I once dated a girl who never asked me for money.
The surprising thing was that she was still a student then, and she wasn’t even from a rich family—we were from the same backgrounds but different community.
Each time I visited her at school, I would give her money, and she would refuse, telling me to keep it. She did this several times.
Sometimes, she would call and ask to borrow money. She always used the word “borrow.”
I remember giving her 5k once, and she said she would pay it back.
I didn’t take it seriously because I knew it wasn’t common for women to do that here.
But surprisingly, she sent the full amount back to me after three weeks.
Her attitude made me start thinking that maybe she didn’t like me.
But then again, I thought to myself, “This is a good girl. I should start planning to marry her because she’s not materialistic.”
I was happy, thinking I had found the right one.
So during her final year, I proposed to her.
She looked at me and laughed—the kind of laugh that throws you off guard—and said, “You’re a good person, but I won’t marry you.”
That was one of the greatest shocks of my life till today 😥
