Who doesn't like good things? Obviously everyone does. We want to have the best things and the best persons in life but sometimes things come wearing a mask that means they are not real.
Let's go to social media, one reason I don't like it is because there are so many fake people out there. You will think your life is the worst just because you don't have the latest hair, phone or a boyfriend who will take you all on an expensive trip to any country of your choice, not knowing your life is all better than theirs. Many of them living those fake lives are in debt and in abusive relationships which is better than being single.
Well all you see on social media are many that glitters are not gold.

When it comes to humans too we should be careful. They come in sheep in wolf clothing. I have had this experience once. A guy I met. One day I was coming back from work and saw a guy that stopped me. At first I didn't give him the chance because I was very tired but he kept being persuasive so I let him know I just had to give him my number. Well that night we started talking and to be sincere I felt good talking to him. For a very long time I had to stay awake just chatting with a stranger for about 2am.

We talked about random stuff and he invited me over. You just met me? Well I don't visit people I barely know. I'm not the kind of person who measures love by buying things and sending money but he did all of that without him asking. We would call everyday and talk for hours.I just allowed him to meet my sister instead.
To be sincere I was starting to like him because she had all the attributes I needed in a guy but then I didn't want to rush things I just had to let things slide.

I even asked him if he had a girlfriend and he cooked up telling me the girl left him 1 year ago and he had been single since then. Wow maybe we would have a chance I said. But I was always scared of going to his house because he was always asking me too. At a point when he noticed that I wasn't interested in coming to his house, I started noticing some distance from him and I asked him about it, he lied that it was work stress I just let it cool off.

After a while I found out that he got a girl pregnant and denied it. Maybe he was just looking for young girls to prey on. My parents' teaching helped me scale through this deceiver.

At first when I heard this I felt bad but I was happy nothing further went on. And I learnt my lesson never to fall for someone so easily. Actually that incident affected me. That's why I'm really scared of entering into a relationship. Gifts, money doesn't prove that someone loves you,you have to have this inner conviction.
