File photo of a man in distress
Dear GhanaWeb,
I met a lady last Thursday at the beach. We spoke for a while and exchanged contacts. Just a few minutes after exchanging numbers, she called to ask if I had left because she wanted to swim but didn’t have enough money to buy a bikini. She asked if I could help, so I sent her GH¢200.
After I got home, I turned off my phone for a nap. When I woke up, I saw a text message from her saying, “I’ve been trying to reach you, but your phone is off. I’ve sent you some pictures on WhatsApp to show how I looked in the bikini.”
Curious, I checked the pictures, and they weren’t bad at all. I texted her back, complimenting her. She immediately called and asked if we could meet later that night, but I told her I was occupied.
The next day, we started talking more on the phone. She began sharing personal details about herself, including having had two abortions, not being ready for babies, and not liking condoms. I was shocked at how easily she shared such personal information within 48 hours of knowing me.
She kept pushing to meet again, so I suggested we meet at the beach on Monday. Before leaving for the beach, she called to say her friend wanted to join her, and I said it was fine.
When we met on Monday, she said she wanted to swim and had brought her bikini. While she swam, I spoke with her friend, who kept praising her and saying I wouldn’t regret dating her. At one point, her friend stepped aside to take a call, leaving me alone.
Noticing this, the lady stopped swimming and came to sit with me. She asked what her friend and I had been discussing. I told her her friend was just trying to help me get to know her better. She then made a surprising comment about her friend, saying she thought her friend liked me, but her friend was living with her boyfriend, who was a mate, and they had a child together.
I told her it wasn’t appropriate to speak about her friend like that, but she insisted she knew her friend well. As it got late, I offered to order a ride for them. To my surprise, she said, “Order for her. I’m going home with you today.”
She explained that she had packed clothes and other essentials in her bag. I told her I couldn’t take her home because I lived with my girlfriend. She then suggested we lodge in a hotel instead.
I refused and convinced her to go home, promising we could meet the next day. I ordered a ride for her and gave her some money. On my way home, I called a friend to share what had happened. My friend jokingly suggested I pass her on to him if I couldn’t handle her. I explained my concerns—it wasn’t about handling her but rather the possibility of her being pregnant or having an ulterior motive.
The next day, we met at a hotel. She offered me a glass of wine. Initially, I declined, not wanting to get drunk, but she insisted, saying we should loosen up and have fun. I eventually drank it and got drunk. One thing led to another, and I fell asleep.
Unbeknownst to me, she took naked pictures and videos of me. When I got home, she texted, saying she missed me and wanted to spend time at my house. I refused, explaining that my girlfriend was at home and what happened between us was a mistake.
She started crying on the phone and warned me I would regret rejecting her. She then asked me to check my WhatsApp, where she had sent me the nude videos. She threatened to post them on social media and in groups.
Now, I’m terrified and confused. I’m scared my girlfriend will break up with me if she finds out. What do I do? How should I handle this situation?
