EEEEEEEEEEERM WHO EXACTLY SHOULD PROPOSE??????????

.................and then he gazed in to her eyes, lifted her chin with his hand and he said the words that she had been waiting to hear. Then he gently kissed her, and told her was the woman he had envisioned to be with forever. And she whispered "me too" and giggled shyly looking away because his gaze was too strong for her. and then he breaks in to song and dance running in to the forest, and they both start running in and out of the forest singing.Before you know it, a crowd has suddenly appeared singing dancing for 30 minutes.


Ha ha ha ha, it's never going to happen. Only in Indie movies it will. Too much of watching those is dangerous though, cause this is how it's probably going to happen perhaps........

You will be biting your chips and chewing hard, and then it will be said really fast in a sentence, " So you want to be my girlfriend?" It will feel like an ambush or in modern times "you want to be my boyfriend" ha ha ha, now that sounds odd to some of us (its actually normal, nothing wrong with it all). or the other one for "so now..........."  or if you are really not lucky it might go like "si we unanilike, na mi nakulike, so tuna likiana" Either way it is good to be direct. Sana sana Kuna wengine hawaa understand.


Proposals are so cute though don't you think. Anyway if you ask me I think they are really hard. I figured that part already, based on a recent experience.

So my neighbour......I am writing this cause am certain he will never find this BLOG and you will never be able to locate who it is. God forbid he does find it. So every evening when I am going home, he feels the need to shout embarrassing complements from across the road as I walk home. Then I will giggle or something of the sort. That walk feels so long cause, not any more do I like drawing attention to myself. and  considering that the path to my home is like a walk to Maasai mara, it is so rocky, you might think you are going to a game reserve, it feels even more everlasting. Such circumstances plus his comments predispose one to higher chances of even falling for example. So he does this like everyday, next to a shop that is never empty by the way.


So this Saturday I was escorting a friend of mine who had come to visit. He(my neighbour) was in a Taxi and then he started shouting as Usual beckoning me. Hmmmmm, first of all he is so lucky he is my immediate neighbour and I know the rest of his family. I don't always appreciate people beckoning from across the road in an almost disrespectful manner,. SO I went. Then the usual, the comments, and compliments, for which I was saying thank you, and then here is the bomb. " you have a nice body, you should one day come and sleep in my bed."




"hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!" you see my head was wondering, no you didn't  just say that. My friend(from Church) on the other hand was disguuuuuusted.


I know I know, I should be mad, really mad, but after my head spinning and shock expressing itself in all possible angles(my eyes, nose and mouth) I thought it was hilarious.

My friend was obviously out of breath with her facial expression having expressed all possible forms of disgust, as I laughed this whole thing out. First of all dude you is a child, you are 23, I am not about to engage in paedophilia and secondly who says that???? But I did cut him some slack, PROPOSING IS AWFULLY HARD. Even if you held a gun on my head I would not know what to say, what to even do?  He looked embarrassed, more than the two of us were for him. I DOUBT, he wanted to say that. ha ha ha. He probably had planned to say something better when he was beckoning me so courageously. I bet he will never call me out like that.

So you see how dramatic proposals can be. And recently I had those discussions with friends of mine about who exactly should propose, in my head am like, NOT ME.  This is probably/ obviously a biased opinion. I THINK the man is wired with natural ability to take in rejection more that most women can. As in dude will be told nope, and he will bounce back even stronger, with flowers and poems eventually you MAY take him in for his PERSISTENCE. heeeeeeeee chica, can't take half the things dudes can. Sijui one will develop high blood pressure or even instant malaria. For me, it would be even more awkward coz I would avoid gentleman A for the rest of my life, the one for hiding behind every building in town. I would pay millions to not be awkward, i think my awkward tendencies are really really random, they have made me miss grand opportunities.


Anyway, after living a year over quarter of a century and even after having been given the power to read and write, I still don't know the answer. All I know is there are some girls who have done the whole proposing thing and voila, sema kua in great relationships. Hmmmm, but the ones whom it has backfired for, sema shock.ha ha ha, okay It's not funny. I do actually wish I could be that bold. It's not a cultural thing, I think I am more fearful than cultural about it. Though my culture is the one that tells women to Kaza, not even when you are dying, you shall never sell yourself out as being overly whipped. Thou shalt confess, when confessed upon.

Can you imagine, a woman with a mind, with emotions and have them locked in. You may call it bondage. I don't know what to call it, for even if I was free, I would still be incapable with my strengths. You know those things some people say, you may not want to be  free of. I think being woed is beautiful.

One person said though, love is not for the proud. The lonliest people are those adorned with pride. But even more those surrounded by fear. I have both those but maybe fear in double portions more than the average person. But even more. I say, there may have been some rules that perhaps were never meant to be broken.

For if a man is to choose to protect and be there for a woman in love. without being obliged, then he can take the lead. And a woman can submit to a man in love when he has already loved her. And perhaps there's a reason some people just cant do it, maybe because they were designed for the ones who are a bit more daring warriors.

I read somewhere "Focus on your career, yourself and you life, focus on a man when he focuses on you"  It is bound to be dispelled.

YOU TELL ME, WHO SHOULD ACTUALLY PROPOSE?
