Out of self respect, I would want to remain anonymous so I can say exactly what I’ve experienced and what is on my heart. And maybe, just maybe, my experience will be a lesson for some men out there…
I am a Ghanaian in my late 30s who owns an African shop out here in Maryland, USA. I cannot say I am greatly successful but I have enough to take care of myself and even waste some on certain not-so important things.
I had a 4 year relationship with a certain young Ghanaian woman out here. But even though things were not that amazing, it was not that bad.
As a shop owner, I spend a lot of time traveling and whenever I settle down, I watch a lot of African movies in my shop as I sell some of these movies.
This is how I developed an interest in a young rising Ghanaian actress, an interest which will later cost me thousands of dollars and end my 4-year relationship.
You may call me a fool and I think you have the right to do so because I behaved like one. After spotting this young woman in several movies, I contacted my friend-a movie producer in Ghana who promised to get me her number.
With constant pressure from me, my friend sent me this actress’ phone number and we started chatting. I was shocked to learn she was single. I told her about my not so happy relationship and she said, maybe she could make me happy.
After several calls and chats, I told her I was coming to see her in Ghana. Excitedly, she sent me a long list of the things she needed. Pushed by a strong will to impress her, I bought everything including certain things she did not even mention.
All this time, I was chasing the beauty and elegance I saw in her movies. She had sent me several great pictures, confirming she is really beautiful, the kind of woman every man will want to have by his side.
