Cupid Not Stupid
by: Check EdgarFor years, my Valentine’s gift exchange was nothing short of a national embarrassment. While other guys were getting PS5s, designer perfumes, and surprise trips, my love life felt like a cruel social experiment. My gifts? A pack of Cabin biscuits (yes, dry biscuits with no drink), a tube of toothpaste (was she hinting at something?), and a mug with my name spelled completely wrong. At some point, I started believing I was the problem. Then came 2022. That’s when I met Nnena. And the gift she got me? Unbelievable. The kind of thing that made me question if Cupid had finally decided to stop playing with my destiny. What was the gift? Did my Valentine’s Day curse finally break? Or was this another setup from the universe? Tune in to find out.

I laughed, I cried, I made questionable life choices—but most importantly, I remained single. Again. In this episode, I’ll break down my 2024 goals—what I crushed, what crushed me, and what I conveniently forgot about by March. Then, I’ll take you through my dating adventures (or misadventures), including the lady who borrowed my jacket and still hasn’t returned it. And finally, there was that moment when I thought, just maybe, this was the year I’d stop asking, Why am I still single? Did I finally find love? Did I escape the trenches? Or am I still out here collecting relationships L’s like Infinity Stones?
