Alright, let’s get into it 💃🏽
Today’s segment is Story Time Saturday so yes, I’ve got a story for you — and baby, it’s one for the books.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if I ever decide to fully unpack my dating history, we’d need a multi-season Netflix docu-series. 😩 So I’m giving y’all the tea little by little.
So one year — I won’t say when 😏 — I met this guy. On Twitter.
Yes. That same Twitter where some of y’all are out here finding love. At this point, I genuinely believe I’ve been chilling on the wrong side of Twitter because… wow.
Anyway, we met during a Space I don’t even remember what it was about. But out of nowhere, this guy starts talking to me. Me?? The invincible Noms??
I was shocked. I’d been on that Space before, posted pics and tweets here and there, but I never really interacted. So how — HOW — had this man noticed me?
Now, let me be honest. At the time, I had some level of low self-esteem, so anytime a guy noticed me, my brain would spiral:
“Why?”
“What made you talk to me?”
“What do you want?”
I know some of my girlies can relate 😩🙋🏽♀️
Back to the guy. His profile pic wasn’t even of himself it was some random image. Not his name either. I knew nothing about this man except… I loved his voice.
Yup. His voice was sexy 😮💨.
Now that I think back, I cringe because it’s really not giving anymore. But then? I swear he could’ve read a grocery list and I’d be swooning.
Plus, he spoke well. And I mean impeccably. I don’t know if I’ve told y’all, but I have a thing for men who speak proper, buttery English. The kind of grammar I want whispered into my ear with “I miss you” attached 😭.
So yes, I fell for this faceless, sexy-voiced mystery man.
He slid into my DMs, and we hit it off. I think we exchanged numbers that same day. I was exciteddd. This was a time when I wasn’t used to male attention, so forgive the naivety, okay? 😅
Within like 3 days, man was already telling me how much he liked me and that he was looking for something serious. By then, we’d already exchanged pics and done video calls — yes, I knew what he looked like. His reason for not putting photos online?
He was “private.”
And I get it… but babes, his privacy was extreme. Covered his phone/laptop camera. Wore face caps whenever he stepped out.
Tell me that’s not giving FBI fugitive?!
Because I swear, it was giving. I was suspicious, but love had already served me breakfast in advance so… what was my own 😭
He was cute sha. The relationship wasn’t awful. I even did a PowerPoint presentation for his 27th birthday titled “27 Reasons Why I Love You.”
Yup. I did that.
Please leave me alone. It’s all in the past 😭
But then…
Two or three months later, I see him on a hookup Space.
I’m like “Is this not my boyfriend???” 😳
So I log in with my burner account and boom, I hear him chatting up someone. LIVE. On the mic. Trying to hook up.
My man was “setting the mood.”
Of course, I confronted him. His response? I wish I was joking.
“Babe, calm down. It’s not what you think. My guy just started hosting the Space and I was just trying to set the ball rolling by being the first to speak and set the vibe…”
🤨🙃
Vibe??? Hookup vibe??? As a taken man???
To make it worse, I heard him tell the girl they’d “continue in the DMs.”
He swore they didn’t actually talk afterward. But honestly, the moment a man in a serious relationship enters a hookup Space, you’ve already lost me. 🚩
So yes, I broke up with him. That was one of many reasons.
His secrecy? Mad. Nobody knew we were together. And of course, long distance because apparently that’s my curse in life
But yeah, that Space thing? Major trigger.
Also? They always come back.
I promise you. Somehow, they always try to sneak back. But not with me. Not anymore. 👋🏽 I say this because he did try to come back.
Soooo, that’s my story (well, one of them).
Ridiculous, right? I know, I know.
Do y’all have wild dating stories too? Drop a DM or email us! We’d love to feature some of your stories (anonymously, of course 😉)
