Be developmental
Gloria Batuta, an administrator at Smsone, says if she happens to get into a relationship, she will endeavour to be as developmental as possible. “My friends told me that men want women with great minds and developmental ideas but not just dependents for everything. They also want a woman who doesn’t entirely depend on him,” she says.
She hopes to achieve this by once in a while paying for their bills when they go out and advising him on how to spend money wisely rather than partying all the time. Batuta hopes that by doing this, the lucky man will never let her go.
Give him space
Though Diana Nkajuugo, a radio personality in Mbarara, is not searching, she advises whoever wants to find and keep a man in the new year to let him have his privacy.
“Men are so secretive when it comes to certain issues such as phones, wallets and other stuff. Don’t be picky, give him some space and do not cross certain boundaries. Never check in his phone or wallets. If he gets to know about it, the relationship will definitely be over.”
Be yourself
Diane Mbabazi, a professional photographer, says women should drop the act and be yourself if you want to keep that man. She describes this as being natural.
“Use less hair products, don’t wear crazy make-up. You don’t have to wear makeup all the time lest he will never know the real you and may be scared off when he finally does,” she says.
She adds that men like to see you smart but they prefer that you be smart in your natural look. Unless you are going out, a simple lip balm is enough. After all, is not a relief for your skin to also be free?
Attend social functions
Sometimes you may have to get out of your comfort zone and spread your wings. Go out and socialise, who knows, your prince charming could be out there waiting for you.
Tina Irabu, a businesswoman ,points out going out with friends and attending business meetings as some of the strategies that can help. But she quickly cautions that the places you visit will determine the kind of man you will get.
Sighting from her example, she says, “For instance, I am looking for someone funny, kind, straight forward, financially stable and hardworking so business trips are my target not village parties.”
After getting him, she advises that you take time to know his likes and dislikes and become friends with his friends. “No man wants to see a girl get rude to his friend. Just like we would stick up for our girlfriend, men too stick up for their male friend too. Besides, it is the friends to tell you more about him,” Irabu explains.
Go to church
Marcela Miji, a boutique owner in the city centre says places of worship such as churches and mosques can be good avenues for humble and down-to-earth men. She says men in such are places are more genuine because they do not only do things to please man but also their creator.
So, frequent such places this year. When she gets him, Miji says that she will be honest with him by telling him her past and future aspirations.
Appreciate his hobbies
Rather than criticise or discourage him from enjoying his hobbies such as football, Miji advises you accompany him to a football pitch or bar. “If he is a football fanatic, then I will go and watch a game with him. With this, he will appreciate the effort I am putting in and not resist a girl that takes a genuine interest in his hobbies,” she affirms.
Visit bars and dating sites
Evelyn Nandyose, a mobile money agent says her interest is to date a whiteman so next year, she will visit bars and similar hangouts where they hang out.
