1. I was in Harare for the 2018 Joshua Nkomo Lecture at UZ. Was staying at Rainbow Towers. The picture below is of me on that day...gorgeous!

2. While waiting for an elevator, this guy joined me. He was also going downstairs (I guessed). He also wore all black, semi-formal. Legit looked unZimbabwean (donât ask me how I knew

3. âHello. You look great in black. And I love your shoes.â I give my killer smile because hey, handsome dude just told me what I told myself in the mirror

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen">So we chat. He tells me heâd love say hie later, but isnât too sure what time his conference will end. I tell him that my
4. flight out of Harare is at 16:30 so Iâm not likely to see him. I say my goodbye and go on with my day. And no, we didnât exchange numbers

6. Oh and I forgot to mention. This is guy is Tswana. But yeah I get home in Byo and I text. Keeping it low key (he canât know we like him like that
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">). As we grow to know each other, he becomes more clearer about how much he likes me, but my stupid ass starts thinking that...
7. From what Iâm seeing, what I interact with as he unfolds his world to me, maybe Iâd not measure up to his familyâs expectations. Nigga is professionally established. An Adrenalin junkie, a driven guy. My type of guy. But I donât know why I felt so strongly that his folks...
8. probably had a Tswana girl theyâd prefer him to be with. In my mind I was thinking ânah girl, this man is another womanâs blessing...focus on building yourself up so you donât ever have to feel like you donât measure up.â So I say No to his relationship proposal
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">I legit did

9. I didnât obviously tell him itâs because I felt like I didnât deserve him. So we stopped talk eventually because I felt it was weird for me. I deleted his number on my phone but saved it on email
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund">Yes you can judge me here. Anyway fast forward to over a year later, I decide to
10. apologize, because I felt like it was unfair to not have given a solid reason for my No. I app him and Explain myself. Trust the guy to still be the sweet human being I met outside the elevator. He says to me, âWoman! Iâm the one that doesnât deserve you. You were everything
11. I wanted and I just didnât understand why you didnât give me a chance.â And I was there thinking nigga Whaaaaaatttt!!!
