You are overthinking things.

How can you keep saying you haven’t eaten for 3days without any explanation? Haba! Don’t you know that is Naija babes intro to ask for urgent 2k?

The guy is not psychic to know you were fasting. Whenever I tell a man I haven’t eaten, I always make sure I add the reason (e.g) Busy day, I am trying to watch my intake/weight...etc.

While it wasn’t so nice of him to disappear, we should remember that building relationships is hard in Nigeria because we suspect ourselves too much. Imagine if he kept telling you he is lonely.

It is okay if you want to block him, I just want you to know you are not entirely blameless. It takes time and trust to unlock certain aspects of a friendship...

God bless you

It is not about your kind of person, it is stereotyping. I am sure you are guilty of a few- I have spotted one sef. That is the same way he formed his own notion. You kept saying you haven’t eaten and it triggered his alarm...

you too get sense.

Poco bia, I'm not guilty of anything you spotted up there. I already explained I don't like letting people know when I'm fasting that was why I kept it that way and expected him to stop asking the first time I didn't give tangible reasons and didn't request from him either.

Ok, why did he keep asking without offering anything? That alone in itself is annoying but I didn't count it. Yet he kept asking, which was why I decided to play him.

I don't know the angle you're viewing this from but let me tell you, it's not what you think.

Gracias.
wait, just imagine what u asked here. Why did he keep asking without offering anything? So if he offered you for collect am well abi? That's the reason he gave you space. He saw through that reaction poco was talking about and he didn't want u to even ask probably he didn't have or didn't want to be perceived as a fool. That might not be your intention but sadly, 85% of ladies even here on NL use this strategy to ask. So while he has his own flaws here, you have yours too.

where i will fault this guy u met online is since he has been asking u out for a relationship then he ought to have been concerned to why u havent been eating and if it was lack of appetite then he would suggest u go to the hospital.the ghosting wasnt cool.but if u were expecting him to send money to u then u should know not everybody is financially bouyant.nigeria right now has economical issues any many nigerians cant even afford one meal in a day not to mention two meals so u cant just expect him to send u cash like that.As far as he didnt try to scam or bug u for money any bashing he recieves here is just an overkill.sometime ago a girl i knew on facebook told me her iphone got stolen and contribution that she was holding in her place of work got missing.that the ppl who have paid the contribution money were threatning her with the police and that also she needs a new iphone since her old iphone got stolen.that in all the total money she needs would be around 350k.that she will be greatful if i could help her and send her the money.i told her straight off i didnt have that kind of money and that the money i have in my account i budget it for rent,food ,light and other essentials.i dont need to prove i am nice and caring by dishing out money to random girls i see on social media.so this ur guy bleeped up by not asking what was the problem since he was asking u out for a relationship.but again if u look at it another angle he might not totally be at fault since he was maybe running away from potential billing.Anyway if u not too comfortable talking to him u can always block him.

You've said it all, my dear
No mind this OP
...Na her types dey make Boys dey worry Guys say Dem wan join dey do Gee

I've not eaten!
I've not eaten!!
I've not eaten!!!
At that point, if the guy had asked for your account details for him to credit your account, would you have told him not to bother himself, that you're actually fasting??

The guy acted the way most Nigerian guys who don't have normally act; they ghost you for a while when it seem like you'll soon make a demand

PS: The Guy No Get. and he ghosted you because you were making him feel useless due to his inability to send you something the times you kept telling him you've not eaten.

I'm struggling to get your drift.

You showed your displeasure at the way the nigga disappeared it at the smell of billing.

You also made an argument for him not being at fault 'since he prolly ran away from potential billing'.

