Personally, I appreciate the “see finish” phase of a relationship. When the novelty wears off and you begin to see each other as actual people, that’s when intentionality matters most. I love the idea of becoming familiar with someone without becoming careless with them.
I remember being excited to talk to someone I dated bc our convos were so nuanced & layered. He was an interesting man. We’d hang up, then I’d text him late af abt things I couldn’t wait to discuss the next day, and he’d wake up early af and text me back while I was still asleep.
There’s just something about ending the year with a big afrobeats concert at the O2 that I love. Asake is an essential part of finishing off the year. Can’t wait
