I can’t do it. Let me tell you something that will blow your mind. Would you believe if I tell you that I have a friend who once encouraged her friend to date her boyfriend? It might sound crazy but it’s the crazy truth. Her boyfriend had a silent crush on her friend and she knew it. The unbelievable part was that she asked her friend to go out with the guy.

The guy in question was financially loaded and for some unfathomable reasons, she wanted her friend to have a share of the ‘national cake.’ She even gave her pal a two-month duration. Isn’t that bizarre? As for me, I can’t do it o. If you’re asking me to allow my sweetheart accompany my friend to a party, that’ll be understandable but swapping; never!

To give my man to my friend in exchange for hers? No I can’t. No matter what happens, I can’t exchange my sweetheart with any man out there. It’s most likely I won’t like the guy because of the circumstance. I can’t even give such an idea a try, even if the guy has all the money in the world. I can’t do it and I won’t. How can anyone in his/her right mind expect me to swap my guy even if it’s for a while?

Bukola Adekanbi
I can because I strongly believe there’s joy in sharing. I love my friend and I can do anything for her. I can even give my life for her. As long as she doesn’t mind, I’m cool.

Toke Ademola
No! It’s not possible. How do you expect me to do something like that? I can’t agree to such an arrangement. If I’m dating a guy, I try and ensure that we’re both committed and faithful to each other. If such a thing is happening and I find out, that’s the end of the relationship. I can’t do it for any duration. Not even for a second. It doesn’t mean that I’m selfish but I don’t share such things. I can’t date a guy I’m not interested in and once I’m interested in him, I can’t give room for sharing or swapping. How can I claim to love a guy and let my friend date or even go as far as having sex with him. If my friend proposes such an idea to me, I’ll shun her and let her know I can’t do it. It’s also important that I keep that kind of friend at arms length because she has proven herself to be the dangerous type.

Christiana Onafujabi
No, I can’t do such a thing. If I ever agree to swap my guy with my best friend, it clearly shows that I don’t love the guy in question. That’s the only logical explanation behind my readiness to want to swap him with another woman. If I’m confronted with such a crazy proposition, I’ll find a way of refusing it outright.

Olaide Onipede
I can never agree to such an arrangement. Look, I’m stingy when it comes to issues like that and I’m not ready to share. When did my sweetheart become coconut chips that I share with my friends? For those who do it, it’s their lives and they can do whatever they like with it. I can’t do it not even for a single day.

Moji Lamidi
I can’t o. No way. How can I share my guy with my friend. Even if I don’t really love him, I still can’t do it. I know quite a number of ladies out there won’t mind doing it, but as for me, never!

Bukky Okikiade
No o. I can’t. What belongs to me belongs to me alone and is not to be shared or swapped. Don’t let me deceive you; it can’t be possible; not even for half a second. What if one of us gets emotionally carried away along the line and refuses to let go?

Shade Oyesanya
There’s no way I’ll allow that happen because I love my sweetheart and I’m ok with him. It doesn’t make sense to me. Swapping in such a situation strikes me as one of the craziest ideas of the century. I’m certain that most of those who do it do it for the fun of it. As for me, I can’t. It’s not a normal thing to do at all. I can’t share my man with any woman. It’s unthinkable and utterly preposterous.

Tima Oyenuga
I can’t do it. It’s not in my nature to do something like that. It’s very wrong. The only weird scenario that can warrant a ridiculous thing like swapping is if I’m not dating the guy anymore. As long as we’re still together, no way! The second situation that could let it crop up is if I’m not aware of it. I try not to keep such caliber of friends. How can you claim to be my friend and still nurse the desire to sleep with my man? The third way my guy can be making love to my friend is if I’m out of the country and they’re both crazy enough to decide to have a ball. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think it’s good at all. It strikes me as a very senseless thing to indulge in.
