There is one thing Gloria learnt about dating more than one
guy.
When she joined campus, she fell in love with a guy who was
doing his final year at campus. He
was handsome but a bit taller than her.
However, she still liked him. He treated her like a princess and gave her everything that
she needed, although he was not working.
After school, he got a job in one of the banks. That meant more care because he would
buy her each and every nice thing he would come across.
She never ran out of money and their relationship was moving
on smoothly. She never found any
fault with him.
Although he was not as intimate as he was supposed to be,
Gloria did not notice and would never complain.
However, in her third year, Gloria started dating another
guy. Unlike her working boyfriend,
that one was very poor and jobless because they were in the same class.
Gloria started going back home with him and they would have
meals together. He even started
going to her hostel and at times would sleep over. With time, Gloria began to notice things about her boyfriend
that she used not to, like his being distant. She also started complaining that he was frequenting her
place so much, a thing that would make her friend very uncomfortable. At times he would come to visit Gloria
and she would not give him anything to eat because all that was left was for
Gloria’s school boyfriend.
One day, her banker boyfriend went to visit her and the
school boyfriend was in her room.
However, she was lucky that her other friends were also in the room so
it was hard for the banker to know that he was her boyfriend.
Despite all of this, Gloria never thought of walking out of
the relationship because she knew that if she walked away, she would remain
poor since her boyfriend did not have money. She would get money from the other one and give it to her
school boyfriend.
She though that since her rich boyfriend could not take care
of her emotional needs, then she would get someone else to do it for her.
However, Gloria realised that she was only cheating and
hurting herself because she was never comfortable whenever she was with either
him or her school boyfriend, thinking that one of them might find out.
Gloria finally made up her mind and decided to drop one of
them. It was the school boyfriend
she dropped. However, all that
taught her that she would never date two guys at once because she cannot love
them equally. She only has one
heart, that will belong to only one person, not two or more.
