This week’s episode on Afrogist, based on popular demand, explores a simple yet thought-provoking question: When did you realize he or she loves you? Love reveals itself in different ways, sometimes through grand gestures and other times in the smallest, unexpected moments. Sit back, reflect, and enjoy this heartfelt discussion!

‘He is my bestie, we do lot of things except sex though and he has a girlfriend. But I just can’t let him go. He asked me to send money to his girlfriend, which I did, because he left some cash with me. I called the girl and asked for her account number, but her reaction was just there, no excitement or whatsoever. I called him and asked him if he made his girlfriend angry, he insisted why I said so, I had to open up to him that the girl was just sounding somehow like she was not happy about the whole call thing.
I only opened up to him cause I felt the girlfriend was not happy. Next thing, he ended the call and called the girlfriend immediately asking her why she would act up at my call, he took the whole thing too far like I never saw it coming in that manner. He had to warn her and also asked her for a break. When I confronted him on why he was taking the little issue to the extreme, he said on no account should anybody take me for granted or make me feel bad or less.’

‘…when he travelled across three states to come and see me. ☺️☺️ He actually surprised me with his visit cause he was really busy that period but I was still nagging that I wanted to see him. After pulling my legs that he can’t come, I opened my door and was greeted with the sight of his handsome face 🤗🤗.
One of the best days of my life.’

‘The way he looks at me, the way he treats me, the way he values me, the way he remembers every single detail I tell him, the way he kisses me, the way he tells me he loves me, the way he creates quality time for me, the way my issues bother him and most importantly, the way he loves God.’
Gege(F)
Nigeria
‘This question is tough, I just realized he loves me. And I was very sure of his feelings, without hearing it from him, maybe it is because of his reactions, expressions, and behavior around me.
BUT I AM SURE HE LOVES ME.’
Princess(F)
Bauchi
‘When he left his apartment to mine in the night (around after 10 pm), just because I was not responding to his calls or messages. Only for him to get here, and see me sleeping. Baba woke me up with annoyance and worry on his face.
I pitied him because he had work the next day, his office is both far from my house and his house. So he would have to go home very early the next day to get ready for work (since he didn’t think to bring clothes for work because of woman).
At that point, I knew he had fallen for me.’
Shola(F)
Ogun State
Some of the stories here are simply heartwarming! 🥰 In a world where hate, cheating, and lies often seem to dominate relationships, it’s easy to question whether true love still exists. We hear so many stories of heartbreak that it sometimes feels like love is fading away.
However, moments like these remind us that love is still alive. Seeing people go out of their way to show genuine care and affection is both refreshing and reassuring. It proves that love isn’t just a fantasy—it’s real, and it thrives in the little things people do for each other.
These stories give us hope that soulmates might actually exist, that there’s someone out there meant for everyone. Love isn’t always perfect, but when it’s true, it’s worth holding onto. I hope you enjoyed this week’s episode as much as we did.
Thank you for being part of this journey, and I look forward to sharing more beautiful stories with you next week. Until then, keep believing in love! 💕
