The Coffee Date

I was curious about going on a coffee date with this guy I met. I wanted to meet this gentleman called Jerry, a lot has been said about him. So I really wanted to talk to him and also get to know him in person. Only if he's my kind of man or not, how responsible he is and also know what his dos & don'ts are.

On a fateful Wednesday evening I was opportune to meet Jerry, my long awaited date. That evening was indeed so special to me. I was wearing a purple short gown and he was in a corporate dress. His perfume smells nice, the fragrance is so strong, he talks calmly which I admire so much. Coffee was being served and he began a conversation by introducing himself and how inquisitive he was to see me. I smiled, 'don't blush too much. I still haven't known anything about him', I told myself.

As we sip the coffee, I decided to ask him a few questions to know the kind of suitor that's coming for me. "what triggered your love for me"? I asked. As a lady , I would like to know the reasons why he loves me". I wanted to patiently judge if he had loved me for the wrong or right reasons

There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask. I further asked him what is the level of his qualifications , and whether he would like to further his education"?, because I wouldn't like to marry someone with low esteem. People who have the desire to learn have a special spot in my heart.

I went further to ask him the following questions;

"What do you do for a living?" I wanted to know if he is independent and when he intends to settle down so that I will know where it will end up". The questions I had in mind were many, but I was eager to know who he was and a few more questions weren't bad. I told myself

"Where do you see yourself in the next three years"? As a lady, it is good to know if the suitor is someone with vision. I wanted to be sure he has a planned map for his life

"What are your likes and dislikes? wanting to know his strength and weakness and what are the characteristics he was looking for in a Lady?, so I can know if I am really his kind of girl or not and if there is room for adjustment then it's necessary .

"Would you want your wife to work under someone or you prefer her to be self employed", I want to know if he is supportive or not and if I'll be allowed to use my professional certificate or not

" what house chores can you do easily without being cajole to do it", so as to know if he can participate in doing the house chores without stress.

"Do you relate with people around you most especially with family, colleagues or neighbors?" I want to know if he keeps good relationships with people or not, if he relates very well with people it means one will have to be prepared in receiving visitors anytime .

I further asked about his family background. I need to know where he's coming from, how many siblings, if both parents are alive, also the behavior of every family member, for example if they are the type that asks many questions, the strict type or they are friendly . So for the first approach or first visit I will Know how to coordinate and behave myself to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

His answers weren't too perfect but they were satisfying. I waited a bit longer to know him much better above his words
