Hey guys!
What’s good?
Happy new week to you all...
Not much have been going on in my Love life o...
Okay except for my suitor from Holland. Yea the one I spoke about in my last post. The one whose English is not Kosher(like Afrobabe puts it,lol…)
Let's call him Mr.Holland from now on...
He hasn’t relented in calling me and sending text messages despite my unfriendly attitude at times.
My younger sister even called me ‘Harsh’ once when I told him matter-of-factly on the phone:
“I can’t marry you cos you don’t have a University education…”
He wasn’t fazed by my statement anyway and replied:
“But I can always get a University education. In fact I have plans to…”
The guy seems determined sha…
Anyway...
My love horoscope reading today says:
“You’re a true delicacy and if others can't see that, they don't deserve you. So stop selling yourself short. Your rare qualities are a fantastic match for someone who adores you. Hooking up just to hook up is truly a waste of your time right now”
It amazes me how right on point these readings can be at times.
Here I was beginning to think maybe I should take it easy with Mr. Holland and give him a chance after all,
Now this reading don put ‘comma’ inside o…
Now people what do you think this means?
That I shouldn’t lower my standards just because I want to get married?
Talking about standards…
Why do we limit ourselves with these standards sef?
:)
Be back shortly…

me 1st?
First!!!!!!yay...now lemme go and read!!!
Shooo Tigeress where did you come from???
see dis yeye Shona girl. 1st my ass!! LOL!!!
I really like what ur horoscope said- it's as if it's actually for me.
Shona this is actually funny! We both posted exactly at the same time. This our twin thing is unbelieavable!! BTW my bruv is gonna give u a call. just spoke to him.
Leave that matter, it is not limiting ourselves...it is knowing what we want...we have spent so much money and time making ourselves what we are why settle for smeone who hasn't bothered or hsn't bothered doing it well.??
Otherwise we might as well marry the mechnic, afterall he is ambitious...
Hmmm Tigress which bruv are you arranging for shona...where is my own? I want the richer,taller,darker bruv!!!
um...i dont know about this Mr. Holland guy. you dont have to "give everyone who comes along a chance". thats why u have standards.
hmm' make we dey look'(n pray)
nne how farz??
@tigeress, lol...yes babes na u carry first...
@Shona, awwww...okay i declare bracket,lol...afterall the both of u posted the same time.
@tigeress, which bruv? Abeg i need my own o...lol...
@afro,lol@marrying the mechanic. Wait o...come to think of it, what ACTUALLy wrong with that :)?
@bumight, yea, i understand dear.But my question is what standards really count?
@LG,lol...i dey o...i like the PRAY part.
hi...yeah, it's called standards...I've turned down dating advances for reasons of "unpolished grammar" so I know where u are coming from...just be careful not to over-do it, so u don't end up chasing Mr Right away...all d best...btw, very nice blog...
ur horoscope is right o.... never settle for less cuz u deserve the best.......
tigeress, y is ur bro not calling me?
Aphro, girl you need to leave all this dating alone sef.
Seriously babe, just take a break. Just breathe. I know it's harder said than done. But right now, I think because of the pressure you put on yourself, you're bound to run into funny situations like Mr. Holland guy.
Stay blessed!
I agree with Ms Sula. I think you should just chill and relax. The right man will come when you aren't looking
wahala- only if Bruv knew he was in high demand. Funms, Afro and Aphro- he's calling Shona cos she's looking to rent out her spare room. Dude needs to move closer to work. But according to Shona he aint bad looking. lol!
Actually i will get him to call Afrobabe- at least that way she'll take her eyes off Dante. lol
i dont believe in horoscopes but they r always eerily accurate!!
nawa for mr holland o..i dont get it, he hasnt taken time to know u but he wants to marry u????
Take it easy with Mr. Holland o! You have to actually get to know someone before you date them and he seems so far away. Maybe you should get to know him...I mean you never know. I think the standards that you should not lower should be the Internal one. Is he kind, is he ambitious, Can u trust him? All that, not he is tall enough etc etc. I think! Oh and consider Ms. Sula's advice!
ive been following ur blog for a while now, really enjoy reading it..pls dont stay away without updating for so long again o..
now to the koko standards are not limitations, they don't have to be unduly high..but must be there for weeding out rubbish...from personal experience lowering standards/values makes the other person/pple appreciate u less..
as for me. ive promised i will never lower my standards for anyone again o... if they have to stretch or grow taller to meet the standard, so be it.. im more than worth it...
sorry about my long post..but d topic hit close to home..in short..pls keep ur standards/values..but dont overdo it by having unrealistic ones...nuff said
@disguised feelings, thanks for the advice and the compliments. Will visit urs soon.
@funms,lol...
@ms.sula, Great advice,thanks babes.
@nice anon, he berra hurry up o...
@tigeress, good explanation babes, was beginning to wonder whn u started the 'arrangee' biz,lol...
@buttercup,lol...dude is trying to 'get to know' me by calling everyday...but i agree with u, naija men and their quick proposals na wa o.
@temite, you made some sense there darl....thanks.
@simplidivine, thanks babes for following my blog and thanks for the advice too.
do u believe in horoscope readings?
abegi dont give in to that yeye horoscope ooh!
Give that man a chance...
@doll, yes...no...lol...i dont even know...
@naijadude, aaan...annnh, wetin be your own self? See as u carry matter for head,lol...
Guess standards are meant to discriminate btw elements of a population.. I expect that you know which of your standards are absolute and which are not.....
Hi Aphrodite...good to maintain ur standards...neva settle 4 less...if he doesn't tick all/@ least most of ur boxes, don't feel pressured to settle...but, be wise about it oh, cos as Sound Sultan says...oko wan lode...not sure how to interprete that though...weldone!
Standards are important o!
You dont want to be the girl wey dem dey call "Anything goes..."
But let those standards be realistic.
Missed u!
so long as your standards are realistic
NEVER EVER LOWER THEM
i have a major problem with people who want trophy wives cos after a while they need to demean you to show you who is the head of the home
i'd say let Mr Holland be..............YOUR OWN shall NOT PASS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@everyone, thanks for your honest opinions.
Mucho Gracias...
