SHOCKING: How a Lagos babe charmed my friend
Pulse Picks
March 21, 2024
Hey there,
You won’t believe what happened to me. I was at a restaurant’s counter with a male friend, having a conversation and laughing, when suddenly, I noticed a tall, beautiful, light-skinned woman staring at us. She completely ignored me and asked my friend to pay for her food. I was shocked. Like WHAT? What if he was my boyfriend?
Anyway, my friend said, "Oh, I don't have enough money right now; next time."
To which she replied, "You might not see me next time; why don't you have my number?"
To be honest, I felt that was so smooth because I could never just ask a guy I just met to pay my bill and even volunteer my number like that. Guess what? My friend reached out to her later, and they started talking.
You might not agree with her request or approach, but she was beautiful, confident, and assertive. In this day and age, I need to be like that to get what I want. At this weekend's events, I won’t just hang around; I’ll walk up to someone and strike up a conversation. Who knows if I’ll have rizz like her?
