Dating in the Pre-Mobile Phones Era, How Did You Guys Manage?

Nowadays you meet a lady, you approach her, talk to her, get her number and call her to organise more dates and Pray and Worship seasons. @Kasighau klost alikuwa anasema identify-Approach-Isolate-Convince-Climb
Lakini for the old guys, how did you guys manage it back in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s? Assuming you stayed in Buru, go to town one day and meet a lady who stays in Langata or Dagoretti. You like her and she likes you, talk to her then it gets to the point where everyone has to go back to wherever they are from, How did you organise subsequent dates/meetings? ama you only dated those from surrounding estate?

Phone booth pia zina number.

There were phone booths in every estate, and the post office.

So, if you met a girl you liked, you took the number of the nearest public phone booth to her, and her post office number.

Unapiga number ya hiyo booth a week later and anybody who picks unamwabia “please go to house number 124 uambie msichana anaitwa Rose angoje simu saa nane.”

Baba yake ana-come unadrop that receiver kama bomb…unakimbia kilomita tatu before you remember uko Thika na ulikuwa unapiga Buruu…

Post office was your friend !

Hehehe. There was a common meeting point under the city clock hapo Kencom. That, ama office line yako ama ya a friend to relay messages. Phonebooths were the first port of call

we never used to ask a chic where she lived. we could tell by the prefix of the phone number you were given
44 was lavington…88 was karen if i remember correctly… 86 garden estate…55/56 was south c?

Sunday dates pale Kenya Cinema… na kama no ushago after church service.

Back then, people were honorable. You could arrange to meet someone at Njogu-ini on 27-11-2017 at 11am, and as sure as the sun rises, the person would be there at 10.45. That is unlike today we will agree to meet at 3.30pm then at 4.33pm you call to say you are held up.

mnapatana unamuuliza anaishi wapi. Tena watu hawakuwa wengi na sio wa kuhamahama so akikwambia anaishi karibu kwa kamande yule wa mitura chances were kamande anamjua so ukifika hapo Kamande anakushow mrembo wako ni wa aina gani na zile nugu zote zimemkura

Posta Stage, Mombasani used to be a popular meeting place. Landlines were also a lot of help.

But I would say mostly you would date a chick from your estate or mtaa, you would plan your subsequent date on the current one.

The most important person was her best female pal, she could assist in ‘getting her’ like if you want to talk to her anaenda kwao home and she gets her outside! we used to call such chicks ‘Piki Posta’ :D:D:D

Early 2000’s, had this chic in college, but then we cleared and each went his/her way. She gave me number ya booth which was just outside a kinyozi in her home town. I would call and tell the kinyozi to send someone to her home (which was a distance) and i will call after an hour. And true to form, the first ring and her sweet voice answered! Life was sweeeet! These days old guys like me get a bit confused coz you meet a girl today and tommorow she’s sending you nudes!

Hehehehehe :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

nudes are life

hehehe Guilty hapa kwa lateness, funny how my girl always keeps time…

Makes one think the girl is loose. Our days, before you get to touch the boobs utakakaa. And when she would come over to your cubicle, you had to peel off layers upon layers of clothes before ufikie the cookie.

uliorganise aje hii meeting ya Sunday? ama at the end of everydate mngekubaliana next Sunday tukutane hapa?

Had a special whistle between me and my baby. When she heard it, she knew her niccur was in the area. Drama was when the mother finally decoded my whistle. Went near their place and whistled. Mama opened the window and was like " wewe kijana nitakuvunja mgongo. Unataka kufanya nani nyanya. Shenzi!. I ran!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Hehehehe Saitan.

You had to keep your word.
As an intern I used to call on the office landline every Saturday at 2.00pm.
Kama hayuko ni mpaka next week.

hivi ndio nudes zilikua zinatumwa[ATTACH=full]103057[/ATTACH]
