I cannot fight for a man
Apr 11, 2012
I am too beautiful to fight for a man. I look into the mirror every morning and thank God for that extra minute he spent on me.
Dorah Atwongyeire is a presenter on Urban TV and a news anchor at XFM. VICKY WANDAWA asked her about her love life
How long is your wedding guest list?
What? My wedding? Huh?
Yes, your wedding.
Well, umm, I……I am not planning a wedding soon, but if I were, I would go for a small number, perhaps 200 guests.
Why did your eyes almost pop out when I asked about your wedding?
I am absolutely single. I have been approached by many men, but I have not found the Man.
So you have met many men. Whose heart did you last break?
Three months ago, I had a boyfriend, but I realised that the relationship was not working out as planned, so I broke up with him. He flirted with every girl he came across. It killed me that the words that were meant for my ears were being said to other girls. When I love, I am very protective and I cannot stand that.
Recently, there have been lots of acid attacks from protective lovers…
I would not do that to a man, not even to the girl, since most likely, it is my cheating boyfriend who approached her. I am too beautiful to fight for a man. I look into the mirror every morning and thank God for that extra minute he spent on me.
Being single, would you date your friend’s ex if you thought he had all the qualities you want in a man?
No way, that would hurt my friend! However, I have had problems with some of my friends whose boyfriends hit on me, but I do not give in. These girls are no longer as friendly as they used to be.
Are you sure you did not lead these guys on?
No I did not; it is just that people easily confide in me. I guess they find that attractive and end up hitting on me.
So, don’t you worry about losing your friends?
The thing is, I am straightforward, I will say exactly what I feel. If my friend’s man is hitting on me, I will tell them about it. Even if they give me that bitchy attitude, thinking I am the enemy, I still will have told them the truth, no matter their reaction.
What kind of man are you looking out for?
Smart, both physically and intellectually. What is more, I am a very busy person, so I need a man who will take care of me, one who will call me up just to ask if I had lunch.
