Valentine’s Day is 18 days away. While some people’s partners are currently looking for the perfect gifts or figuring out how to split their time equally between their main partner and their side piece, others are looking for ways to serve their baby a steaming hot plate of breakfast ahead of time. Here’s how to know if your partner falls into the latter category.

They haven’t asked you to be their Valentine yet

No, it’s not because they think it’s a no-brainer. That person has plans for you, and the plan is to break your heart on the eve of St. Valentine’s Day.

They’ve asked you to be their Valentine

Sure, they asked you, but the question came up at home, in bed, at three in the morning. Obviously, they only did it to buy time while they get ready to rip your heart out of your chest and drag it through the streets of Lagos.

You don’t live in the same state

They’re very aware that you both don’t live in the same state, country or continent, and yet, you haven’t heard them put plans in place to look upon your gorgeous face in person on the day of love and dibia red.

They like surprises

They’ve been going on and on about how they’ll surprise you on Valentine’s Day, the “with a heartbreak” is just silent.

They’ve started complaining about Nigeria’s economy

You might think they’re just doing this to avoid getting you a Valentine’s Day present. Well, yes, but they’re also about to use it as a reason to break up with you and “focus on themselves”.

They’ve taken you to see their parents

Believe it or not, they didn’t take you to show you off as the love of their life but to show them the person they’re incompatible with and would soon leave. If you like, don’t believe us.

They’ve gotten extra clingy

They’re just savouring the last few days of your relationship before they call everything off and go their separate way.
