Date your type(intellectually)
I recently met this guy he's a nail tech he was really into me and I was hey why not give this guy a chance. Couple days of talking, he asks btw what do you do? I told him I am a freelancer working remotely. He was like it's okay. Next day this guy texts me of course after few chats here and there, "umetoka job" I assumed I understood him nikamwambia, "yeah nlishafunga job". We went on so well until two days later he texts me " btw ulisema unawork side gani". At this rate, I felt like he was already in my nerves. I was so irritated like, couldn't he just Google the meaning of freelance.
Dating someone whom your intellectual capacity ziko almost same level will save you a lot of explaining and unnecessary frustrations.
