My biggest dating tip is date multiple men at once, have fun, enjoy your life, live a little. When you feel like you’re ready for a relationship, pick your favorite- the kindest, most genuine and generous(enjoyment) and boyfriend him❤️.
I think there’s another stage of being single called floating, in this stage you’re not talking to anyone, nobody is talking to you. You no dey eye anyone, nobody dey look you. You’re just on vibes and insha Allah😂
Even dating the successful men is stressful. You’ll be relaxing next thing you’ll hear babe ‘what do you assume the financial projections for the downward crash in Brexit operations will be?’

Everytime I’m going over to see a boy, my mother warns me not to cook or clean in his house. ‘If he’s a serious person, he will make sure you’re coming into a clean house and there’s something for you to eat.’
I dated a guy who used to hit me a lot, after we ended, I tried my best to move on. I saw him 2 years after and my hands were shaking, I was actually scared. That’s what trauma does. I knew I was safe and he no longer had access to me but I spent my week crying in bathrooms.
I really care about money. I used to be embarrassed when people called me materialistic because of its negative connotation but I am materialistic, I love the finer things in life, I'll always want more. And that's okay.
Moved to England 2+ years back. After so many house shares, airbnbs, sparerooms and sofa tours I’ve finally moved into my own beautiful place. God’s hand in this is so clear because he’s really held me down 🥹🙏🏾❤️
On Arise TV they asked you
@jidesanwoolu
what you’ve done for women you said you make sure you don’t take any pictures without women being inside. Didn’t you feel shy when you said it? You didn’t feel a tad bit embarrassed? 🙄
I was thinking about this, people paint singleness to be this bleak, lonely, dreary life. I’ve been single for about 4 years and I have completeness, joy, fullness. I don’t sit around waiting for ‘love’ to rescue me.
I love being spoilt and I love to spoil my partner. I genuinely get a kick from taking care of who I'm in love with. I like to give gifts, massages, surprises, cuddles, support, opportunities, etc. But it should be reciprocated.
I wonder why people make anxiety out to be this cute, nicely packaged MH condition, it’s not. It’s consuming, it’s debilitating, it just takes and takes.
If I ever get dragged on social media, I’ll actually use my burner to join in, I have some things to get off my chest about myself. Let everywhere scatter😂
After you go through heartbreak, it’s important to take time off to process you emotions, work on your own flaws and find happiness by yourself. It’s important not to keep passing pain around or projecting your insecurities and baggage on someone else.
The traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. “He’s like an exotic bird collector,” she said. “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.” -Trevor Noah
This time last year I had just moved to Brighton to start a new role and got a place with my housemate. Yesterday I signed a contract for my own place in a gorgeous location in Birmingham. Jesus you love me too much ooo🥺❤️
I’m so tempted to set up a masterclass to support immigrants into the UK map out a strategy for a professional career, gain experience and develop their skillset. It really irks me that what a lot of people advertise are care jobs as the only route for people.
At 23 I already launched Facebook, partnered with Elon on 15 projects, supported Obama in creating policies, fought in the military in Iraq, stayed sharp and held down my 9-5 job. Best in 23.
