Something doesn’t add up

Hi Rosie,

I always like to read the advice that you give to people who have various questions. I am living overseas. One day I was walking the street and this guy passed me, then he called out to me and asked if am from Trinidad. I told him
I am from St Vincent. We chatted for a while and he said he is from B’dos, etc. He said from the time he saw me he knew within himself that I am a good woman. We exchanged numbers and he has since asked me to be his woman/wife.

I told him let’s be friends and see where it leads, but he wants for us to hit it off right away. His wife passed away a couple years now. How do you think I should go about doing this? I do not have a man in my life at present.

Dear Amazed,

Ok, this is different. Not the part where a guy sees an attractive woman and wants to introduce himself. Nor the part where he wants to talk to her to get to know her better. Nor the part where he tells her that he thinks she’s attractive and would like to get to know her better. But it’s the part where, like a run away horse from the Garrison Savanah, he wants you to settle down and be his one and only!

So you, a woman with obvious commonsense, said to yourself, “self what is going on here?”. Even though he seems nice, something doesn’t add up here. If you said this, you would be very right. It’s either one of two things. He is very lonely after the passing of his wife and is on the hunt for a replacement and you are the wonderful contestant at the moment. Or he is running some serious game!

Either which way, please proceed with major caution. There’s no need to rush into any sort of commitment, your feelings will always come first. So safety first and always and I wish you the best in whatever direction you chose to go.
