As a woman, I know how frustrating any of these could be. But you can’t honestly ask these generation of women to be straightforward. We know nothing like that exists anymore… lol. Don’t misunderstand me, I am not siding with anything just the fact that you mentioned it there, most people (women in this case) would go the extra mile to protect themselves based on what we are seeing with this generation. Doesn’t mean anyone should be looking for favours on the first date. I would be peeved as well. Hell, I’m peeved most of the time with my friends choices of girlfriends. They always have a screw loose.

Let me not lie sha, I’m one of those who’d give a nonexistent number. Lol. Unfortunately, not all men are as respectful as you and most of them don’t understand why I can’t be interested in them to give them my number. They go, “oh. Is it because you have a boyfriend? We can still be friends”. To avoid being rude and also being waylaid for a long period of time, I give them my other line. Which is receptive but dormant.

Problem solved.
