Nairobi is crawling with mediocre men who feel they are entitled to regular sex, but only put the bare minimum effort into the relationship. It breaks my heart when I see beautiful women putting up with and having regular sex with men who rarely take them out on real dates.
Let us get one thing clear here ladies; “Hanging out” is not a date. Canoodling on the couch while catching up with the latest series is not a date. Grabbing takeout food and a bottle of liquor to go chill in his house is not a date. Going over to his apartment and rustling up a meal for the two of you is not a date! Period! It makes me mad as hell when ladies regard “hanging out” as feasible dates. The typical single person weekend pastimes are what some women are accepting as date night with their romantic partners.
If your significant other can’t be bothered to take you out in public and put together an activity that requires actual thought and effort like making a dinner reservation, you are much better off curling up on your own couch and watching a rerun of ‘Game of thrones’ alone. If he can’t date you properly, do not bother dating him at all. If you don’t need a boyfriend to do the things that you are already doing like catching a movie on the couch, you need to re-evaluate your relationship. Men nowadays only want to hang out when they want some action and women are enabling it. Women have set their standards too low to be honest. They have accepted “chilling at his place or his local” as a substitute for a real date. They have it in their heads that as long as it is time spent together, it is a date.
A guy can invite a woman to accompany him to the supermarket and she will see it as a date! Women are afraid that the men will walk out on them if they demand too much. How sad! It is the same women who will be giddy with excitement when a man calls last minute and asks to see them, or calls late at night asking them to come over. No, it is not romantic that he thought of you at three in the morning after leaving the club with his boys. I mean, why would you entertain such nonsense, where a man claims to be dating you but he treats you like a booty call (only invited over for sex, especially during odd hours)? Sure, there are men who are inexperienced in the dating scene and therefore don’t understand what it means to date a woman but the majority of the men out there are lazy jerks who want a sex-centred relationship and put in the minimum effort to keep you around.
Ladies, you should not even be asking to be taken out on real and proper dates. It is common sense! If he is not doing it, do not even bother asking. Walk away. You deserve to be treated to a romantic dinner or a weekend getaway, if possible insist to be taken out of town. It is up to you to stop giving lazy men your time of day. Go out with a man who dates you the real way and makes you feel excited every day. Stop wasting your time on immature jerks that are only out to satisfy their own agenda by doing the least amount of work possible.
