Lovelines
Despite that I am not in the country I am still enjoying Lovelines. It has becomes a weekly program that some of us Gambian living in abroad are used to every weekend via the Daily Observer website.

I always read and listen to series of this type of love talk show but this one championed by the Daily Observer is a mixture of African and European styles of love. As a brother I want you to keep it up. The advices and comments you give are great.
J. Mawdo, Paris

Here at the Daily Observer reader satisfaction is our concern. We are here to bridge the gap all you need is to always get a copy for your reading pleasure as we are always ready to bring the news and entertainment to your door step. So Lovelines remains your weekend love tonic. Good luck!

We end it in a nasty way

Lovelines
I have a problem. I once dated a girl for 9 years before we ended the relationship in a nasty way. I called her late night during free calls and a man received the call. This led to tug of words between us. Later on my darling call me and was fighting for the man’s right. How did you see this?
Sarr

If I am very clear with your text message it is far over between two of you. You are only trying to pill the corn at the back of a calabash. If really you love or determine to have this lady as your wife you should have married her far before now. Nine years courtship is more than enough for both man and a woman to decide where their relationship is heading.

In my own view since things have ended in a very nasty way between two of you it is better you forget the relationship for life. Doing this you will be able to avoid embarrassment. Really a nine years relationship with bad ending to my knowledge lacks achievement, trust and determination. Good luck!

He promise to marry me

Lovelines
It is 3 months now that a man I have been dating for 7 years has stopped calling me. He promised to marry me but suddenly changed. When I called him all he have to tell me was "if you see a man whom you love you can go in for him." Now that I have found someone that I love and also love me, he now sent his family to my parents and asked for my hand in marriage. He said he was just testing me. I don’t know what to do because I am already falls in love with another man.

That is a century test. This is not among the best ways to test or decide if there is love existing between partners. A test after seven years of dating is a proof that there is no more love and trust exist between two of you. So seven years is more than enough period to test someone you love His test is one of the easiest ways to tell a woman "I am not ready or will not marry you." Or "I am through with you."  If you truly love this your new found lover I will advise you to stay glue with him and know what he want from the relation.

Telling your partner to go with another person if he or she found one is alternative ways to call it quit. However, you need to follow your heart to wherever it takes you. Good luck!

I don’t know my problem

Lovelines
I am 21-year. I want a girl to love dearly but I don’t know my problem because I can’t find myself one.
Sulayman

Rome was not built in a day. Love is a thing from the heart that will crawl out from its hide out when its time comes. All you need to do is to be confidence of yourself. Do not live with fake identity be yourself always as possible as you can. So your inability to find yourself one might be due to the fact that you lack confidence in yourself. Therefore be bold and express yourself in a simplest manner as you possibly can. Good luck!

She wears short dresses

Lovelines
My friend ex gal friend is in love with me. She always comes to see me at my house.  Anytime she is visiting me she will wear a very short dress that always reveal part of her body. Now I don’t know what to do.
K-Zal

It is very difficult for me to admit that you do not know what to do. I have two ways answer which is attraction and harmless friendly interest.  So decide which of the two that you are having for her. If it is attraction that means you want her and if it is harmless friendly interest try to broker peace between her and your friend. And if you cannot broker peace then let her know that nothing special will happen between two of you.

If you know you will not be able to restrict her body temptation, try to avoid her as much as possible. One thing, if you are interested and ready to eat the remnant left by your friend seeks for permission from no one since it is over between her and your friend. But remember that you will be tagged – betrayal. Good luck!

I met her confused

Lovelines
There was a lady I met when she was confused. Her mum has travelled abroad while she stayed with the father and cousin.  Then she was ill but I do not want to reveal the type of sickness. Regardless of my profession as trained health personnel I considered her to be my sister. With the help of Almighty God everything was solved.

