Double Dating: My Story
I got home by at 9.40pm that windy night. I did not even drop the food bags I was holding when I called her again. Her line was still switched off. I had a strong urge to call her mother and tell her that her daughter, my girlfriend, had gone missing, but a thought just occurred to me "what if she's gone to cheat again?"
Guess what I used that white wipe in my hand for?
A month before this particular night, I gathered from reliable sources complete with photo and video evidences that my girlfriend's fiance flew all the way from Lagos to Sokoto to come and see her. When I asked her, she convinced me that it was nothing to worry about. Before you crucify me because I said "my girlfriend's fiance," let me quickly say that at the time, I had no idea I was the third wheel. She had been with the other man since her university days, but I didn't know.
I confronted her with the allegations, and she denied at first, then she said that she did date the guy but they had been over a long time ago, and that the reason they met up when he came around was because he was owing her money from back when they were together, so she needed to act nice in order to get he money back. I believed her.
"Kai! This life..."
Back to that night, I ate my food, had a warm bath and resumed my most strenuous task of the day: trying to reach my girlfriend. I had begun to feel a mixture of both anger and fear. Anger because my suspicion may be right, an fear because 'what if something had happened to her?' It then occurred to me to call her friend. I didn't find the number on my phone. I searched hard, and with all of her government names, but nothing turned up. I remembered that I'd exchanged texts with this friend of hers so I headed to SMS app. There I found the texts under an unsaved number. Someone obviously deleted the number from my phone.
It was almost 11pm, but I called this friend. She picked and the first thing she said was "Shey you said you're a Christian? Why is my friend sleeping over at your place?" I was shocked, but I said something without planning or thinking.
"How did you even know?" I asked impulsively.
"She texted some hours ago," she replied. I could help but notice that she was beginning to sound agitated. Then she continued. "Where is she? Did she ask you to call me? Nobody looked for her o!"
"X is not here actually. I've been trying to reach her the whole day and that is why I called..." Her friend ended the call before I finished my statement.
I love to laugh.
A few weeks after that, I ran into X's friend (Ex's friend, if you may) at Chicken Republic. I was behind her at the counter making her order. I paid for her food and mine and we sat on the same table. We were talking about life in general when she suddenly apologised for what her friend did.
"That's what women do," I said, without conviction. She began to explain that she was against X's antics. She told me that that night, X told her that she going to my place so if the out-of-town fiance called, she (the friend) should say that X's phone developed a fault.
Then I asked: "Where then did she go?" Was there a third guy?
To whip away some tears..?😂
X" is actually not a good person, so she was owing this guy since they were together and didn't let it go? She wanted to be nice so she can collect her money back. Wow...
Sorry man, you got caught up with that palava but it's just a clear proof and indication you need a better person, more sincere than her..

It's easier to talk about it now than when it happened.
Thank you so much for your suggestion.
You actually used the wipe to wipe away your tears. It obvious you've shed some tears..oh boy, sorry about that!
It is the sentence for me 😄😄
That's most humans for you. But truth is X didn't do well at all. Why double dating? I wonder why girls, even guys, too can't stick to just one person and enjoy themselves. Must there be a third person again? That's infidelity and not a good thing.
It is everywhere. Both guys and ladies play these games. It's like there's a wave of infidelity or something. Something has to be done about it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to be done about it. Change starts from us. But the question is, who is ready to desist from such? It's a matter of individuality and choice.
It's my pleasure 😊

STOPSometimes one random action can start a chain of cool events. This was the case with https://hily.com/. I saw an ad, clicked "download", and now I'm registering, uploading photos, writing about myself. The app immediately won me over with its quality - no fakes, everything is thought out. I especially liked that Hily offers people by interests, and not just by geolocation. I indicated that I like sports, music and traveling - and began to receive matches with whom I really have something to talk about. I quickly found a girl who turned out to be a fan of the same bands as me. Now we text every day. Hily for me is not just a way to find a partner, but a tool for real communication. I didn’t think that an app could fit into everyday life so easily.
