Ladies, here are five ways to get your shot

Do you find yourself hiding behind walls or tables to avoid being asked when you're getting married? Or are you still asking, "God when?" by coming across photos of couples before the wedding? Then this article is for you.

We can all agree that a relationship is a great experience (when you're with the right person). However, sometimes it's hard to get into a relationship, not because you haven't found the right person, but because they take the time to pull it off, that is, to ask you to go out.

Invert the table by being the one who initiates the start of the relationship. Don't worry, and we know this is unconventional, so we've listed six creative ways to take your shot.

Ask for directions

This might be a pretty controversial take, but guys appreciate being needed. All you have to do is walk up to your crush or a random guy who, to some extent, matches your description of an ideal man. Once you're nearby, act like you have no idea and try to find your way back home or to another location. Chances are directions aren't the only thing he'd give you (his number, too!).

Go to church or mosque

Some men rely on religious centers as a selection criterion for choosing a romantic partner. This is mainly due to the idea that women possess certain attractive qualities. Find out which church or mosque he attends and start visiting the place regularly. Chances are your religious leader will ask you a question and notice you.

Go through his mother

Before dating apps, single people relied on Nigerian mothers for matchmaking. If you know, say, the mother of your crush, drop hints about your feelings. Trust Nigerian mothers not to keep quiet as they will continually suggest their sons to marry you.

We know that sounds extreme, but hear us out. You can run Facebook and Instagram ads with one of your top social media posts. Accompany such a message with a caption that strongly suggests that you are single without making you seem desperate. Select the demographic options that target him and pray he sees it.

To go out with friends

After family, the people closest to a man's heart are his brothers. A guy's relationships don't just appear out of thin air; they start somewhere, like a friend of his introducing him to a girl. Identify your crush's closest friend and befriend them. Cross your fingers, ready for the day an event puts you in touch.

Interact with their social media posts

The more you like and leave "interesting" comments under his messages, the more your existence passes under his radar. Don't be shocked when you get a DM from him asking for a dinner date.
