10 Things You Definitely Expect When You Date A Yoruba Boy
So you’re dating a Yoruba demon man?
This post is to help you prepare yourself properly for that angel in starched white Agbada.
Here’s what you should expect when you date a Yoruba boy.
1. Kneeling to greet his parents
If you’re lucky enough to get introduced to his parents, under no circumstances should you stand when you’re greeting them. You will be blacklisted immediately. When you’re greeting your Yorubae’s (I just made that word up) parents, you’re expected to kneel on both legs.
2. You’re going to cook a lot
If you don’t know how to cook, learn immediately! Cooking is one of the tests you must pass to be with your Yorubae. His friends will expect you to cook for them when they visit, and his family will expect you to cook when you come to visit.
3. You will be introduced to a lot of people
Your Yorubae is going to introduce you to a lot of friends and family. But make no mistake, this does not mean that you’re the only one in his life. The friends and family will cooperate with him and call you ‘Iyawo wa’ even when they know you’re not the only one. It’s a cold world.
4. There will be a lot of whispers each time you’re introduced
Each time your Yorubae introduces you to someone new, his friends/ family will call him aside and ask him one of the following questions:
- Is this the new one?
- Have you left the old one?
- Are you serious about her?
- When did you start dating her?
5. You will be greeted a lot
Yorubas love their greetings. His family will greet you and inquire about your family then proceed to tell you how well their son is taking care of you.
6. You will do a lot of chores
Whenever you visit his family, they will expect you to help around the house. This is a huge test that you must pass, so don’t mess up. Make sure you ask how you can help, and do the chores cheerfully.
7. You must respect every single person in his family
If your Yorubae has a newborn sibling, you’re expected to respect the baby. You must put some respek on each and every family member’s name.
8. You will be compared to the women in his family
He will compare everything you do with the women in his family. Be prepared for that.
9. If you make it to the end, be prepared for a huge Yoruba wedding
Yoruba weddings are lit! If you eventually become the last girl standing, prepare for the wedding of your dreams.
10. A Yorubae that’s fine AF with a lot of swag
Yoruba boys have a lot of swag, it’s why the ladies simply can’t get enough. *wink*
