How it’s like dating my BFF😏

Hey guys! I’ve been getting so many questions about this, so here it is! Lol . In this post, I will be discussing how it’s like dating my BFF in a Q&A format. I hope our mini love story is helpful to someone (:

Q: How is it like dating your BFF?

A: Honestly you guys, it's great! It was a really smooth transition because Nael already knew me on a personal level, as well as my cultural background and just what I stood for overall. We didn't have to play the Q&A game since we already have been close for 12 years now (I know, we've been close since I was 9yrs old). We really connect, especially on a spiritual level and that was a biggie for me. I prayed for a guy that was spiritually lead by the almighty God of course, and that's what God provided me with and it's a total blessing. When I tell you guys how much Nael knows me...he KNOWS ME! (I know you're like duh, you guys have been close since forever) but still..he knows me too well..its creepy. Lol It's as if he studies me.. which I think he does. I remember at the end of 2017, Nael shared with me what he observed about me and he was 100% accurate. At that moment, all I did was smile. Why? Because it showed me how much he loved me. A guy who truly loves his girl will get to know the real her by studying her every move.

Q: Were you scared to date your BFF?

A: I sure was! Lol I remember when I was younger, people would tell me how they dated their best friend right? Years later, they ended up breaking up and now they're not even best friends anymore. I personally did not want to take that risk of losing Nael. I didn't think a relationship was worth more than our friendship, so being together from that point on was a back-thought. That's why whenever people would always tell Nael and I that we would be together, I would be like "naw.. I don't think so" and just deny that idea altogether because I simply didn't want to cause a breach within our friendship. Now that we are together, I am confident that there will be no separation between us. When it is God's will, His will WILL be done.

Q: What took you guys so long to tie the knot?

A: Well, like I mentioned earlier, I didn't want to risk losing our friendship, and also it had to be the right time. What I mean by that is this; my mom wasn't ready for your girl to be in a relationship (even though I've been in a few already when I was younger...but she doesn't know that so shh!) My mom wanted me to wait until I finished school to start dating which sounds reasonable right? So in the meantime, my mom did not want to hear ANYTHING about boys. Guys were like a curse word around her. If she heard it, she would freak out on me.. SERIOUSLY! Not only was I waiting on my mom to finally open up, I was just waiting on God. When it comes to love, there's no need to rush. So Nael and I took our time. (We courted over a year & a half) If you plan on spending the rest of your life with someone, you better make sure you are certain about what you're getting yourself into. (You're not only affiliated with that person, but also their family). It's funny how God works though because now when I look back on how everything played out, I'm so glad that Nael and I took our time and pledged to just wait on God. Everything was practically perfect. From the time when I told my mom about Nael and I in 2016, and how open minded she was about it all, till now. One thing that I learned is that when you decide to wait on God's perfect timing, not everyone will understand the concept of it all, but it's not for everyone to understand. It's only meant for you, and your significant other to comprehend. Yea, you'll get mixed opinions from friends but trust me, it will be worth the wait.

Q: How did you know Nael was the one?

A: I get this question all the time! lol. It's funny because when Nael and I first started talking in 2015, I started to get some red flags because he wasn't meeting the criteria I had in mind . So initially, Nael wasn't the one for me and I decided that I was going to drop him like a bad habit! From that point on, I was praying to God that "if it's not meant to be, it's okay.. I know You have someone better in store for me." After praying that prayer.. God did something that blew my mind. Towards the end of 2015, God began molding Nael into the man I was praying for.. (a God-fearing man, a guy who would wait with me, a guy who is a family man, wise, a gentleman, etc..) and I was like wait.. God, what are you doing? God then revealed to me that He didn't have anyone else in store for me. Nael was and is the one He had for me. So from that point on, everything began working out for my good. Like I mentioned before, my mom became more open minded about me dating and ended up loving Nael (which I knew she would).. and it was just beautiful to see how everything played out. God is funny guys.. I really love Him. Lol
