How to date

If you’re in love with someone, the next logical step is to find out if they feel the same about you. Often you can guess if someone’s interested. If you’re not sure, be brave!

Try to get into a situation where you’ve got a chance to talk to the person. If you have mutual friends, let them introduce you. You could also send them a text message or try to make contact on chat – but if they don’t answer, don’t pester them. If you notice they’re not really responding or they’re even trying to avoid you, there’s a good chance they don’t return your feelings.

Bear in mind, however, that there’s an extra tricky puzzle in the love game: some people can be standoffish even if they’re really attracted to you, because they don’t know how to cope with their feelings! Or maybe they feel they shouldn’t be responding to your advances even if they’d like to. So don’t immediately assume someone isn’t interested in you because they don’t respond straight away.

Some guys have the idea – often picked up from movies – that if you keep hassling a woman long enough she will give in to you. People might tell you that if a girl says no or even gets upset or angry, you should ignore it and not give up.

This is a fantasy – if someone reacts like this to your advances, you’re just being abusive.

If you get a clear no, be respectful. Move on and leave the person alone.

Asking someone out

If the person you’re interested in responds positively to your cues, you might want to ask them out on a date. You don’t have to be a man to ask someone out – women can do it too, so don’t be shy!

Before planning a date, find out what they like doing – maybe watching movies or sports games, going to museums, walking, or dancing. It’s a good idea to meet in a quiet place near where you live, somewhere you can relax and talk easily.

Remember, dates don’t have to be fancy or expensive. They can be simple, like meeting at a kibanda and then taking a walk in the park.

First date

First dates are often a bit tense. Maybe you’re very nervous, or feel like you’ve got butterflies in your stomach. There could be awkward moments on your first date – when you think you’ve said something silly or when you just don’t know what else to say. Don’t worry too much: the key is to stay calm.

For more tips, read our first date do’s and don’ts.

Once you’ve realised that you both like spending time together, you can start thinking about another date. It doesn’t always have to be your responsibility to decide what to do – you can put the ball in their court too. Over the next few meetings, try finding out more about them, about their likes and dislikes, their past, and their dreams for the future.

Are you even more in love, or starting to worry that it won’t work out after all? Does a relationship seem realistic?

When to hold hands, kiss, and have sex

While you’re dating, you might want to hold hands, kiss, hug, or even have sex with your partner. There’s nothing wrong if you feel that way. If you’re not entirely sure what your partner wants, talking about it can help. You can be straightforward and ask, ‘can I kiss you?’ or ‘how would you feel if I held your hand?’

Having sex with your lover is a big decision. Take one step at a time. You might want to talk to your partner about it before you make a move. The most important thing is to know if they feel the same way and really want to go ahead with sex. Read more here about having sex for the first time. If your partner doesn’t want to have sex with you, respect their feelings. Their choice could be based on religious belief, or it could be for cultural reasons. Maybe they want to wait till they’re married, or maybe they simply don’t feel ready for sex.

Give them all the time and space they need to think about it and make up their mind. And then accept their decision, whatever it is.

            Hi Matthias, Sorry to say, we are not a dating service and cannot assist you in finding a partner. Best thing to do is take some time with yourself, find hobbies, practice things that you love and try to learn how to be happy with yourself. Happiness and confidence is attractive in a person and when you find yourself in a good place people will find you. As always, feel free to ask us any questions about love, sex or relationships if they come up. Best of luck.

          Hello Joy, unfortunately, there is little you can do to make someone to love you if they don’t. All you can do in such a situation is to move on. Sometimes, you will love someone and they won’t feel the same way. However, just because one person didn’t accept, it doesn’t mean the next person will also not accept, you just have to keep trying until you meet the person who will love you back. We wish you all the best.

    1. Geoffrey,

      Geoffrey,
      Reaching out to people that you are attracted to can be difficult because of the fear of being rejected. However, they are no different than how would approach a friend, family or other person. The initial hello and coming up with small talk is the same idea except the person is front of you is attractive.

      The best way to do this when you are nervous is to talk to people who share interest. Do they go to school with you? Are they working? Did you meet them at the movies? This way there is already a commonality between you an it gives you the first conversation topic. Find other people who like what you like and try to mingle from there.

      Otherwise, just be honest. Tell them who you are, why you approached the (they said something smart, they like the same team, you find them beautiful etc) and then build the conversation from there. Tell them about yourself, and ask questions about them. You are attracted to them and ideally as you learn more about them you will become interested in them.

      Everyone has nerves and the girls know that. They will be flattered that you even tried to reach out and talk.

