KIZITO SPEAKS V

KIZITO SPEAKS V

Ever gotten to a point where the phrase “You are cute” has no effect whatsoever on you, where if feels like just any other phrase. In my case, it annoys me. I am good looking, I know. But hearing that compliment one too many times makes me sick. Gives me the feeling that the admirer just wants time in ‘my heaven’.

*

“Follow your heart but take your brain with you.” I stumbled on this quote from an Ex one time. And I thought, he couldn’t be more right. I mean, I should have known better.

My previous relationships drained me. I was so in it to please my partners, I thought less of myself. And it didn’t even pay. Heck, now, I come first in everything. “Me” should be number one priority. Family comes first before Bae sef. (If you get where I’m coming from)

*

Badoo is like the only hookup site I’m into. And it’s not so bad. I’ve met good people, ugly people, egocentric people, ignorant people, knuckle heads, bone heads, idiots, and far better/worse people through this app.

One I met not too long after my breakup with Kel. Call him Lamar. Total Baby-face. I clicked the Yes button as soon as his profile popped up on Encounters. He’d already liked mine. We got chatting, exchanged BBM pins. Got acquainted, sent VNs, kisses, hug smileys. It was smooth. Potential Boyfriend. I didn’t tell any of my close pals about this. (Bad move) I just wanted to be sure it was going to work, before spreading the good news.

So, Lamar and I got cozy on social media level. We were finally going to meet face-to-face at his friend’s place. He gave me directions. Me wey never sabi Lagos well followed the route he’d described, only later realizing there was a shorter route straight from my house. I brushed the annoyance and disappointment that came with that knowledge aside. I’d arrived at the spot where we were to meet. Bus-stop tinz. Lamar wasn’t even close.

“Where are you?” I asked when my call went through.

“We are close. Don’t worry, we’ll soon be there. Sorry,” he answered.

I stood there for about three hours under our ever blazing sun. Three hours. Chai! Trust the heavenly body na, I blackened within an hour. Sweating like Mary Lambert jogging from Seattle to New York. I can sweat for Africa though, in spite of my skinniness. I could have gone home. Heck, there was a short route. I should have.

But I exercised patience (one virtue I think I should be dispossessed off). He was gonna reimburse me anyway. So I waited.

After enduring the curious eyes staring at me and the beat of the sun and spices for three hours and thirty minutes, he finally showed up. His friend was already at the apartment. My phone went flat immediately our eyes locked (nawa for devil!). I knew I looked like shit after all that clinging to the virtue I possessed. I tried not to think about that. I was angry. I gave him one of my nasty looks. He crossed over to where I stood; my sweat oozing frustration and anger.

He looked remorseful. Baby face.

“I am so sorry,” he said, and then he put an arm over my shoulders.

I didn’t shove it off. I was still stone-faced. As we walked into the street, his attention was fixed on my face.

“You’re cute,” he said.

“What?” He was lying, I thought. Looking as I looked? He had to be lying. However, I still wanted to believe him.

“You’re very cute,” he said again.

“Stop lying. Stop whyning me,” I snapped.

“No, I’m serious.”

“Okay.”

We got to the apartment. It was small and not entirely tidy. Nicely furnished. His friend stepped out to welcome me. Their combination. The pair. Laptops, cigarettes, tattoos, drinks and stuff everywhere.

And my first thought was: Did I just walk into a Yahoo-yahoo set-up?

    We read kito stories here from time to time and it seems some of us don’t take note of the characteristics of a potential one. If I’m to come from a different neighborhood to yours for the 1st time,courtesy demands that you should be at the agreed meeting point waiting for me. If I arrive there and you are not there to receive me, I will do two things, first, I will believe you take people for granted and secondly I will leave immediately except in exceptional cases. That is a situation where you had called earlier to give a reasonable reason why you where not on hand to meet me on arrival. Kizito, this is a nice one. Let’s wait and see how it goes.

      Yes anyone that would stand somebody up for three hours without reasonable excuse,
      eg, flat tyre, flight delay, would probably have ominuous connection to it.

    ‘Their combination. The pair. Laptops, cigarettes, tattoos, drinks and stuff everywhere.’ This just turned me on….my ideal kind of guy, unfortunately they are always scammers or set up guys. That was how I was chatting with one yahoo yahoo guy few days ago, and I thought he was into me and all, then yesterday he sent me a message and told me that he was in a cafe browsing and did not have money to subscribe for data on phone and that I should send him money so that he would have time to be chatting with me regularly. How can a yahoo yahoo guy not have data….mtchewwww….he then started calling me ‘dear’ and ‘honey’….na wa oooo….is it a bad thing to like rugged guys? Everyone wants to scam me. Is it a crime to be a virgin in this 21St century….

        Its a possible kito situation.
        Never allow it
        When you are meeting someone for the 1st time, do that in the most public place possible.
        Wuse 2 is the Best place eg:
        Tutti Frutti, Amigos, Drumstix, Dreams Bar, AJs Pizza, Chicken Republic etc
        And keep the conversation formal, never delve into sexuality issues first.
        Simply play along whatever topics He brings up *hoping he will be able to hold a meaningful conversation that is*
        At the end, its entirely up to you to decide how much further your interaction should or will go

      Its not a crime but I think you need a little guidance from someone whose walked the Virginity ropes and has finally popped the cherry.
      Who knows, maybe those tips could help you snag someone who shares the same Virgin quality like you.

    Lol @Yahoo set up. Nice one Kizito.
    The “you’re cute” phrase stopped moving me in 2010, when I realized over 90% of people I’ve met only wanted to have a taste of me. They didn’t really care about knowing me or connecting at a deeper level, the kind of connection I like.
    Its saddening. And people will be like- “you’re cute and single”, how come.
    They have no idea.
    When you’re cute, people only believe you’re a good for nothing brainless narcissist who only deserves to be used and dumped. The general rule of cute and dumb.
    Thats why I wasn’t surprised when everyone was surprised when Pinky posted a piece about a math teacher.

    For those of you who have the “roughneck/ thug” fantasy, there are people on manjam/ the gay blogs who pimp these guys out to you. There’s one Sheikh who is into the business as well. You pay him, he fucks you.

    @Sinnex this might be your safest bet. They require payment, but at least you’ll get the fuck you want and they won’t rob or kill you.
