A young woman has reached out to a relationship expert in distress after a man she turned down three times proposed to another woman at their workplace.
In a detailed post, the woman shared how the man, who joined their company, chose her as a friend despite attention from other female colleagues. She helped him adapt to the job, which earned him praise from their boss.
Months into their friendship, he confessed his feelings and proposed, but she declined, not wanting to appear too eager. When he proposed again, she asked for time to heal from a previous heartbreak, even though she had strong feelings for him.
The third time he proposed, she again turned him down, expecting him to persist. However, he then pursued another colleague, and they are now planning to marry next month.
Feeling heartbroken and unfairly treated, the woman sought advice, expressing frustration over men not being persistent anymore. She described how she fell deeply for him but played hard to get, leading to her current anguish. Here’s her full post:
“Bro Kwaku, good evening. I want to understand why men are not persistent anymore, especially with women like me.
Last February, a new guy started at my workplace. Out of all the ladies, he chose to befriend me. We got along well, and I helped him with his work, which impressed our boss.
Two months later, he invited me to dinner and expressed his admiration for me, wanting to start a relationship. I was already in love with him but didn’t want to seem desperate, so I declined. He accepted my refusal gracefully.
Days later, he brought me flowers and perfume, asking me to reconsider. Although I had fallen for him completely, I still played hard to get, citing my past heartbreak.
For the third time, he took me to the beach to convince me he was different. I asked for more time to think. When he asked again, I said ‘not yet.’
After that, he never brought up the relationship again, focusing only on work. Recently, he announced he was getting married to a colleague next month. I was shocked and devastated.
I’ve been waiting for him to ask me out again, but he never did. Now, he’s marrying someone else. Why are men not persistent anymore? Can’t we be treated and understood as ladies anymore? I’m really hurt, Kay. What should I do?”