    1. Tracy,

      Tracy,
      I’m not sure how we can help you. Chances are he wouldn’t leave his family anyway; very few men leave their families for a mistress. But even if his wife found out, she would be hurt already, because he is cheating on her.
      And you don’t want him to leave his family.
      So why are you confused?

    1. John,

      John,
      money can be difficult. It might stand in the way of a relationship. But find out more- do you like her for other reasons (we assume so)? Get to know her, spend some time together and see how you feel about it.
      Good luck!

  59. It’s generally assumed that
    It’s generally assumed that we go on dates with people we don’t know quite well that is why a first date will require that we get to know them better and stay calm and stuff like that.
    Do people who are turning a long-term friendship into dating, follow the same rules?

    1. Dating has many components
      Dating has many components and not just getting to know each other so yes even people who were friends need to date since they are beginning a new chapter in their lives.

  60. hi, am 20years i am
    hi, am 20years i am financially stable but i have pressure to marry.should i marry with this age.

    1. Gerry one only marries when
      Gerry one only marries when they are ready and not because they are under pressure. Financial stability is not the only key to a good marriage. Don’t give in to pressure only marry when you feel its right for you.

  61. I got engaged to my fiancee 2
    I got engaged to my fiancee 2 months ago. I informed her that I can’t afford to do a wedding because of financial constraints but she can’t hear any of it. She has threatened to quit the engagement if I don’t give her a befitting wedding. What should I do I want her to come over we begin our live together.

    1. Thomas its sad that you are
      Thomas its sad that you are in that position. Its important to always discuss our financial positions in any relationship so that you understand each other and don’t have unrealistic expectations. You need to sit down and discuss your financial positions and come up with an agreement like pushing the weeding to a date where you feel you will have raised enough money. It will be important to start you marriage on the right note because if you don’t, it will not have a good chance of survival.

  62. I have this withstanding Love
    I have this withstanding Love for this lady but when we started every thing seemed great and with time she introduced to me some ex guy of hers who travelled abroad and later turned back over to ug and since that time all seemed no good between me and her and for so her last words came as ITS OVER BETWEEN ME AND HER BUT I FEEL I STILL LOVE HER MUCH,what should I do

    1. Claxton the only thing you
      Claxton the only thing you can do is move on. A relationship is between two people who want to be with each other, and if only one is interested then its not a relationship. You will find someone who will love you back all you need to do is move on with your life.

  64. I have been in 4 r/ships n
    I have been in 4 r/ships n have never had sex with any of the four gals.I am 21 and most of my friends see me as lucky because I can easily convince ladies though I usually lose interest for sex with time what can I do.I fear if I have sex I will be addicted to it….help

    1. Almartine not having sex
      Almartine not having sex especially when you are in arelationship simply mean you are not ready for it and that normal. Addiction does not come easily and its rare for one to get addicted just because they started having sex. Sex is involving physically mentally and emotionally and until you feel you are ready for all that ,you need to keep on abstaining and not because you fear getting addicted.

      Hi Mwikali, Marriage is a serious commitment and most people like taking time with that kind of decision. You need to find out what it is he’s not sure about and why he would want to have a child outside wedlock. These information will help you get to know where you stand with him and what direction the relationship can take. Sometime its also good to think about what you want and then see if it aligns with what you have currently.

    1. Hi Mary, thanks for writing
      Hi Mary, thanks for writing to us. It would be very important for both you and him to define the kind of relationship you have. This will help you know where you stand with him. You might also want to talk to him about what kind of future he wants you two to have. All these will help to inform you if that is the relationship you want to be in or if you want something different.

      Hi Augustus,

      That is a very difficult question to answer since you are the only one who can answer it.

      Do you feel like you can be able to forgive her and trust her again?

      Do you feel like you will be able to resolve your past issues and move past them?

      These are some of the questions you should be asking yourself as they will help you answer your question.

    1. Hi Ismail,

      Hi Ismail,

      What do you mean by disconnecting your relationship?

      You should have a talk with her and seek to find out why she has changed. If she is still interested in the relationship like you are you will find a way of sorting your issues. But if she is no longer interested it might be time to move on.

    1. Hi Omar,

      Hi Omar,

      This is a difficult position to be in. You need to take time and think about what you would want to do. If you decide to forgive, you need to know that you would have to sort this issue out before you can move on, otherwise the issue will always be there.

    1. Hi Joyce,

      Hi Joyce,

      Sorry for what you are going through. Its hard to hear this but it sounds as though he’s no longer interested with the relationship.

