to shut your mouth because not everyone that listens actually wants to help.
• Pray fervently... it always works

Like I said earlier there are no rules to dating because it differs, different people, personalities, behaviour, ethnics, backgrounds, family etc . Just pray for a heart that loves you regardless of how stupid, troublesome or annoying you can be. Someone who loves you and all your plenty baggage.
Remember don't push it, it will happen if it's meant to happen.....

What's your opinion? I'd really love to hear them...

Best regards
