Love Impromptu

 A fine Saturday morning. Its just a few minutes to seven. Janet is from work. She'd been on the night shift and decides to surprise the boyfriend. They'd been arguing on the previous day. He says that Janet is not making time for him - She is all about her work nowadays. She knows that this isn't true and she's willing to go the extra mile to make it work. "He's just missing me" that's the thought running through her mind as the bus nears her destination. Janet is super excited. Nick will be so happy to see her and they'll be spending some really quality time together. Monday is a public holiday so an extended stay over there would do them good.

I love you but the truth is - it will never work for me."  I was confused at all these and asked him, "If I hadn't asked you about it, when were u planning to tell me?"  He looked up and ...

  Ever been caught up wondering where to start in the dangerous dating  game? How wrong can you ever be? How wrong can it ever go?  It's never 100% perfect. The right pick - venue for a date or the company. This is the risk we take venturing in this abyss. Lucky for you, some of us have been there and as said experience the best teacher 😅😅 One fine evening, I'm entering a certain club in town. Well groomed wearing dark khaki pants, white top and a grey blazer. The bouncer freezes me and asks for my ID. Looks can be deceiving guess I'm even older than the guy 😒 I walk in, take a good look around looking for the best unoccupied spot. I identify one and walk over majestically. Once settled, the waitress approaches and I make my order. Few minutes have gone now and my full attention is on a Chelsea vs Everton match being played on the screens. I'm distracted by a melodic voice of a lady leaning over me. "Hi. I'm Lydia. Care if I join your table?"  I adjus...