      You need to make a choice whether you will stay on and continue getting this treatment or move on with you life.

      You can always love again in the future its very possible. The fact that you think you cannot is because you are hurting at the moment.

      Take time and make a decision.

      When one is in a relationship its between two people.

      Getting other peoples approvals especially your parents is a bonus but it does not always happen.

      Take time to know about your partner and hopefully if it works about your parent might approve of it.

    1. Hi Destiny,

      Hi Destiny,

      Trust is a very important aspect in any relationship. One question you need to ask your self is, do you trust him? and if you don’t do you think you can trust him again. Think about this then make a choice about what you want to do.

    1. Hi Annabel.

      Hi Annabel.

      Its sounds as though your partner has another girlfriend. You need to have a talk with him about it in order to know whether he wants to pursue a single relationship like you. If not then you need to make a choice about what you want for yourself.

  99. I met a guy 4yrs ago and we
    I met a guy 4yrs ago and we are still in a relationship but he have stop caring for me since we made love. He doesn’t like staying with me unless i tricked he with a promise of having sex with he. We talked about getting married but now he is telling me that he’s parents said that he give his self time and i don’t have that time .he always introduce me to his friends but not his family. He only act like he cares when he feels or knows that someone is asking me out infact he do feel jealous,i feel like he is not ready for marriage but need me for sex. So now i have decided not to have sex with he. In fact now i don’t really love him again but I’m pretending to love he because I want revenge. The way he makes me to cry and wait for him i want he to surfer that way too. I’m mine really over he or I’m suppressing the love in form of revenge or what. Please i need your advice seriously. Thanks

    1. Hi Smarty,

      Hi Smarty,

      You need to realize that revenge is a double edged sword and as much as you want to hurt him you might end up hurting yourself.

      Take time to think about what you really want. It might be easier just to end the relationship and move on.

    1. Hi Fred, only time will tell.
      Hi Fred, only time will tell. If she loves you enough then her sister should not play a big part in your relationship. You should probably talk to her about it and find out where she stands with it.

    1. Hi Destiny,

      Hi Destiny,

      It sounds as though your partner is angry about how you communicated. Its ok and normal to have fights in relationships. The most important thing is to always solve the issues that arise. Give it time and when he is ready to talk you can try to resolve the issue.

      All the best to both of you.

      Hi Vera,

      The fact that you feel guilty is because you are cheating on them. You need to take time and decide what it is that you want and make a decision. You have the power to change how things are all you need to do is make a choice.

      All the best to you.

    1. Hi

      Hi

      it normal for girls to send mixed signals like that when they have an interest to a particular thing.

      You do not need to be angry at her, instead do nice things for her and try to win her heart like a gentleman. Hopefully if she’s genuine interested you two will be in a relationship.

      All the best to you.

    1. Hi

      Hi

      Every relationship has its ups-and-downs, especially when you spend a lot of time with each other. Certain things will make you angry or upset which, in turn, can lead to an argument. It’s just a normal part of any relationship.

      you should be comfortable to Being able to say no to sex if you do not want it. You should not be apologetic about it.
      If your partner loves you enough they will be patient. If not they will leave and you will be lucky enough to to have fallen to their trap.

    1. Sorry that you are going
      Sorry that you are going through this Nics.

      If you know your partner well and have had a close, long-term relationship, you can often tell when something’s not right. You might notice that they’ve begun spending a lot more time at work, they have less time for you and your family, start taking calls in private, and seem less committed to doing things with you. Maybe they’re paying attention to their looks, and they appear confused and detached. When you ask them if anything’s wrong, they shrug off your question.

      Finding out that your partner’s been cheating on you can be a traumatic experience. It can seriously damange the trust between the two of you and could even lead to a break-up, separation or divorce. You might spend days, weeks or months wondering what you did wrong and why this happened.

      But don’t blame yourself – take some time to calm down and think about your relationship.

      Whether you want to stay with your partner depends on a number of things. Is your partner willing to go on? If they are, what will it take for them to regain your trust? Will your trust in them ever be restored? How can you start rebuilding your relationship? The answers may not be simple, but give these questions some thought and it might help you decide on the right path to take.

    1. Hi Jimmy,

      Hi Jimmy,

      It sounds like she has made herself clear about what she wants. If you want to be in a relationship where someone feels the same as you, you need to start thinking about being with someone else. Take time and think about it.

    1. Hi Marion,

      Hi Marion,

      Sorry about the medical condition. Hopefully the doctors can be able to treat you so that you are healthy again.

      Getting to meet someone is the first step. Dating takes time and you need to get to know your partner well enough before you start thinking of having a child with them.

