Y’all, I planned an entire trip with a guy I don’t even know. He swears he knows me—described everything down to the last detail. Creepy? A bit. But intriguing? Absolutely.
That was going to be my opening line when I first drafted this post back on 13/12/22. But, fast forward, the updated version reads more like this:
I planned and went on a whole trip to two new cities in a country I have zero connections with, alongside someone I don’t even know. And yes, in case you’re wondering, this “someone” was a man. #RiskyBusiness, right?
Let’s call him Mr X. We went to the same university, in the same faculty, but different departments. He was a year below me—while I was conquering Year 3, he was navigating Year 2. He knew my friends, but only in that oh, I kinda know them, but do they know me? way. He even mentioned some mutuals and, get this, brought up my family. Cute, right? Still, for the life of me, I couldn’t place his face, let alone remember his name. Honestly, that should’ve been all the red flags I needed. Yet, here I was, considering going anyway…
You read that right. I don’t recall ever knowing Mr X before our little e-meet, and as I sit here typing this, I still don’t remember meeting him in person before all of this unfolded.
The trip was amazing! Granted I didn’t get presents but when it came to bills, they weren’t on me. Except for cases where I insisted, the rental, and yes, the vanities! All others were on Mr X. That rarely happens to me.
We’ll stop here before revealing too much that might unveil the enigmatic Mr. X. I’ll leave you with a word of caution: DON’T TRY THIS WITH RANDOMS.
✌🏾
