Is It Okay For Her To Make The First Move?

The society we are in is not one that is in total support of a female making the first move towards a male she admires or wants a relationship with. Some of us (females) have been made to believe that it's the duty of a guy to take the first step towards building a relationship with us. Some females believe telling a guy how they feel about him is below standard, like stooping low. A female should keep her head up and withhold whatever emotions she has for the opposite sex no matter what. If he realises he feels the same way, fine, if otherwise, fine still. Somehow, a lot of us have broken that rule. It used to sound strange to me many years ago when females say they've made the first move at least once. I later realised that there's no wrong in it (in my own opinion though), it depends on how you go about it. You don't have to want to 'date' the person, just say how you feel and watch.

Surprisingly, some guys appreciate it when you tell them how you feel about them. About two guys have said that their best relationships were with females who approached them first and I was like aaawwww but again, it depends on how they went about it. Some guys are not worth telling, really really not worth it. I’m certain that the reason some girls do not tell guys how they feel about them is because of the response they got or because he obviously has a lot of females on his ‘neck’ and she doesn’t want to join the league. When considering telling a guy how you feel, a lot of things should be examined .e.g.

What do you like about him?

On a scale of 1-10, how much does he like you (like at least)?

What kind of result are you expecting after declaring your emotions?

And oh, does he even know you? Because I have a huge crush on Sam Smith (though he’s gay) but does he know me? Mba? So why waste my time and resources to reach him (I might not be able to sef) when it won’t make any difference #justsaying

The fact that we like someone doesn’t mean the person should like us back. That’s one of the mistakes we make. The person you’re liking isn’t obliged to like you just the way you don’t like some people no matter how much they like you. However, the person you like might like you but not in the same way you like him which is perfectly okay.


How do you tell him you like him? I don't have a script for that. If you like someone, how you go about telling them should be your own idea, your own words. Your words should be chosen carefully so the guy won't feel uncomfortable or scared of the 'love' he might get from you and begin to avoid you gradually. Just say it (if you must) and continue living your life however you've been living it. Don't let any negative reaction make you regret making the first move because you can only decide your actions not that of others.

In other words, say no to society and 'toast' that boy today, lol. It'll be great to know that he probably even feels the same way. Also remember that the worst response you can get is no or he might just avoid you, both of which doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
