He sent his friend to come and tell me he likes me. I’d met him only once and didn’t talk to him when we met. I asked his friend who sent him, and he said, “Christopher.” “Who’s Christopher?” I asked.
Immediately I saw him, I knew it wouldn’t work. His height. I’m not tall, but I’m taller than him. I like my men taller than me. I was courteous and entertaining, and he was too. He didn’t propose after talking to each other for days, so in my mind, we were just friends. Until he tried to kiss me.

I avoided it. He poured his heart out that day. I said no. I gave no reasons, but I kept telling him no. He said he wasn’t going to give up on me, and I said, “Yooo.” Honestly, I was giving myself time to see if I could love him. He came with gifts and took me out very often. He became friends with my friends and asked them to lobby for him.
Aside from his height, he doesn’t know how to pronounce his own name. He calls himself “Chlistopher.” He calls me Dolis. Even after correcting him on several occasions, he still calls me Dolis and corrects himself when I give him a bombastic side-eye.
All was manageable until I introduced my sister to him. “Emelia, meet Christopher. Christopher, this is Emelia, my elder sister.” He stretched out his hand and said, “Nice meeting you, Emeria.”
My sister quickly swallowed her laughter and shook hands with him. My ears have never known rest since that introduction. My sister went home to broadcast the news to everyone, including my parents, that my boyfriend called her Emeria. My mom retorted, “Bring him home. I’ll love to hear my name in his mouth before I approve the relationship.”
I Was The Man In The Relationship And He Didn’t Like It
My mom is called Lovelace. Naaa, this won’t work, but as he said, he won’t give up on me, and he means it. I want to know, how can I let him down gently without breaking his heart? He deserves better than heartbreak, but I can’t help it. It’s better to let him go than keep him around and feed him hope and cauliflower.

Him not knowing to pronunce his name doesn’t mean nothing. You can even make a joke out of it. Take him as he is. Someone can pronounce your name right and treat you like shit. If you love him and he loves you too that’s is what matters.
Don’t have much to say bcos you have the final say, but remember a first class graduate can break your heart more than what Christopher is doing. Think well !!!
Which type thing be that one he can’t spell his name and wanted to marry you may be the time his in school he dodges school and now it has been late thats your own choice but god will shower his blessing on you and him(amen)
Blueberry even you write nonsense here and expect some of us to read and understand it. You are the last person I expected to comment on this very post. And to the writer don’t hesitate to end whatever you have going with the guy even if it will hurt him. He deserves someone who won’t be ashamed of his (r&L). Just as you deserve someone you can be proud of irrespective of how good or bad they might be. I hope you meet a scholar who will mash your heart for you to know that genuine love has got nothing to do with height or education.
