HOW IT STARTED

I wasn't one to go answer such messages from strangers but this one was different, I felt the urge to text back even tho there wasn't much about him on his profile

It was obvious he took his time scrolling through my profile cause he liked almost all the pictures I had posted on my page

I replied the stranger and we got texting, he asked for my number, he said he wanted to hear my voice so I let him

We started talking more often, video calls included. My roommate Olivia was surprised cause she had not seen me like that with anyone, it was really strange to her

Our communication had increased and I could tell he was a nice and gentle young man, he had just finished college in the states. He studied business administration cause his family were large business owners back in Nigeria

I was beginning to get fond of him although I refused to admit that to anyone, not even myself

Bernard funny enough is not tall almost average I think but a light skinned handsome young man who caught my interest after our first conversation was beginning to live rent free in my head. Charming, polite and sweet were part of his attributes

I had a spec too I liked handsome guys too, I can't be so different from you all, I mean everyone would love to have a cute boy or girlfriend and I wasn't exempted

Okay so I'll describe my spec in full, physical features tho. I like tall, I repeat tall well structured guys, I like men who are very manly and all ,yeah handsome too

No I'm not short I think my height is perfect for a girl but I definitely didn't want to have a boyfriend who was the same or almost the same height with me, I just admired tall guys

Bernard was very far from being tall but he was very handsome and we were just getting to know each other as friends so I wasn't bothered about the height thing , meanwhile it was a wish and not a priority. He was US based and I was in Nigeria so I wasn't even thinking about a relationship

He had plans to visit Nigeria for summer and he told me about it, I just smiled and told him it was a good plan although I knew he was excited he was gonna meet me when he returns

Soon he started showing interest in my school and even personal activities, he would worry if I hadn't eaten on time and make efforts to ensure I was comfortable, he would send me money too

Soon he asked me to be his girlfriend, said he was interested in being in a serious relationship with me

I saw that coming but I wasn't against the idea of being his girlfriend because he was different from guys that I've met before

I thought to give him a trial but not so quick, I told him I needed time to get to know him more even when I already knew so much about him

I was convinced to try a relationship with him but I wanted to prolong my yes answer

Some girls believe you shouldn't be quick to respond positively when a guy is asking you out while other believe you should know what you want and not waste time to go for it

For me I don't even know what I believe, I just wanted to give it time.