In return she ask me out and wanted us to be a lover. Before my acceptance of her proposal I told her "I am afraid because girls are material minded."  She still proved to love me. Now she had travelled abroad for four months and I have not heard anything from her.
Jagana

Well if you know her telephone number you are bound to call her to know how she is doing. And if you don’t have her number I am very sure that you must have her email address and if you don’t it shows the extent of love between both of you. That she has not call you since she left does not show that she forget it. One thing you should know is that it is not easy to settle down when you are outside your home country especially a first time traveller. However, you only mention that she loves you but not that you love her.

More so you unwilling to revealed the type of her health problem is another thing. So do not mumble over spilled milk. If she is yours and you love her in your hearth sooner or later you will be in touch. For now try to expect her call for the next few months before your final decision. Good luck!

Re-body odour

Lovelines
I am a frequent reader of your weekly article. I would like to tell the lady to also use lime to wash her armpits constantly for about 5 to 10 minutes daily before shower. Very soon she will notice the changes in her body within one week.
(Anonymous)

Thanks for your contribution. I hope she is reading and will be happy to do that. Good luck!

I have heartbreak

Lovelines
Shortly after having heartbreak I decided not to have anything to do with any man. My decision was cut short when I met a boy that said he love me. I explained to him my heartbreak and that I wanted to be careful about whom I go out with. He was able to overcome me with his special affection.

I accepted him and we have very nice time together due to this he had promise that he will never break my heart. Now he does not call me anymore. I am the only one calling that does the call. How can I prove his love for me?
Rohey

Stop calling and visiting him and see his reaction. Then you will be half way to know his mind and how concerned he is about you. Why should you be the only one making the call? However, call is not the only thing we use to measure love because several years when mobile was not in existence our forefathers have their own ways of keeping in touch with our mothers. So get closer and know him more.

It is then you will be able to know if he truly loves you or just to have the taste of your flesh alone. This is one the thing he has succeeded in getting from you. Be wise! You can make a call for more information. Good luck!

My boyfriend is angry

Lovelines
My boy is angry with me because I don’t go to their school inter house competition. what am I going to do now?
Fatou

Tell her the reason that kept you away that made you not to attend the inter house sports competition. He will surely understand you. Should in case he does not be on your own when he get tired of annoyance he will come back. If he doesn’t come back forget him. Besides what suppose to occupy your mind now should be how you will pass your second term examination, which is approaching. Good luck!

In needs of partner and friend

Lovelines
I am a young man who needs a serious and determined woman to marry. I work at Basse and ready to settle down with the love of my heart.
Mr T.

Lovelines
I am in my late 30s I need a woman friend that we can share idea and become good friend. I would be happy if I can find one.
Yasmir

Are you a young lady that wants to be loved or ready to meet the love of your heart? Pick your phone and call Lovelines to meet Mr T. And if you are a woman that is interested in making friend with a man to share ideas, care and more send a text, mail or better still call Yasmir via Lovelines and be fulfilled. Good luck!

How to approach beautiful women

Beautiful women are always the fantasies of men. Figuring out how to approach beautiful women is something most men avoid due to fear of rejection. Contrary to what most men think that beautiful gorgeous women are just for nice looking men, the good news is that you can win a beautiful woman’s heart regardless of your looks, age, or financial position if you are bold and confidence enough to express yourself.

To achieve your aim when you see one the following are important steps: Initiate a conversation that will interest her. Beautiful women always think that men are interested because they are just amazingly beautiful. Initiate a conversation that will interest her. It could be about a movie or music she likes or a hobby that you both have. Don’t be too confident of yourself, act naturally and politely this will make her feel safe and respected. Smile and maintain eye contact during conversations.

Do this in a slow pace without rush things, remember that you are a stranger to her and you are on the verge of getting to know each other. Avoid overly call. She might be astonishingly attractive gorgeous woman, but still you have to keep cool and act slowly. How to approach beautiful women could be a real challenge but if you really want to meet that gorgeous woman of your dreams and have her forever, it should not just be a dream.