      It would be a good idea to try and sort out your medical issue first as you try to find a partner. Here are some tips o meeting new people https://lovematters.co.ke/resource/how-approach-and-talk-new-people .

      Hello Hen,

      Have you found out from your partner why she is not ready to have sex with you?

      You seem to be in different places in your relationship, you feel ready to go to the next level while she doesn’t. The decision to have sex is an important decision one that one needs to carefully consider including thinking about whether it is the right time, whether they are with the right person, how they plan to protect against unplanned pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections among others. Talk to your partner to get to know what her reasons are so you can both find a solution. Whatever her reasons are you will have to respect her choice.

It takes time to get over a break up but eventually you will. Check out this article;- https://lovematters.co.ke/love-relationships/breaking-up/coping-with-a-break-up

      Hi Ssembewa, If you’re in love with this person, the next thing to do is to find out if she feels the same to ward you. Most of the time you can guess if she is interested in your, especially when you are friends like it is in your case. You may never get to know for sure how she feels towards you unless you ask. You have to be brave, find a good time and ask her how she feels toward you as you also tell her how you feel toward her. She maybe interested in you or not, so think carefully about what either outcome will me for your current relationship with her, this way as you make the nest step you are clear about the possible outcomes. We do wish you all the best.

Spending time with each other is an important part of any relationship and while you do this communication is key since this is one way of getting to know each other. One way to keep the conversation going is to start with topics that you both comfortable talking about and interested in since you will both have something to contribute. Also, it is important that you communicate which means you actively listen, show interest in what your partner is saying and not just want for your turn to talk or obsess over what to ask or talk about next.

      Hello John, did you ask her if this is what she wants? It is important you think about whether you want to get back together her and then ask whether she is interested in getting back with you. It is however important you talk about why she left in the first place and then address the issues that made her leave to try and try to reduce the chances of this happening again should you get back together.

    1. Hi Annette, there is nothing…

      Hi Annette, there is nothing wrong with you asking her what she would prefer especially because you are still new to each other. The first date should be comfortable both in terms of time and location for both of you. If you don’t know enough about her to plan a date, talk with her and get to know what she would like. During the date, try and talk about topics that are easy to talk about and things you are both interested in. Avoid things that are likely to cause tension during the date. The intention is not really to keep her talking during the entire date but to have a conversation that will be engaging and enjoyable for you both.

      Hello Robert, it seems that they were not ready to settle down at that point. It may be useful to express your desire of settling down including when you wish do that early in the relationship to make sure this is clear. This will help determine if this is what the person you are dating wants as well and will also help you both decide how to proceed. Having said that, not all relationships will last a life time but just because one didn’t work doesn’t mean the next one won’t work.

      Hello Bussein, if she says she is a christian then you have to believe her especially if it is important that you get into a relationship with a person of the Muslim faith. Since she says she is of a different faith, it maybe time to break up especially because issues of faith are usually deep sitted and one may not be willing to compromise on this.

    I started to like him and he asked me to see him in an hotel, at first I was nevous to go because I have never gone out with a man,
    But my friends said I should go.
    So I went, and after meeting in the hotel nothing happened becare I said no and he listens since then we met in the hotel frequently but I never allowed him to have sex with me but he still listens until one day he kissed me without my knowledge so I wanted to stop him but I couldn’t because I really like it, it was my first kiss but I never wanted to stop, since then I feel eager to see him,we have been romancing each other but no sexual intercourse yet till now and I think I love him, although he is a married man and much more older than me.
    What can I do ??

Whenever she has a problem am the first person she inform, we mostly spend time together at my place and even kiss. I proposed her but she said she cannot be in a relationship with me.

  181. Hello Anonymous, thank you…

    Hello Anonymous, thank you for getting in touch and we are so gald you have identified someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Do not panic. There may be some personal reasons in her life that she in currently unable to express to you for one reason or another but that does not necessarily mean she does not feel the same way about you. Communication is an important part of any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Explain how their actions are affecting you and the relationship. Try not to be confrontational because that would put them on the defensive and the resulting conversation would not be productive.  Be ready to listen to their fears and feelings and respond to them as well. Everything will be okay and we are here for you. Have a wonderful weekend ahead and stay safe buddy!

      Hi Morningstar, 

      The best thing to do is to have an open and honest conversation with him. Express your observation and ask him to open up about what he wants out of this relationship. If you never had this conversation when the relationship started, it is important to have it as it will help you make an informed decision about your life. If his aspirations for the relationship do not align with yours you should definitely walk away.
