Dear diary,
I am sure you are curious how things are with my newest man Hakeem? Did I tell you I met him on this new dating site https://singleparents.com.ng/spng/
After all my disappointments I never thought I could find real love again. I had met men through other people. Didnt work. Met people through dating sites also very disappointing. Remember the one I told you about? That lied on a dating site to me? Well you can follow that story here https://www.facebook.com/101281118002330/posts/112163836914058/
I had another embarrassing episode too so I decided to stay off dating sites. However Dami my friend suggested I tried this new one as it had lots of safety features and really sincere guys who wanted single parents so I tried it and it's the best decision I ever made next to divorcing my ex.
I am sure you are curious to find out more about the site but first let me tell you the last experience that made me swear off dating sites till I found this new one.
So I joined this really cool super popular dating site. I was excited. I hoped that I would truly find someone worthy and sincere seeing it was really hyped. I put all best pictures. Answered all the questions and even wrote a very long and heartwarming epistle about myself. Then proceeded to wait for Mr right.
1st couple of days it was all scammers and fake people. I started to get discouraged. I started feeling like maybe love just wasn't for me. I decided to stay on till my subscription ran out anyway but stopped going to the site.
On a Saturday morning I woke up and there was that fateful mail from the dating site- Meena, you have got a message from an admirer. Click to view his profile. I had a long boring day ahead of me so I decided ....why not? So I clicked and went on to the site.
I went through the guy's profile. He looked....normal. Not handsome enough for my taste. But I swear everything about his response was just right! And he was a widower with a 10 year old boy. Good age for a step child I thought. Not too small not too old. It was the last day of my subscription so I decided to give it a shot before I give up completely on dating sites.
So the guy shot his shot and cupid struck my heart!!! Dramatic, yeah? But well that was how I felt......apart from ....his plain looks.
So we started chatting back and forth. He was quite intelligent and humorous.
Sent me pictures of himself and his son.
Actually sent me loads of pictures of himself under different circumstances. I couldn't but believe he was real.
We continued to communicate daily. Mostly in the evenings. For 2 months. Getting to know each other. I loved his sense of humor and intelligence. He said he loved my intelligence and carefree spirit. I felt this was a match made in heaven. He said he wanted 2 more children. I said I wanted only 1 so we agreed on 1. Everything was perfect!
We finally agreed to meet.
He wanted us to meet at his house. I told him it wasn't safe. We had to meet somewhere open. After a lot of back and forth. I decided to trust him but decided to share my location on google maps with Dami throughout the visit.
The d-day arrived. I dressed up modestly. Not my usual self. Because I sensed him to be a modest guy. And off I went. With lots of anxieties and praying things work out. His address was in a middle class neighborhood. Nothing out of place. That also kind of reassured me.
I found the house quite easily and knocked. No response. Knocked again. No response. I started sweating. Knocked one last time and as I started turning my back to leave, the door opened. There he stood. At the door. Handsome in his simplicity. I knew I had met the man I wanted to marry. I couldn't stop myself. I threw myself into his arms and hugged him.
"Wait, wait wait!!! Who are you?" He said while pushing me away!
Who are me? Who are I? Who is me? All these thoughts went through my head.
"Dennis?! It's me Meena! We are supposed to be meeting today after 2 months on the dating site and you are all I dreamed you would be!"
He looked shocked. Went mute for a about a minute while I looked on wondering what was going on. Then he shouted..."Kunle, Kunle!! Kunle!!!"
Downstairs came his 10 year old boy I had been seeing in his pictures but he looks....13/14. Did he age that fast over the past 2 months?! I will figure that out later.
"Kunle, you are responsible for this right? He asked pointing at me. Kunle was quiet.
Well, you had better explain yourself to her. I have told you I am not interested on relationships at the moment. You really need to stop doing this."
I was confused. And sweating.
Anyway, to summarise. Kunle was the one I had been chatting with. His father was a widower who didn't want a relationship but Kunle was intent on finding him one and I fell in the trap.
I wept profusely.
Dennis apologised.
Good thing is we became platonic friends
But I swore off all dating sites till I found this new one where I met Mike.
More on that later.
