I'll tell you a funny, yet annoying problem I've had that I think every girl can relate to. I was 17 years old, fairly new to Nairobi. At the clubs in Nairobi, there is a lot of the same people and the same scenes. It is kind off a place where at least party people know each other, and if they don't, they will some day. So I was at a house party one night with some friends and we didn't know anyone there other than the host. We met new people and all that. I started talking to a guy, lets just call him Steven, and I thought he was really nice. We got along well so I asked him if he wanted to join myself and a bunch of other people to this club called The Loft the next day. He gladly accepted. When I got home that night, and instantly went to check my Facebook, Steven had already added me as a friend so I accepted thinking that I'd made a new friend. The night after that, I went to The Loft with a lot of people from my school and Steven showed up. After just a couple of minutes I realized that Steven was being too friendly and uncomfortably close to me, but I didn't want to be rude either. As the night continues, Steven leans in and kisses me, but I pull away but smile at him so he doesn't feel bad. Little did I know that my friend Riz was running around with a camera until he later took a picture of me sticking my tongue out.
The next day, I am in my friend Anna's room studying when I get a Facebook message from Steven where he writes "I've now broken up with my girlfriend for you". I was like WHAT?! Anna started laughing really hard but I was really annoyed. I'd met this guy two days before and I was just being nice. When I didn't answer his message he continued writing to me saying "Don't you want to be together?" so then I wrote to him explaining that he's making me uncomfortable and breaking him up with someone wasn't my intention when I said "So a bunch of people from my school are going to The Loft, you should come and invite your friends". Later on I was in the library studying when Anna calls me and says "Check Stevens profile picture" so I go in on his profile, and there I am. The picture Riz had taken of me when I stick my tongue out was his profile picture. I got so creeped out so I wrote to him at once saying that he needs to take the picture down because that's not cool. My words for some reason didn't get in his head so Anna later wrote to him and that seemed to work because he changed his profile picture again. Thank God for Anna! Haha
Can anyone relate! Some people, I just don't know what they are thinking. If I am friendly to someone, I don't mean that I want them, and I thought a normal person would understand that but I think I speak for every woman my age when I say, it doesn't always seem like it. I hate clingy guys!
