Deborah from Thika Shares What Worked with Mark from Ruaka

Hello Mary. Deborah from Thika. Thank you for the introduction to Mark, and I want to tell you specifically what worked, because I think it matters.

What I asked you for was someone who could hold a conversation like an adult. Not impressive, not smooth. Just able to say what he meant. That is harder to find than it sounds.

Mark was polite in his first message and he stayed that way. Our first meeting felt like two people getting to know each other rather than an interview, and neither of us performed. We talked about what we each expected early, before it could become awkward later.

It is only a few weeks and I am not going to pretend otherwise. But the pace suits me and the respect has been there from the start. To any woman reading this, watch how a man behaves when he does not get his way immediately. That tells you most of what you need.
