'Singles should stop playing games'

Co-founder of Singles Connect, Mr. Bode Akinwande, has advised singles
to desist from playing games.

Of course, the games that Akinwande has in mind is neither football
nor table tennis. Rather, he wants them to steer clear of casual
romance games that many singles are particularly fond of playing.

The Singles Connect boss made the call in Lagos on Saturday when the
group held an interaction with singles - amid comedy, talk show and
networking.

At the event held at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, he said
integrity and trust were important ingredients for lasting
relationships.

Singles Connect prides itself as a unique, decent and endearing forum
established with an aim to promote executive/working class and mature
singles from age of 28years and above with a better way of connecting
and building lasting relationships.

At the event tagged "No More Games, the host said, "Integrity is vital
to building a healthy and lasting relationship. A lot of relationships
have ended due to perpetual lying by either of the partners or both of
them, thereby tampering and eliminating trust, which is one of the
bedrocks of a relationship."

Noting that sincerity boosted the lifespan of a relationship, he said
it was by observing the principles they could attract partners they so
desired.

Akinwande added, "We believe at Singles Connect that within six months
to two years, the parties should know much about themselves before it
can lead to marriage. But we also know that courtships should not be
too short so that people can know more their partners before they give
the final commitment."
