We met on Facebook and talked for days. Finally, we decided to meet. She lived far from me, so I decided to send her something for transportation. She didn’t ask for it. I just wanted to be helpful.

A few minutes before she set off, I sent the money. A few minutes later, she called, “Why didn’t you ask me before sending the money?”

I asked if there was a problem, and she said, “At least you should ask me first. Now see, MTN has taken the money.”

Unbeknownst to me, she was owing Kwikloan, and the money I sent had been deducted. She was so affected that she kept talking and even got angry. I said, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t know. I was only trying to surprise you.” She answered, “Even if it’s a surprise, still ask.”

Eventually, she didn’t come for the date, and she didn’t tell me she wasn’t coming until I got there and called her. She said, “How can I come looking at the mood you’ve put me in?”

I was even planning to replace the money if she had come, but she didn’t, and I was also disappointed that something this little should cause her not to show up for a date. The next day, she didn’t call. I was expecting a call and an apology for not coming. None happened.

Because I have pride, I decided not to call her until a day later she called to tell me I made her so angry she couldn’t control herself. I couldn’t understand why I was the one she was blaming. She said we should plan another date, and this time I should send the money to her Telecel.

I shook my head and blocked her.

Is it petty of me to do that? It’s not so much about the money, but how she can’t take responsibility. It’s annoying and stinking.
