According to her, they had talked consistently for months, exchanging texts, phone calls, and video chats. Everything pointed to a promising relationship filled with hopes and plans for the future.

However, after finally meeting for the first time, things took an unexpected turn. The lady explained that the date itself went smoothly — they talked, laughed, and shared a connection. She even returned home excited about how well the date had gone. But the following hours were confusing. Her calls and messages were ignored by the man. The next day, when he finally responded, the reason he gave left her in shock.

He confessed that while he found her attractive and liked her personality, he couldn’t pursue a relationship with her because she was light-skinned. He revealed a personal fear stemming from knowing a woman who developed skin cancer from bleaching. Because of this, he said, he worried about marrying a light-skinned woman and potentially spending money on cancer treatment in the future.

How I was dumped over allegations of bleaching, cancer fears

“I once dated someone online, and the day we met physically was the day we broke up 😩😂. The first time I saw him face to face was the last time. We have been talking online for months(phone calls,texts,video calls) planning our future, dreaming big, not knowing the reality was about to set in, a complete heartbreak waiting to happen.

“The connection was deep and sweet. We thought “this is it” or maybe I thought.. We arranged to meet on a weekend in a location close to my place, he gave me a call when he got there and I was there with him shortly.

“We chatted, ate, gisted, and the flow was great, the connection was there, there was no such thing as cold feet, we left the scene, he hopped on the bus for his destination and I went to mine also. I was so happy and couldn’t stop telling my roommate then about how smooth the date went, not knowing that was going to be the last interesting moment we would have.

“It all started going awol that day, I called him countless times to ask if he got home safely, he didn’t pick up or call back to tell me he was home or if I got home. I was looking forward to his call so we could talk that night about our date — y’all know how the after-first-date chat dey sweet if you guys clicked. “Fast forward to the next day, I didn’t see his call like he’d usually do in the morning before setting out for work. That was when I sensed the problem. I couldn’t stop asking myself questions like “Did I say anything wrong during our date? Doesn’t he like me?”

“He finally called around lunchtime to tell me he was sorry, he was busy, and his phone was down and all. I said okay, but I noticed a drastic change in how he talked to me. I let it slide and told myself not to jump to conclusions. He literally just ghosted me. I called him after work and said we need to talk. I asked him to be sincere with me about what’s going on, because I noticed the change in him after the date. That was when he said he doesn’t have a problem with me, that I am pretty and cool and all that — but he is scared of light-skinned girls.

“I was like ‘what!’ WTAF. Trust me, I didn’t believe my ears. He said he knew of a lady who had skin cancer because she bleached. So since then, he is always scared of light-skinned ladies because he can’t marry someone and in the future be using his money to treat cancer.

“Ahhh!! Disappointment wore me garment of black skin that time. I was like what kind of person is this, who told you I bleach, do I look bleached to you! I am not even that light, I no be bororo now 😩😂. Trust me, till today, if I discuss this with my friend, we always burst into laughter because what’s that!! That was how we went our separate ways o.

“Omo the thing vexed me then but I moved on. Guess who later hooked up with that my same friend I told about him — this same guy! He didn’t know the lady was my friend. Mind you, the online dating wasn’t on Twitter or Instagram, it was a dating app where you have to create an account, put your pictures and about a video or two up, your biography or about you sha.

“So he linked up with another babe in his mind not knowing she is my friend. Thank God I talked to my friend about him and sent his picture to her 😂. That my friend abused the hell out of him and told him “the lady named … that you turned down after a date because of this reason is my friend, so don’t even think about asking me out 😂.”

“He came back to message me to beg my friend on his behalf to date him 🤣. I told him that’s not my business, they should go sort it out. Dating apps will show you shege pro max, my people. Single people dey suffer 😂😩.”
