I loved him, but he was too slow

Candy Birungi is a designer and an upcoming gospel artiste. She told VICKY WANDAWA why she is not searching

What is your latest song?
It is called Higher. It has a very beautiful, energetic and inspirational video. It is actually my first video.

Beautiful video, any well-built hunks in it?
Yes, they are handsome.

How do you find working with your boyfriend?
I do not work with him.

But you said the boys are handsome, so I assumed..
They are handsome, but they are not what I am looking for.

Did you have a say in choosing the guys who appeared in the video?
No, it is dance a group and it is my manager who decided to use them.

So, who is your boyfriend?
I do not have one and I am not searching. I am at the beginning of my career and I do not have time for a boyfriend.

But what kind of man would you like?
A patient, hardworking, brilliant and understanding man.

Your last heartbreak?
I would not call it heartbreak. I liked him and I think he liked me too, but he never said a word. He was slow. He travelled overseas before asking me out.

Perhaps he was not into you
He was! He called me four times a day, picked me up and took me home almost every day, bought me clothes and shoes I did not ask for. All he asked was my size and I would have a new wardrobe.

So, who did you date in his place?
No one.

But I guess you have had crushes. Who is your latest crush?
William Levy, the guy who acted in Don’t Mess With an Angel.

There are men who are not Born-again, but go to Pentecostal churches to get women. How will you avoid falling prey to such men?
As long as a man has the right qualities, I do not mind him being Catholic, Protestant or any other religion.

But the Bible discourages you from being involved with non-believers.
I have heard stories of men who are Born-again doing nasty things to their wives.

But you are Born-again and that is what the Bible says
As long as a man loves me and he has the qualities I want, I will go for him.

Aren’t those double standards?
It is not easy to follow the Bible word for word.
