@FabusoIaG Congratulations
If the first you had toasted a lady she might have thought twice but the second you it’s either a yes without a second thought or she will come running after you herself😂

[Deborah Oluwatomiwa Ariyo @ariyo_deborah]

@AdewuyiRoseline Hmmmmmm deep.

[Deborah Oluwatomiwa Ariyo @ariyo_deborah]

@AdewuyiRoseline More importantly, before we commit ourselves to a long term support. We should have this honest conversation from the very beginning. We don’t pray for life not to turn out the way we expect but we should also always leave room for the What ifs.

[Deborah Oluwatomiwa Ariyo @ariyo_deborah]

@AdewuyiRoseline Honesty is the way to go.
I will have an honest conversation with the person, although humanly speaking there would be disappointment from the other party which is expected. But life happens and so should the student also understand that it wasn’t intentional.
