“He should have replied in her DM”: Man politely turns down woman’s proposal on X, exchange goes viral

A Nigerian man has captured attention on X (formerly Twitter) after courteously rejecting a lady’s public proposal.

The woman, who goes by the handle @4Lasade, had expressed admiration for the man, calling him “a man of value,” and asked if he would be open to further conversation.

In her tweet, @4Lasade wrote: “Dear @tundeskie, I don’t know if you are single, but I think I will just say this straight, I am shooting my shot publicly, because I think you are a man of value and I will really like to know if you are open to further conversations, thank you.”

Responding to her proposal, the man, @Intern_gbogbo_H, praised her courage but explained that he is not open to further conversation at this time.

He responded; ‎”I appreciate your courage for speaking up. I know we have interacted few times on the TL and I can tell that you are great person.

‎However, I may not be able to have further conversations around this at the moment.  I am sorry.”

Reacting to this,  one Motivational Esther remarked, “This is not fair. You could have gone to her DM. But I understand you are trying to protect your relationship. It’s okay. I hope your woman will also return the same energy when necessary. Good luck
