File photo of a worried woman
Dear GhanaWeb,
I got a job last year with a cleaning agency, which I took as a part-time role. I’m a graduate and just turned 25 this month.
I needed to do something to support myself for the time being, so I decided to start cleaning.
We typically work in groups of four for bigger jobs, like cleaning offices or plazas. For home cleaning, one person is assigned per job.
One morning, I was assigned to clean the house of a man who seemed to have a lot of money.
He is attractive and probably in his mid-50s. I didn’t think I’d be attracted to older men, but maybe it was his thick beard, always neatly trimmed, that caught my attention.
I worked at his house for over two months, going there three times a week.
He is a free-spirited person, and we often had conversations. He asked about my life and my future plans. I told him my goals, and he said he would try to help because, in his words, “I’m too beautiful to be cleaning homes”.
One morning, I arrived early, and he was taking a shower, preparing for work. I decided to clean his bedroom first.
When he came out, wearing only a towel, I couldn’t help but stare at him. He noticed and came up to me, saying he could tell I was interested in him. He was very direct, and honestly, his boldness was a huge turn-on for me.
What happened next was unexpected. He was much more intimate than I anticipated, and it was a very different experience from what I’ve had with men my age.
He seemed to know exactly how to treat a woman, and I found it both exciting and new.
Since then, he has been very kind to me. He told me he didn’t feel comfortable with me continuing as a cleaner and offered to help set up a business for me.
While I don’t think he’s in love with me, I’ve developed strong feelings for him. I think I love him not just because of what happened between us, but also because of the person he is, how thoughtful, neat, and kind he’s been to me.
I want him to marry me, as he is not married yet. But I am unsure whether I should confess my feelings. I don’t know if he feels the same way, and I’m afraid of being rejected.
Should I tell him how I feel, or keep my emotions to myself? I don’t want to lose him. I need advice on what to do next.
