I believed himā¦
Tee
Tee was nineteen when she met him on Facebook. He was light-skinned, which was one of her major specs in a guy, and the moment they started talking, they hit it off immediately.
Their connection was instant. The vibe between them wasnāt forced. It was as though they had known each other their entire lives, or had simply been waiting for each other all along.
They spoke all the time. They talked about everything and nothing. As expected, the conversation became more intimate as they moved to WhatsApp. Eventually, he asked her to come over so that they would see each other physicallyā¦it was long overdue.
After telling Tee where he lived, she told him that she didnāt have money for transportation, and he asked her to borrow money from anyone with the promise that he would reimburse her when they meet. Without hesitation, she accepted.
On the day they were scheduled to meet, she was super excited and anxious to meet this person physically. She only borrowed money that would be enough to take her to his place because he already assured her that he would give her money.
They met up in a restaurant; for a first time meeting, it is usually advisable to meet in a public place.
Tee was very pleased that she wasnāt catfished; he was exactly the same as his pictures, and their connection was even better physically. Safe to say that it was their first date and they both had a good time talking and meeting each other.
After being at the restaurant for a while, he asked Tee to go with him to his house, saying that he needed to pick up his wallet, which he had forgotten when coming to the restaurant. He went on to say that his house wasnāt far from the restaurant. Having built what seemed like friendship and trust with Tee, she agreed to go with him to his house.
It was just to pick up his wallet, right?
They got to his house and he began to make sexual moves at Tee, much to her surprise and disappointment because this wasnāt the plan. They never agreed on anything sexual, which was exactly why they met up at a restaurant. He said he was only going to pick up his wallet.
Tee turned him down and said that she needed to get homeā¦it was getting late after all.
āFine, let me walk you to where you will get a cab,ā he told her, easily letting go.
As he walked her, Tee noticed that everything about him had changed. The laughter was gone. The sweetness had disappeared. His facial expression was not what she had seen a few minutes ago. He became cold. He didnāt even walk at the same pace with her any longer.
Suddenly, he stopped a cab.
He opened the door and she entered the cab, and he shut the door and said ābye-bye,ā then turned around and left.
Tee was confused. Had he suddenly forgotten about their financial agreement? Mind you, she didnāt have a dime because she only borrowed money enough to take her to him. Tee watched him turn his back and began to walk away. She was too shocked to call him back to ask for the money he promised he was going to give her, and too confused to get down from the cab immediately, knowing full well that she wasnāt having a dime.
On the way, Teeās mind was racing. What would she do? How would she handle this situation that she had gotten herself into? By the time they got to their destination and the driver stopped and started collecting the fare from his passengers, Tee said she didnāt have money.
The driver, of course, became infuriated.
The man rained insults on her, dragged her, and humiliated the living daylight out of her. In the midst of the embarrassment, Tee just kept thinking about how this guy had done her dirty. Eventually, a woman came to Teeās rescue and delivered her from the hands of the angry cab driver by paying for her, but it didnāt end there.
She would have to take another cab to reach her destination because it wasnāt just one stop, and that was when the begging began.
Tee would stop different cabs, but as soon as she confessed that she didnāt have money, they would zoom off. She needed just #300 (three hundred naira) to get home. Tee turned to almost everyone that she saw on the road, swallowing shame and dignity, begging and asking for that amount to get home. After begging nearly everybody, a Good Samaritan showed mercy and gave her the money.
A trip that wasnāt supposed to last longer than one hour took Tee hours because she spent a great deal of time begging on the road.
Tee arrived home later than she should.
By the time she turned on her data, he had already sent her some messages on WhatsApp, sounding all sweet and nice.
āThanks for comingā¦ā
Tee was enraged. She angrily asked him if he forgot that he was supposed to give her money to return home, including the one she borrowed, and he became really remorseful.
āOh, my gosh! I forgot! I am so sorry. How did you manage to get home?ā
He became sweet and apologetic, but Tee couldnāt look past she humiliation she went through. Without hesitation, she blocked him and never spoke to him again. After that awful experience, Tee swore never to leave her house without having money of her own whether or not the person she is going to see has made heaven and earth promises to reimburse her.
Did he truly forget or was his action deliberate?
Should Tee have come down from the first cab and insist on him fulfilling his promise to her?

As important as it is to always have āvex moneyā, she should have gotten out of the cab, collected the initially promised money, and then blocked him on her way home.
Exactly!!!
Lesson to learn here is never you borrow money to go see someone even if the person promised to refund, not talking about going out on a date alone.
Secondly, it is wrong to ask a guy for money when invited to a date, to me, it is a red flag. If you don’t have, stay at home or let him come over to a place close to your house, somewhere you can walk to.
This is another angle.
She learnt the hard way, you should always have “vex” money with you.
Very importantšÆ
Whether it was intentional or not that he didn’t give her the promised money.
How was she comfortable to go out of her house to meet someone for the first time without having enough cash, borrowing wasn’t even an option but if she must borrow she should would have borrowed enough.
Sometimes you donāt know better until you have had an experience.
Oops, she learnt the hard wayyyā¦. Hope she had enough to eat and drink at the restaurant to sustain her through her journey of endless pleasā¦
Iām sure she didš
First time on the ‘street’. You’re welcome sisš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£I’m so glad Tee learnt her lessons.
Thank God Tee didn’t ask for the money immediately he pretended like he forgot, I’m sure he would have embarrassed her.
Why guys dey vex when girl no gree give Dem opueh???š¤š¤
Not asking led her to a worse experienceš¤·āāļø
Girls with nothing will be having SPEC, your cat is the only consolation then.
“No Knacks no money o”
Make God dey merge girls wey no get Tfare with these type of guys.
THIEF!
Ahhhh! She was just 19 and he asked her to come over naš¤·āāļø
This was not a betrayed trust issue to me. It’s a standards problem. The guy had his intentions from the start, that much is clear.
No one should make you do something that doesn’t feel right to do, whether you trust the person or not. Borrowing money to go see someone is a no-no. If there’s no tfare why not postpone the date? Such compromises usually always end in regret, even in cases where both parties are sincere. I’m sure she already learned.
Exactly, postpone, but why didnāt he state his āintentionsā rather than allow her come all the way?
How do people leave their house without money,hmmmm
I donāt even blame the guy
She is lucky the guy let her leave
My question now is, Is tee not loved at home or doesnāt she have a friend
Being loved at home doesnāt mean you wonāt meet other people.
Is Not about meeting people
Is why she couldnāt call for help for tfare back
First things first.
Did he truly forget or was it deliberate?
From the facts alone, both are possible.
Itās possible he genuinely forgot, especially since he later apologized and asked how she got home.
But itās also reasonable to suspect negligence. Forgetting money that determines whether someone gets home safely shows lack of responsibility, whether intentional or not.
So the real issue is not forgetting, but failing to follow up after making a clear promise, and putting someone out there in danger and harms way.
That been said, I must add that;
Dependence without immediate verification is risky
Promises without safeguards can fail
Personal money is personal security so please TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE WITH YOUR OWN MONEY.
E GET WHY.
A lady should always have her own money
Most Broke ladies do leave their house without money fully depending on the guyy
