I should be so lucky

There’s this guy I’ve been seeing for about a month now, he seemed to be a really nice guy, he’s really cute and looks like he couldn’t hurt a fly. The other day, he told me to drop him off at a meeting he had and take his car, he said he‘d call me when he was ready and I was like cool. While I was driving after dropping him of, I saw a friend of mine strolling, so I picked her up and offered to take her home, we then had this conversation.

Friend: whose car is this, it looks somewhat familiar

Me: it’s a friends car, I think he stays near your house

Friend: oh yea, its J’s car right, I hope he aint trying to toast you or anything

At this time my brain was already getting hot, but I needed to know where she was going to

Me: nah, we just friends, why do you ask

Friend: well, he has this girl B, he’s been dating her for like 4/5 years, but she left the country to go get her masters degree, she’ll probably be back in September or so.

I assured her he wasn’t putting the moves on me and we talked about other things

Now I’m fuming inside, am I supposed to be his sub since his girl aint around, after I dropped her off, I had to go home and collect my thoughts, what should I say to him? How should I confront him? Various questions were swirling around in my head, I had to lie down cus I was getting a bit dizzy.
He finally called me to come get him, I didn’t know what to say to him all the time we were in the car together, he sensed there was something wrong and he kept on asking if I was okay, I told him everything was fine. I finally confronted him a few days later. This is how it went.

Me: come over, we need to talk

J: is everything okay

Me: everything’s dandy, just get over here ASAP, bye

He pulls up in front of my house and calls me, I tell him we aint about to have an indoor conversation, so I’m coming out (he’s getting freaked).

Me: do you have a girlfriend ( I just dive right in)

J: it’s complicated

Me: just the answer I’m looking for, it’s either yes or no, those are your only two options

J: it’s not that simple baby

At this time, he goes into a 1 hour monologue about some shit I cant remember and after much pressure from me, he finally says yes but they are having problems, blah blah, I was like it’s either you’re in a relationship or not whether you’re having problems or not, if you wanted out, you would have been out. He finally left after telling me I’m the only one that means anything to him and some other crap like that.

After some careful FBI work, I found out not only are they not having problems, but the chic is sporting an engagement ring given to her by my so called man, I was bewildered. I found out it was a done deal, he’s the one paying for her masters, and he spends time with her family on a regular basis.

This is definitely a hopeless situation, the problem is that I already have feelings for this guy and it’s hard to move on. I met O and I thought he would bring me out of my misery but that is another story on its own, was supposed to write O’s story today but I veered off, I’ll do that in my next update hopefully.

You're a sensible girl. Whether the situation is complicated or not, it's a yes or no answer. Stupid man.

You should go on a spending spree before you dump his ass. Or and don't have goodbye sex. It never ends there, trust me.

I feel u babes..Im in the same situation..i met some guy last christmas and we started seeing ourselves..It seems like he has this 'girl' that hes liking and the girl likes him too.Now where does that leave me?!he knows i like him and i know he likes me too but this 'his girl' is probably the person he wants 2 spend the rest of his life with i guess.So ive just decided not 2 be his friend anymore bcos i know if im his friend we would continue 2 have sex..Apparently,they arent having sex cos the girl is supposed 2 be a 'serious born again' and she probably doesnt believe in sex b4 marriage..So it seems like he's using me 2 RECHARGE HIS BATTERIES..im so pissed off!!The thing is,he acts like he's so into her,praises her alot to pple(not me anyways cos ill just slap him) ,sayin how fine she is and all that,and yet hes still saying they are not going out..then tomorrow he'll be asking me when me and him are going 2 see obviously becos of sex..I believe any guy that would do that is just useless..
Honestly its not even the sex cos the sex is just there..ive had better but its just that i like him..I know if i dont speak 2 him in a few days ill move on cos thats just how im programmed to be-2 move on easily..but it aint easy not 2 speak 2 him..

Anyways girl Sorry ive made this abt me but i guess wot im trying 2 say is that if this guy has a Girl and is serious with her u should probably just move on cos no one likes being 'the other girl'..it sucks being 'the other girl'..ive been there and its sucky!!LOL..Take am easy o..nice post tho..

You need to start looking and dealing with Dudes that hold their integrity high...
I think many naija females love being lied to...especially when it comes to relationships... they would rather be in a relationship and be lied to, than just kick it with a guy and be told the truth... that shit cracks me up everytime...

@demola..Guys still lie even when ure just 'kicking it' with them..either way they still LIE..

@vindicaton through innocence, the only reason i could go with the direct approach is cus we were already pretty close.apparently,her dad is late and her mum couldn't really afford her masters,therefore prince charming came to the rescue.
@ugo daniels, every human being wants to do the right thing, but its really hard sometimes,thanks tho.
@mona, its funny, maybe they have this book they all read,lol
@demola, i hate being lied to, i rather hear the truth upfront honestly, i'm seriously thinking bout giving up on guys, its like they are all either married,engaged or in a relationship.
@anon, thanks jare
