I had my first valentine with my current boyfriend in Abuja during my sophomore at the University when I paid him a visit. We went to a restaurant on Williams Street called Ofeke Foods, afterwards he took me on a tour round their collection of antiques and works of art.

That was my first official valentine outing and doubled as the day he asked me out. I had visited that place before now, but seeing them again with him, having more details about the collections from him, since he has a career in the world of arts and thus had more details about these antiques than I did, made the whole experience classic.

We then left to a fine garden resort at the corner of the city; there we had some fun time talking about so many things, got to know more about ourselves. We lay down at one corner of the garden starring romantically at each other. At this moment, I didn’t know what happened to me; I had an overwhelming pressure in my mouth that ushered in a YES to his proposal for a relationship with me. It was a memorable experience.