I don't normally do this before but I am forced to because op and most commenting really misunderstood me. Yeah am the guy. I had to create this new account to hid my identity. Am Christian and everything I said and did I did with good intentions. Am not the type of guys that will blank or reject her because of money. I really wanted to her then. Infact one the reason I back peddled was because I couldn't assist then. She pose to me then like she was truly in need and I felt ashamed of myself. Not knowing she was lying. She could tell from my intentions then that I meant well. I was going through a lot of this then. Some of which the op knew about. I had this issue that landed me in court. Though she didn't know about the court issue. Am this type of person if am going through a ruff part, I don't like disturbing others. I keep things to myself. We just knew each other, and I cannot be sharing all this with you. If the op notice then, I wasn't if commenting on nl then. I was reserve in everything. Since
u dont need to explain urself
are u owning anybody money?
so why feel guilty?
the only little part u erred is that u should have asked what could be the issue she wasnt eating
if she had said oh she doesnt have money dats why she hasnt eaten then if u dont want to send money u will say dont worry God will provide
U shouldnt be pressured into sending money to ppl online
if u feel like sending to help out someone then send but if u dont have or u dont feel comfortable into sending dont allow someone to blackmail u into sending him or her money

u move with the tide.if u ask someone why he or she hasnt eaten and he or she tells u that its lack of appetite.suggest to the person to go to the hospital but if the person says its lack of money just say God will provide if u dont feel comfortable sending the money.i am saying this based on the fact that op said the guy he loved her and wanted a relationship.

yea based on our nature as nigerians.we always like to make up formats to scam other ppl.thats why i said i cant blame him if he ran away.but in a normal civilized chat u would ask why the person is not eating and if the person says lack of money then just say God will provide.Its as simple as that.

Long post. Please bear with me.

This trait seems to be common among some Nairaland men (with apologies to all the men here though) cos I never really experienced such attitude with men ive met offline. So don't know whether they have a nairaland men's association (not the red pillars or mgtow kinda thing though) where they agree to behave likesome. The way they reason sometimes just baffles me.

Ok. So, I met someone here as a friend and I wanted it to stay that way. Along the line, he wanted more than just friendship but I just kept dodging because I don't want any issues as he's a good friend (a born again) and I like our friendly chats and all that. So didn't want anything serious that could jeopardize that but he kept pressing on and stressing until I naturally began to feel relaxed (against my wish) you know how that constant checking on someone tends to make one want to compromise their Stance. So I sort of got trapped.

Now here's the issue. He would always want to know about my biz and job. If I went or not. So I decided to test him. He would always call and ask if I've eaten. So that day, I said no (was fasting) but didn't want to divulge it to him that I was fasting. He called later in the day and asked again, I said I've not eaten, he dropped. I now felt he prolly thought I wanted him to feed me huh??.. I observed he reduced his calls. Third day he called and asked again, I said no. And he said "na wa o" I was like why, he said I'm sorry I can't help. Huh?? I don't remember asking him so I decided to play along. He called in the evening, I still said I've not eaten ( cos I had not broken my fast then) and he said I'm sorry ( I was just laughing within). I asked him, for what? he said because he couldn't help. And since then he stopped calling only to chat after a week to ask if the biz I was pursuing was through. I ignored him and for two months no contact.

Just last night he chatted me up again asking if I've resumed work and I said yes. he then asked if he's free to call me bla bla. And since last night hes been trying to keep up chats but I'm kinda cold towards him and he asked why I'm so cold. Acting like nothing happened.

Now, this is what I feel. so if someone is truly dying of hunger (God forbid) you'll abandon the fellow? or that they can't date someone who's biz is shaky or has not resumed work due to a global crises that affected everyone? I'm not saying anybody should carry someone else's burden ( there was really no burden anywhere as God has been faithful.) but I don't understand what actually played out there and why he's all of a sudden interested again after learning I've resumed work. I don't just understand because I don't want to be rude. Was that a right thing?

I'm really confused here because.. I mean.. I never asked you to help me with anything but being there would have been enough. Calling and chatting would have helped me scale through the bordom I felt that period of compulsory break from work and biz but he went into Oblivion even when I never placed any demands on him.

I bow to men and the way they reason o.


That person is a gold digger ...you will soon find a real man ...unfortunately most real men are still struggling

Someone mentioned here that it shouldn't have come to that but since they both come across as people with 'no wide interests', they had nothing interesting to talk about to sustain an intelligent conversation.
