Why Gaslight Me? 2

 

A guy meets a lady, they connect very well. They talk almost 24/7 a day. Nothing about getting into a relationship was mentioned. He assumes they are dating by the many projections from the lady. She also can sense that he likes her and pretends that she is in with him whereas there's the main guy that she is seeing seriously. 

He noticed that he can't see her status anymore but doesn't see that as a big deal. 

She cooks for him and in return he will regularly get her a bouquet of flowers 🌺💐 from Konga and orders Rose 🌹 on Jumia.

She smells it, 'hmmm, it smells nice,' she said✨😁

He has changed her name on his phone to 'Till Infinity'. She sees it and she pretentiously blushes before him. 

They both had a video call with Mama in the village. His father is late.

Mama prayed for both of them 'I will carry your children', they both said 'Amen'. 

This guy is a nice guy but she doesn't like him enough to be her husband but won't tell him so that the many gestures won't stop. 

She likes his company and the attention he gives but that's all.

He wanted to see her mother and father ,she stylishly declined and when he insisted, she got angry with him. He runs back to beg.

Knowing he is deeply in love with her, She ignores his calls at will and she is sure he will call back even if she doesn't return the call. 

She has pulled him in so deep that he needs a strong force to pull him out. 

Gradually, she plans her wedding with the main guy. She starts distancing herself from the other guy. She won't call and when she picks, she will give one word answers.

The guy is afraid he will lose her and thinks maybe if he calls more, he will get his woman back. 

He keeps calling and the more he does the more she doesn't pick and the more he falls deep. 

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty?😂

Depression sets in. She blocks him from seeing her status permanently. One day, he accidentally checks her status with another line, only to see her and her main guy eating barbecue at a popular eatery in Lekki.

He thought he must be the cousin she spoke about as she once told him that she has a cousin with 'Beards'. 

This must be him, he convinced himself.

She noticed he checked her status and quickly blocked him there too. 

One day, he gets a prompt and it is from a WhatsApp group of alumni of UI. He checks and it's a wedding IV. He downloads to check and sees a name that looks familiar to his 'Till Infinity' but he believes that 100 persons can bear one name. Not a big deal, shey? 

Not long after, someone requested that the poster post pre-wedding shots. Two picture drops. He downloads and sees 'Till Infinity' striking a fine pose with the guy with 'Beards'.

Wrapping up😁 - In business, relationship and corporate world... 1. Be clear about the terms. Be clear what you both or all are doing very early. 2. Be present. 3. Be kindly curious.

So gbo?
