How to Get a Bae Before Next Year’s Girlfriend Day

This year’s Girlfriend Day has come and gone, and it's possible that many singles out there felt the pressure of having no bae and/or no gifts as couples worldwide celebrated with surprise dates, heartfelt messages, or thoughtful gestures. If you are a single pringle and want to avoid a repeat of this year’s boo-less situation, just follow these simple steps.Advertise your single status online: Facebook is great for announcing the relationship status of a person. Just choose the single relationship status option in your bio, and Facebook automatically sends a notification to your friend list. You can also include "Single and Actively Searching" in your Instagram bio as well. These days there are TikTok sounds to help you put your best pictures out there while telling the world you’re still single in a trendy way. If people can advertise their married status on their bio, why shouldn’t you be able to do the same?Try new activities: I don’t mean going to church, clubs, or similar places. Go to a top supermarket or restaurant and fake a fainting spell. Top supermarkets attract well-groomed men, so this is an opportunity for you to be revived by one. Once he “saves you” from fainting, you can get his number and start the process of wooing him subtly. You can also try drowning in a pool at a five-star hotel. One thing is certain, even if you don’t get saved by a nice guy, you will get the attention of one or two. If you can’t swim, don’t try this, just in case help doesn’t reach you quickly.Watch "getting boo" themed movies: I don’t mean American romance movies. I mean Nollywood movies. Movies like Sister’s Within, which narrates the story of how Fiona tricked Jerry into bed, airing on Saturday 17th August at 10:00 pm on Africa Magic Epic (ch. 6) on GOtv; Finding Hubby, The Adventures of three friends, as they kiss the many frogs in the quest to find their prince, leaving them to question their friendship, love, and life, showing at 9.000 pm on Saturday, August 17th on Africa Magic Showcase (ch. 11) on GOtv and Love Is A Trickster, a movie about a tomboy who explores feminine ways to win back her man, airing at 1:30 pm on Sunday, August 18th on Africa Magic Family (ch.7) on GOtv.Become a gym rat: Ignore the popular narrative that women go to the gym to hook up and go to the gym with the mindset of finding your better half, even if that person is someone else’s bae. After all, a popular scripture verse says the kingdom is taken by force and working out in the gym will give you the stamina to fight for her man to become your man. You also get the bonus point of getting in better shape than the competition.Recruit your family and friends in your quest for a boyfriend: After all, a closed mouth is a closed destiny, and you are destined to have a boyfriend by the next Girlfriend Day. Ask your female and male relatives to attend church meetings, August meetings, PTA meetings, age group meetings, and CDS meetings, and get you the numbers of all the eligible bachelors in attendance so you can send them Whatsapp broadcast messages announcing your availability. Create a flyer with your best picture, biodata, and phone number, and ask them to hand them out at these events.If you try all these steps and still don’t have a boyfriend by next year’s Girlfriend Day, then it is your bad habits that’s responsible for your singleness.
