At 28, I Have No Girl In My Life

Dear Agatha,

May the Almighty God continue to bless you for the good work you are doing. I am 28 year old and don’t even have a girlfriend. I have tried, but all in vain.

Dear Uchenna,

It takes courage and confidence to approach a woman. Just learn to be sure of what you want in your woman and look for a woman who has some of the features.

To get it right, look beyond the physical appearances to the inner qualities in a woman. Many a time, people concentrate more on what the person looks like than who the person really is. There are some people with beautiful features on the outside, but have ugly interiors. When it comes to conducting a successful relationship, it is whom we are on the inside that makes the whole lot of difference.

Another mistake you must never make is to tell a woman you are meeting for the first time that you love her. It is a great put off. Begin by offering to be her friend, nothing complicated or demanding. Give time the chance to berth it right.

A woman is more relaxed and accommodating when a man offers her friendship first. This way, she is able to be herself, enjoy the companionship as well as express herself without reservation. This way, a man gets the rare opportunity of observing her at close quarters and making up his mind.

There are a lot of issues to be discussed other than romance when a man and woman get together to be friends.

Also learn to be your natural self. It is important.

Good luck.
