It was supposed to be a drama-free day for me just like every other days, but the drama came into the picture. It was me. I was the problem. I mean, I was the actual drama. My heart wouldn’t stop beating hard and fast. I was almost sure that he heard the beats of my heart. It’s been a while since I felt this way. I realized I was smitten.
He is tall, brown-skinned, with beards in the perfect proportion. Loaded pocket? I didn’t know about that, but his softly deep voice caught my attention as he looked in my direction. “Can I use your pen?” Oh! Me? Okay. Yes, sure.
We met in a bank, each of us, with our individual businesses, however, I got more than my business. I got ‘the man of my dreams’ in my imagination. Oh yeah. Are you here to make a deposit? Hm.me? Yes. I found myself stuttering. I was indeed love-struck. Don’t blame me. He has all the physical features I want in my man.
The conversation continued, and we exchanged contact details. I sent him a WhatsApp message immediately because I really didn’t want him to forget about me. And, no, I didn’t want him to be another WhatsApp status updates viewer either.
I haven’t asked a man out in my life, so, I tried different Rizz in my head before I sent him the text 6 months after we met. “I think I like you. But I need to be sure if I can continue to like you or there is someone doing it better already?” Oh… He looked at me, speechless I could say. He didn’t expect me to say that. We’ve been friends for 6 months, and I hid it so well that I had a crush on him until now. So, it took him by surprise…
Okay, that was my imagination. In real life, I’m yet to tell him a thing about it, and we’ve been friends for a year now.
A hint into our friendship for the past 12 months. Whenever he had a bad day; I heard a lot about it. A contract went wrong, my number was never out of reach. He had a headache; he knows that I always have a solution. He is frustrated at home or at work, I always had soothing words for him. Apart from the fact that I am in love with him, my personality tends towards that of a listener than a talker around him, so, I wouldn’t say a thing about my day, or anything at all. Rather, I’ve been his backbone, listening to him, and just kept being the wonderful friend that I’ve always been to everyone else. Amidst all, I don’t think the feeling is mutual.
Or maybe it’s just my thought? Should I go ahead and ask him? What if I get rejected? Or I should rather wait till he realizes it himself or just let the feeling die a natural death? I am too shy to even talk to him about it, honestly. Perhaps I will just share the link to this post with him and go offline, then return later to read his replies. You can call me ‘the lover girl later’, but for now, I’ll take my ice cream alone in my room, and type out my feelings on here.
Picture is mine.
I’m broken but I just have to share my advice.😥
It’s not bad to ask him over. Sweep him
Off his feet and let him know how much you care for him. It’s better to ask and know than to wait and lose him. Remember you have no right to cry for something you never fought for. Take him out on a date and let him know, you have an amazing future together 🥰
I don't even have the confidence to do these. 😂 I will rather wait for the feeling to slowly fade away. The moment I say it, it'll become harder to remain friends if the rejection comes. Lol.
There is no rejection. Confidence isn’t a measure of fear. It’s only the brave who even fear. Cowards can’t even look it in the eye and say they are in love. I’ve been in this stage before. Trust me, it’s worth it if you let him know. Life gets better with them by your side. And if they don’t accept, it’s just a feeling that you will get use to. Never do harm to yourself because you think something can’t happen
Maybe I'll try. However, if I didn't update this comment after a week, just know that I didn't. 😂
Please do. Even though I would have wished you don’t 😂
😂
Breakfast successfully served.😂😂
I won’t mind you 😥😂

Oh dear! You needed to see how I was smiling at the part you told him about your feelings but it turned out to be our imagination 🥲
Well, I'm also the shy kind and don't think I'm in the best position to advice that you tell him about it either 😅
Let's take your ice cream together 🤣
The ice cream will surely be enough for us both. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
You sef goan wear a stone-proofed vest and let him know your feelings towards him.
Come to think of it,what's the worst thing that can happen?
The rejection bah? It's no biggie....
You wouldn't be the first lady to be rejected neither will you be last.
But on a lighter view,what if he felt the same way?
My dear! Life is too short to be scared of fighting for what or who you love.
"We all get to live life once" YOLO!
The ball is now in your court, play it safe.
I like your encouragement, but, I will rather chew spoon sha. 😂
Ok lover girl.. I might have to be a little harsh here but don't look at that but the message.
A closed mouth is a closed destiny.. Speak out before it's too late. Would you rather wait for someone else to come and steal your man because of your pride?.. Yes I can it pride cos that's what it is. What's there if you tell him how you feel. You won't die... If it works out, then fine and if it doesn't, then you know you are free instead of living in fantasy and dieing in silence.
You can thank me later😜
I will not die ooo, but, the friendship will die if it ends up not working out, and, I don't think I want to lose that friendship. Meanwhile, nobody is stealing my man because he is my man in my imagination not in reality... at least, yet. 😂
Face reality and stop living in your imagination dear. I guess you ain't ready to say something cos you prefer the friendship to your mental health right? ... I leave you to your fate.
Issorai. I appreciate your encouragement. Tankiu so much.
You are welcome.
You can’t be doing that to us now🥹
See how I was about to write aww God when only to know it’s just imagination
Come on😂
Anyway you can still go ahead to open up but just be careful.
You might think the worse is rejection but then it could also destroy your friendship.
Exactly why I am holding back is because of the friendship. It's just a feeling anyway, and with time, it will either wither or grow if properly watered, but, I don't have the water for it. Lol.
You better go and look for that water o😂
You are a girl you don't really need to say everything just give him the signs or green light and wait for his response that all but to be too clingy tho
I was never clingy. In fact, I make him come to me every time (there is a way to this). Lol. I don't intend to say a thing. This time, I'm just going to watch and wait till it grows or die completely. Thank you for this.
You are welcome 🙇
Never be too shy to approach who you love, me my problem is the fact that I don't trust anyone, to me love is a scam
Love is never a scam. I have felt it once, even though I ended up heartbroken, I really will fall in love, over and again if I have to. The prayer is to never fall in love with who's not worth it. But, what if we do? We try again after we dust ourselves properly.
Is the aspect of properly dusting ourselves that seems difficult because the dust never gets to finish
It will never finish, but, with consistent efforts and time, it'll be able to reach up to 60-70%, then, you can decide to try again.
That’s how you’ll be doing backbone job until someone comes to carry him away.
Shoot your shot my dear. If you can’t give him green light or send me to him so I will tell him on your behalf. Good men are scarce now so when you find one, hold him tight.😅
By the time somebody will carry him away or he will carry somebody, I would be over him already. 😂
That’s when the heartbreak will hit well, stop deceiving yourself.😂
