A BLOG ON HOW I MADE A NEW FRIEND YESTERDAY

Good evening Steemians, I hope you are having a great evening. I made a friend yesterday and today I'll be sharing with you how we became friends.

After exercising yesterday, I decided to take a morning walk down the road and after walking for about ten minutes, I met someone. He looked familiar and I screamed DAVID.

I thought I had seen a friend from school but he wasn't DAVID, the guy didn't answer and I just kept looking at him. It then drew to me that it was not the DAVID I knew.

I walked closer to where he was and I introduced myself.

“Hi, my name is Jemilat.” I said.

He didn't say much. In fact, he didn't say anything. I could tell that he was shy or maybe he thought I was crazy because of how I was screaming his name from afar. I decided to say something that could make him comfortable.

“I was shouting the name DAVID because you looked familiar. DAVID is a friend from school”. I said with a smile.

That did work and he felt comfortable.

“Oh, it's okay. My name is Prince though and not DAVID”. He said with a smile.

He had a very nice smile I must confess.

“Oh, I said. That's nice”.

We talked more. I must say that he really does know how to engage someone. He was not only a good listener but also a good ‘talker’. I asked what he was doing in Uyo and he said he was a student in the university of Uyo studying Insurance and Risks Management.

We talked about meeting later and I asked if he was cool with taking a picture at the moment. He said he was not looking all good and asked what I needed the picture for.

I told him about Steemit and he said he was interested. Like, it sounded amusing to him.

We didn't take any pictures though because I was also looking bad. You know, I was exercising. We planned on meeting later in the day which we still did but I still didn't take pictures.

We met yesterday and we still did meet today and I helped him register a Steemit account.

That's how far the friendship has gone in less than 48 hours. 😅

I can't wait to do a lot with my new friend. I can't wait for us to work towards a lot of the things we talked about together as a TEAMMATE. He sounded very ambitious and it will be awesome being part of his success story.

Thank you so much for reading. 🥰
