A
lady shared her story about how she met a man who she thought was her
'potential husband' on Facebook, and how she 'got engaged to him' and
even started planning their wedding, even though they HAD NEVER MET.
"Good
evening Amanda, please conceal my identity. Just want to give a warning
to ladies out there to be careful of the so called love found on
Facebook. I thought mine will be like the lovely testimonies of people
getting engaged/married on social media. But no.. it's not.
Normally
I don't add you as friend if we don't have a mutual friend. But this
time around after checking his profile pic I saw he was a good looking
young man and also comfortable. So I added him. Two weeks after the
addition he broke the silence between us and we started chatting. As
days passed he made known his intentions towards me and that he would
like to come down to lagos (cos he lives in abuja) to see me and my
parents to finalise the marriage thing.
For my mind i be like..'shey
na my own miracle be this, make i see how things will unfold.' I agreed
and plans were made for his arrival. All these was going on while he was
in communication with my parents and i also with his mum. Forgot to
mention that his mum was always telling me to tell her son to come and
quickly do the necessary things fast. But i also reassured her that all
will be well, that he is taking his time.
