Robina ‘Bina Baby’ Mbabazi, 33, is a presenter of the Love Chat, a late night love show on WBS TV. She tells Titus Serunjogi why she has remained single.

You are 33, in the limelight and still single… I have not met a man willing to commit to marriage. I see a lot of handsome, rich and successful focused men and get smitten. But how can I be seen hitting on a guy?

How about the callers on Love Chat? The other day one of the callers said he was fantasizing about you. You nodded and kept on encouraging his sentiments…

There are many men who call in and tell me all sorts of teasing things. But that is just as far as it goes. Flirting is not genuine love. It is just a sign of lust and that is not what I am looking for in a man.

So who is your ideal hunk? Oh! I want to have a very proud and arrogant husband, one who no one else understands but me; one who thinks for me; one who reads my mind and knows that now I want a kiss. I hate guys who ogle at every passing skirt and flirt with every woman.

Have you ever found a Mr. Right?
Yeah, once I got really close. I met this guy who was not only proud and intuitive but he was also 10 years older than me. He had a good job and a modest income. He was focused and hardworking. The only problem with him was that he was so committed to a reading magazines that he would sometimes ignore me completely. Other women compete with fellow women for a man but for me I had to compete with a magazine which he loved so much. We soon had to call it quits.

What else pisses you off about men?
I have discovered that men do not like to be told they have changed. But what’s wrong with it? If we have been in a relationship for four years and I find that you are no longer showing me the courtesy you showed me on our first date, why should I not tell you?

How about becoming a single mother or a second wife so you can call it a day with dating?
I would not be a second wife unless I am the first (laughs at the paradox). I also do not want to be a second choice. Why should I? I know there is a man God created for me alone but it is just that he has not yet come yet. One day I am sure God will answer my prayers. I believe a child is supposed to pick from both his mum and dad; I do not want to bring up a son who is lacking the father’s side in him. Good things come to those who wait, you know.

Menopause will soon be knocking on your door…
I do not believe in menopause. Age is just a number and if God has a plan for me to get married and have kids, then it will be fulfilled in the best possible way. If my child’s prospective daddy is to come by at 65, so be it.
