Jamaica-Star.com: I Want To Forget Him
|
I
am a 19-year-old female living in London. I have
lived in London all my life. On my 18th birthday,
I met a Jamaican guy on the bus. We exchanged
numbers and started having conversations over
the phone.
He asked me to come over for a drink at his flat.
At first I refused, but the third time he asked,
I decided to go. One thing led to another and
we had sexual intercourse.
The second time I went to visit him, he told
me that he lied about his age; he wasn't 22 but
actually 26 years old. I told him I don't want
a relationship with someone his age
What
do you think Tell Me Pastor had to say.
