Good morning Mary. Edith here from Buruburu. I wanted to send you a small update and also say thank you.

When I first reached out, I was honestly unsure about the whole thing. I am an adult student, and I was hoping to meet an older man who could support me while we enjoyed each other’s company. I had already heard enough bad stories about online connections, so trusting someone new was not easy.

You introduced me to Michael from Ruaka. We talked for a while before meeting, and I liked that he was clear about what he wanted from the beginning. Our first meeting was relaxed, and I never felt pressured to pretend or agree to anything I was not comfortable with.

It has now been about three weeks. We still talk regularly, and things have been going well between us. He has been kind, supportive, and consistent, which is what I wanted most.

To anyone who is as doubtful as I was, take your time and ask questions. Do not ignore your instincts, but do not rush to judge someone before you have spoken properly either.

Thank you, Mary, for the introduction. I am happy I gave it a chance.
