Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to b befits. Tell stories, let me get comfortable
and enjoyed the journey. This will not be Resi's first
experience with the dating on ninety think I'm a jake,
But this time around, believe it or not, it is
under her mother's pressure. What talk about a one eighty
(00:33):
change of heart. Listen for those of you who do
not know Why's mother. This is an African Christian protecting
mother who fucked and prayed heart all of her life
to see her children succeed in their academic and professional pursuits.
Boys were not to be given the time of the day,
(00:55):
as they were a distraction.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Allegedly, well, she must have prayed really hard because her daughter's,
especially young Reasy, was not only a very curious one,
but her two friendliness ways had gotten her in many
nonsensical entanglements. AnyWho now that she's grown in her twenties
(01:19):
and that she seems to have gotten the memo rightfully
so and now focus more in her work. Her mother
now realizes that she may have forgotten at some point
in the process to reactivate the guys matter in your
future button with the same passion she used to embed
it in their mind. Guys are a distraction. She had
(01:43):
forgotten to let the men in the entire planet steps.
Now she was trying to get easy, to be more
adventurous and try like many people, and some of her
friends the dating websites. Who knows, maybe she could have
met her forever there too.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Ay ay ay, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
They disciplined us for a little while, as they thought best.
But God disciplines us for our good in order that
we share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at
a time, but painful later on. However, it produces a
(02:32):
harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been
trained by it. Hebrews Chapter twelve, verses ten to eleven. Uisi,
you are grown. Now have you thought of trying dating websites?
(02:54):
I've heard and watched many young women who found their
match on there, said Rizzie's man. Listen, Momsie, I'm not
an online dating girl. I like the old school way,
you know what I'm saying. I'm somewhere out a guy
sees me, fancies me and approaches me. You know what
I mean. I like to be a gazelle and the
(03:16):
man the lion in this dating thing, replied Razie, what
are you talking about? This child? You can be a
gazelle in the African savannah, but here in the city,
could you try to be a squirrel or something?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Go after what you want?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Rieze's mom had done it again with her smart African
answers to it all. Chi Rizzy exclaimed herself in disbelief.
Raisy wonder shall never end, she said, looking at her
mother with uncertainty. Was this woman standing right there truly?
(03:52):
Her mother? Childieh, Mom, So for a long time you've
told me to focus in sk cool and work, and
now you're here trying to be a dating coach. What's
going on? I got this, I'm good. Listen, said Rizzie's mom.
I did not say that guys were the devil now,
(04:15):
but just let you know to stay focused in completing
your academic level before giving your termb elsewhere. That's not fair,
said Razzie. Anyways, I'll think about it. You're here talking
about dating online and whatnot. Do you really truly know
what many girls out there go through before settling with
(04:37):
one man? Do you want me to be kissing many frogs?
Lower my standards to commoners today? After having held my solf,
concerned thought standard. I don't know. All of this is
so confusing. I'll just have to pray about it. I'm
not promising anything. Ended razy totally. I totally agree with you,
(04:59):
my child, replied Riese's mom. I am not asking you
to go out there and forget about your values and
do whatever. I'm just asking you to try it to
see if you like it or not. You never know.
God can help you find a man in the most
(05:19):
unexpected place. That's all I'm saying. Mm hm. And this
is how this interesting dialogue between Riese's and her mom ended.
RISI was kind of upset that her mom, in this
current day, thought out that she could switch up and
have a say unto her way to get a man.
(05:41):
This was crazy to her. Anyways, days passed by, and
Reesie had prayed on the matter and give it a thought.
After some time, her spirit felt at peace, and she thought, listen,
why not, I'll do it, And at least if I
(06:01):
do not like it, I could base my dislike of
dating online on facts and personal experiences rather than unpreconceived
ideas or judgments. And that's how easy that on the computer,
looked up different dating websites, found one that looked legit
and had good reviews, created an account oriented her search
(06:25):
towards Christian men, and time was on. Not even more
than twenty four hours later, she had received some messages
from men of different backgrounds. What she hadn't realized is
that this way of dating will prove to be time consuming, frustrating,
(06:46):
and disheartening, because first, despite setting strict liking filters, asked
me how the site was still allowing granddad's looking like
people reaching out As she was navigating to the website.
She found it way harder this way because most profound
pictures were just not doing it either. Some thought that
(07:11):
this was their time to shine and pose like some
two thousand and two R and B singers with baby
oil all over their chest with unbuttoned shirts on, or
some hadn't gotten the main mood that their pictures were
supposed to attract people.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Moving on.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Some were sitting in the dark like they lived in
houses lighting by lanterns in this day and age, and
the others which was doing too much geeking on the
pictures like they had found some gold mine or something.
Let's just say this was just too much. The thing is,
(08:00):
when you see someone in person, it is more than
just a still image. But this was what Reesy had
to go through to have a proper understanding of the
reality of dating online. She then managed and replied to
some people who looked acceptable as per her and Boom,
(08:23):
there was one presentable looking man who could hold a
conversation and presented a lying way about him without wasting time.
He requested the meeting for a branch with Reesy, and
just like that a date was set. It said on
his profile that he was a Christian, so it was
(08:46):
time to find out in person if this man was
truly who his profile described him to be or was
he a catfish?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
To be continued.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I am my love, Liz Hope I found you well
and that you've enjoyed this episode of Babefits Tell Stories
Briezy and the Christian Man Online Dating Saga Part one.
If you found some value out of today's episode, I
believe that should also like the previous and next episode,
so stay tuned, listen. I don't know if any of
(09:39):
you have encountered funny or not so funny stories while
exploring the dating websites options by Hey, what a trip haut?
Why does it more so feel overwhelming? Than helpful or exciting. Right,
hold on, before we even talk about dating online experiences,
can we please please address Ese's mom new expertise as
(10:02):
a dating coach. Have some of you shared a similar
reality as Reesi's where your parents raised you when you
were younger in a title hold, and all of a sudden,
when you are in that way of writing it as
you were taught to do, they now want you to skydive.
Let's just laugh a bit because this is laughable. It
(10:27):
is true though, that there aren't any absolute instructions always
that teach how to properly raise a child as a parent,
and that they do not and cannot have the answer
to every situation and predict the outcomes. But let's be real,
it isn't either easy to be a child growing up
(10:48):
who has to navigate around all of these instructions. Truth is,
there is no one size fits all approach to parenting,
as every kid is unique in their own way. But
what do we do now with that information? One of
the most important things to take out of life lessons
(11:09):
is to spend time figuring out what we do while
facing adversity. That is what separate one from another. There
is an African proverb who goes like this what the
child says he has heard at home. So parent, remember
to let God be the one holding the will in
(11:30):
the raising of your children. Follow his lead, and be
the vessel used to communicate not your thoughts nor your will,
but God's thoughts and will for your children. On that note,
until next time, I wish a peaceful life, Stay blessed,
