I remember it like it was yesterday, it all begin when one of my close friends asked me to go a wedding with her and I as I had couple of assignments to do I refused and then she said well at least come shopping with me and I agreed with a smileJ and on our way to oxford street we meet two guys on the train and I must admit I thought they were good looking. My friend was surprised at me since I don’t check out guys like some of my friend. After a while they came over and started chatting to us, and being the shy person I am all I could do was smile. One of them took a keen interest in my friends and they started talking to each other like they were the only two people in the planet, which meant I had to make small talk with the other guy. After a while we got into a debate about how the Somali ladies have changed since we came to Europe and as usual I stick up for Somali women so I told him few home truth and all he could say was I like ur thinking. We came to our stop and they go off with us, my friend gave the guy she was chatting to her number, the other asked for my number I said sorry I cant give you my number since I live with my parents, I thought he would leave at the but he said u have to give me ur number and I said qasab miiyaa and he started laughing and I said no but I really like you so therefore I need ur number so I can contact you, my friend came and I thought she was going to rescue me but instead she invited them to come shopping with us, at that point we discovered he was from Australia and that he was in London for a holiday so he agreed, I grab my friend by the hand said what do u think ur doing and she said come on live a little . I was so quite the whole way to the shops, we went to one of my favourites shops and I couldn’t try on any clothes so all I could do was look around while she went off to the changing room. After couple of hours we agreed to go and have lunch, how could I eat while they’re here, to make matters worse he was staring like I was the only women in the world. To make long story short we finished our shopping and they invited us to the cinemas my friend agreed as usual but I said hell no I aren’t going and walked off, as if it wasn’t enough going shopping we them, my friend apologised to the guys and we went home, on our way she was like ur ruined everything I looked said how did I do that, just cause I said no I am going to the cinema with them. We are not something they pick up and take them where they want. Since I have seen a lot girls get hurt by Somali guys I thought no I am never going to put my self in any position, this meant I kept my self to myself, whenever a guy asks me out I would say no sorry. A week after that, I was coming home from work and there was a lady who lived behind us who had five little boys with no father around, I used help her so I went to her house and they children came running up to me and as I was kissing and hugging them, when I finished that I walked to the living room and guess who was there Mr Aussie and I just froze, I don’t know why but I did,. I told the children ill be back I need to go home and get changed-----------thank god their mum was not there. I went home and I didn’t go back the till the next day, he was there I was introduced to him, when I finished feeding the children I took them to the park and he came along, on the way he was telling me about himself and I didn’t really want to know I but I listen anyway. After a month of getting to know one another. He would help with the kinds when I am giving them bath or feeding them or even cleaning, always there by my side to help out and I thought wow. One night he walked me home and he told me that really liked me ever since he saw me all I could say was really and he said please give me a chance and I said sorry I cant and just walked off but he never gave up, he used send me flowers, chocolates, letters even music tapes, what made me realize was when he waited for me outside my work place and I thought give a chance and I did and I didn’t regret that. We got to know each very well and I started falling for the guy, when I was with him I was always smiling, he would pick me up from work, take me out to cinemas, restraunt. I have changed completely, I stopped hanging out with my friends, he was my friend now and we used to spend every minute with each other and never got bored. I don’t think there are any words to describe how we felt about each other. But I know I was that he made believe that there are nice Somali guys out there. He made me believe in fairy tales. He was kind, intelligent, handsome, loving, romantic and he was a Somali guy. The aim of this story is to tell my sisters and brothers who have lost hope in each other, please don’t cause Somali guys are brilliant vice versa, they are our brothers, fathers, granddads and our future husbands, So please give each other a chance. |

indeed that was a fairy ( sp ) tale -like story . How wonderful and im really happy for U and just keep wishind and dreaming that, it happens to me as well " One sweet day"
even though i wouldn't give him my number either on the very first time but i guess after that ( Shopping " spree' and ( movie ) ? .Well u didn't give him a chance but that meeting at the old ladies house with the kids , i guess did just fine , after u two got a chance to go to the park as he walked beside u and the kids , Wooow that must have drifted u to a " sweet little imagination" of how it would have been if it were with U . OOOoooops Did i go too far??
Sorry BYE,
