A young lady has sparked widespread debate on social media after advising women to stop assuming they are in relationships simply because a man shows them attention. Her message has since gone viral, resonating with many who shared similar experiences of emotional misunderstanding.
In her viral video post, she explained that just because a man constantly calls, chats, or checks up on a woman does not mean he has declared his romantic intentions. According to her, consistency and attention should not be mistaken for commitment unless a man openly defines the relationship and expresses his feelings.
She cautioned women against building emotional expectations based on routine communication or physical affection, emphasizing that “you are still single until a man clearly says you are his woman.” Her bold statement has been interpreted as a wake-up call to women who often assume exclusivity without verbal confirmation.
‘Stop mistaking attention for commitment,’ she adds
The lady went on to highlight that many women fall into the trap of believing emotional availability or constant companionship means commitment. She urged women to demand clarity from their partners and stop interpreting gestures of care as proof of love or exclusivity.
In her words, “Men know what they want. If he hasn’t asked you to be his woman, then you’re not his woman. Stop overthinking it or trying to fill in the gaps he hasn’t addressed.”
She also pointed out that communication is the foundation of any serious relationship, and that it’s unfair to expect loyalty or exclusivity from someone who never defined their intentions in the first place.
Her advice quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions from users who either agreed with her straightforward take or challenged her for oversimplifying modern relationships.
Public reactions
Social media users flooded the comments section with their thoughts, with some commending her honesty and others expressing skepticism about her viewpoint.
One user wrote, “She’s absolutely right. Some women be acting like girlfriends to men who never even asked them out,” while another added, “Make she talk am again louder! Too many people dey confuse talking stage with relationship.”
However, some users disagreed, arguing that even men who make things ‘official’ can still behave dishonestly. One commenter noted, “They’ll tell you you’re their woman and still cheat, so defining it doesn’t always mean anything.”
Another user humorously added, “Make he use billboard post am na, so we go see am with signature,” drawing laughter from others who found the statement relatable.
The video continues to trend across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, fueling conversations about emotional boundaries, communication, and relationship expectations in today’s dating culture.
