Love, Sex, Lies

Here’s a message to all the young ladies who are facing the pressures to be sexually active……

Guys have a tendency to tell young ladies what they want to hear, so they can get what they want. They tell us they love us, and we say it back. We’re sometimes told that it’s not true, but we believe that word “love” is a fact.

She runs and tells her friends about the good news, and they don’t believe her because he’s not that type of dude. They tell her, “let him go,” because he is just a lie; she doesn’t believe them because he says he really loves her. There’s nothing they can do because she thinks she knows it all. They say they will let her learn on her own the hard way, because right now she is feeling that life is a ball.

Months go by, he’s asking for sex. She says “oh no baby, I’m not ready yet.”
With an attitude he walks away and says, “I’ll holla.” Later that night she calls and he doesn’t answer; she leaves a voicemail and says “baby, I’m sorry for what I’ve done, and if you want, we can do what you asked me to do today.” A couple minutes later she gets a call back from him, he’s as happy as can be. She did what he wanted, and now it’s truly love that she sees. The next day she calls him, and she gets no answer, and now she’s wondering what he problem is. She talks to her best friend. Her best friend says that he got what he wanted, so now he’s long and gone.

She’s now wondering why she’s not getting any of her calls back. She finds out that he has a girlfriend that lives close by. She gave him what she can’t get back. Her life is in a transition due to following her heart. She’s so hurt and can’t stop crying. She screaming at him and saying “I thought you loved me,” and says she feels like dying. Now all he does is look at her with a grin, because he really didn’t care to begin.

So ladies, ladies please beware of how you perceive young men and the cruel consequences of giving in.
