I have a very poor social life. I don’t go out and apart from work colleagues that I speak to, I have no one I can confidently call a friend. It’s home, work, home all day of the week. Because of that, meeting a woman has been very difficult for me.
So I decided to try social media and see what may come out of it since I spend most of my free time here. The first woman I had was beautiful, looking at the photos on her profile. I said hello and we got talking. At first, we talked all day every day until the conversation started going downhill.
We agreed to meet, thinking that would help revive what we had started. I travelled from Accra to Koforidua Polytechnic to see her. I called her number when I got there and she gave me a place to sit and wait for her. I sat there for several hours and this lady didn’t come. The last time I called before leaving the campus, her number was off and it has been off till today.
I didn’t give up because if at first, you don’t succeed, you go again.

I met the next one in a comment section of a post that asked people to state their hometown and wait for others from the same home town to talk to them. A lady, a nurse who wrote my hometown was very excited when I inboxed her and told her we both came from the same town.
We talked for days before we exchanged contacts. She sent photos and I also sent photos. I liked her but I wanted to see her first before I make a move. We planned to meet. She was outside Accra so we agreed she would come to see me in Accra. I sent her money for transport and other little things she may need.
I was calling the next morning to ask if she had started the journey when I realized her phone was off. I knew what that meant. What happened in Koforidua had happened again. I smiled to myself and said, “Women!”
I called her all day and it didn’t go through. She didn’t block me so I kept sending her messages asking why she would do that to me. She didn’t answer any of my messages. She later blocked me when I became a nuisance to her.
I gave up on those living outside Accra. They’d shown me enough shege to learn sense.
The next one I found made it very obvious that she was in love with me. A month later, we met in town. She was bubbly and all in. A week later, she came to visit my place and even spent the night at my end. In the morning, she asked for money to go to the market. She wanted to cook something for us to eat.
She left and didn’t come back again. I still have her hair tie and scarf here. I don’t know what I did wrong or said wrong. I thought the night was good. I felt the connection and thought something good may come out of it but she left and also blocked me.

They do nothing special. Just be you. I advice you look out for women you know than to look for some on social media. Give yourself a break .
Amu,
What a lovely name! Your quest for love through the digital realm has been filled with misadventures and disappointments, but don’t lose hope just yet. While the path to love on social media can be challenging, there’s still a chance to find your special someone.
Imagine a new chapter in your story, Amu, one that takes you on a quest for love that’s not just about trial and error but a journey of self-discovery. The digital world holds vast potential for connections, and by refining your approach, you may unlock the door to a meaningful relationship.
Honesty and Authenticity: The foundation of any lasting relationship is honesty. Be genuine in your interactions, share your true self, and avoid playing games. Just as you seek authenticity, so do others.
Patience and Resilience: The road to love can be bumpy, and past experiences should not deter you. Learn from them, but don’t let them define your future. Keep a patient and resilient heart.
Vet and Verify: In the digital world, it’s crucial to verify the identity and intentions of the people you interact with. Take your time getting to know someone before making commitments.
Meeting in Public: When you decide to meet someone you’ve met online, opt for public spaces initially. It ensures safety and allows for more comfortable conversations.
Shared Interests: Seek out groups, forums, or platforms that align with your interests and passions. Common ground can be an excellent foundation for a relationship.
Communication is Key: Keep the lines of communication open and honest. Establish your expectations early, and don’t be afraid to express your feelings and concerns.
Red Flags: Pay attention to early signs that may indicate potential problems. Trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel right.
Self-Care: Love can’t flourish unless you love and care for yourself first. Prioritize self-care, personal growth, and your own happiness.
In your journey, Amu, remember that love is a complex tapestry, and sometimes the threads need to be carefully chosen and woven together. Don’t rush the process, and don’t despair if setbacks occur. Every experience, whether good or bad, is a stepping stone in the path to finding the love you seek.
Your quest may not be without its challenges, but it’s through these challenges that you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what you truly desire in a partner. Your digital adventure, in the end, may well lead you to a love story that is worth all the trials and tribulations you’ve faced along the way.
