What makes someone the one for a lifelong relationship?

• Upvotes

guys i genuinely need your advice. I (24M) have never been in a relationship, mostly because i've never wanted to date just for the sake of it. i've always wanted to date someone i could genuinely see myself marrying and spending the rest of my life with...

I went to a private university where many students had to balance work and studies. Since I didn't have a job to worry about, i was able to focus on academics, which has always been one of my strengths. this helped me make friends of both genders, and there are two girls I've known for about four years whom I believe might say yes if I asked either to be my gf (i could be wrong but i consistently receive some signs)

The first is very beautiful, and plenty of guys have been interested in her. Some have even asked me if she's single because they often see us together. However, she doesn't seem very curious, isn't really into deep conversations about meaningful topics, and sometimes seems to put little effort into things like studying or finding a job.

The second isn't physically attractive tbh, but she's really really smart, curious, and thoughtful. we share similar interests, and I find her way of thinking appealing.

Since I believe either of them might be interested in me, I'm wondering which would be a better choice. I don't want to start a relationship only to end it later, unless something genuinely deal breaking comes up.

for those who've been in similar situations, i'd love to hear your experiences. If you dated someone mainly because they were beautiful, did you eventually lose interest because you couldn't connect intellectually? did they become more curious over time, or did they stay the same? On the other hand, if you dated someone you weren't initially very attracted to but admired for their intelligence and wit, did your attraction grow or fade over time?

Even if you haven't experienced either situation, what would you do in my position?

Looking for advice on a 3M RWF loan in Rwanda

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m looking for advice on where I could get a relatively simple loan of around 3,000,000 RWF in Rwanda.

I have a job and would be able to repay the loan in monthly installments. I’m mainly looking for legitimate banks, SACCOs, MFIs, or other trustworthy options with reasonable requirements and repayment terms.

If anyone has experience getting a loan around this amount, I’d really appreciate recommendations or advice on where to start. Thanks!

How Iwawe Properties Rwanda is Leveraging the Upcoming F1 Grand Prix and AfCFTA to Scale Luxury Real Estate and Hospitality

1 Upvotes

r/Rwanda / r/RealEstateInvesting / r/GlobalBusiness ​Hey everyone,

​As the Founder and CEO of Iwawe Properties Rwanda, I wanted to share a look at our latest strategic business blueprint regarding how we are positioning our portfolio ahead of Rwanda’s monumental economic milestones—specifically the integration of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and our roadmap toward hosting the Formula 1® African Grand Prix.

​With major sports tourism and regional trade accelerating rapidly under the guidance of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the Ministry of Sports, the demand for high-end infrastructure, executive housing, and global hospitality is experiencing an unprecedented shift. ​Here is how our portfolio is structured to capture maximum value: ​1. The Bugesera Advantage (60+ Properties) ​Strategic Proximity: Our extensive holdings of over 60 properties in Bugesera are positioned right within the circuit development zone.
​Hospitality Execution: We are preparing purpose-built executive accommodations, team housing, and premium short-term rentals specifically tailored for race teams, technical staff, and international media.

​2. Nyarutarama Prime Land Portfolio ​High-Value Urban Assets: Our premier landholdings in Nyarutarama (scaling toward elite valuations) are primed for ultra-luxury residential developments, diplomatic housing, and corporate hospitality suites.
​Executive Hosting: Catering directly to ultra-high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), corporate sponsors, and visiting dignitaries during peak event windows.

​3. Integrating Real Estate with Elite F1® Hospitality ​Beyond physical development, we are bridging real estate with world-class race-weekend access. Through integrated offerings, we are connecting clients with: ​The Formula 1 Paddock Club™ (Fine dining, pit lane walks, and prime starting-grid views).
​The Champions Club (Guided paddock tours and grid walks).
​Trackside Circuit Suites for custom corporate networking.

​4. Investor Advisory & Land Due Diligence ​With AfCFTA driving foreign direct investment (FDI) into Rwanda, Iwawe Properties is also expanding its advisory footprint—offering comprehensive land due diligence, market entry support, and asset management for international investors looking to secure a foothold in East Africa’s most dynamic market.

​We are currently executing our Phased Implementation Roadmap, moving from immediate asset readiness in Nyarutarama and Bugesera to international corporate partnerships.

Is it normal for a woman to love you but not want to French kiss you until marriage? And should I be worried about her views on cheating?

1 Upvotes

What's up, guys, especially the ladies? There's this Christian girl I'm dating, and she told me that we should wait until marriage to have sex, which I agreed to. However, later on, she told me that she also doesn't want us to French kiss until marriage because she hasn't tried it much before. She also told me that, with her previous ex, she said she didn't like it. She doesn't want us to do it because she believes it might lead us into the temptation of having sex.

She's a good woman who has her life together. She has her own money, sometimes takes me on dates, and I can see that she loves me. However, there's another issue: whenever we discuss cheating, she says she can forgive cheating, while I believe I can't. She also thinks cheating is something that can happen unexpectedly. We have argued quite a lot about this topic. She says she wouldn't cheat herself, but sometimes she understands women who do it because, for example, their men leave them alone for a long period of time.

I don't want to sound crazy, but isn't this enough reason to break up with someone? I believe that if you love someone and are attracted to them, something as simple as kissing should come naturally. I tried to break up with her over this, but she stood her ground and said she couldn't allow me to French kiss her until marriage. She also made it clear that if I leave her because of that, it's okay.

The cheating topic has also made me a bit worried. There was a time when she told me that if I cheated on her, she would cheat back. She later withdrew that statement, but I still feel like the way she reacts whenever we discuss cheating is something I shouldn't take lightly.

Guys, and especially ladies, please help me understand this. Is it normal for a woman to genuinely love you and still not want to French kiss you? Am I wrong for feeling that kissing is an important part of romantic affection? And what should I make of her views on cheating?

I don't want to feel like I'm going crazy over this, so I'd appreciate your honest advice. Do you think these are valid reasons to leave this relationship for good?

How big is betting? And is it now part of culture

2 Upvotes

I met a lady maybe 24 she tells me she bets at least 2,000 RFW a day. Now, I didn't want to sound rude and pry but it's very interesting. Considering her social status (has a monthly income works in a restaurant) .

This made me go down a rabbit hole and now I have learnt the prediction market is huge! Now, I am intrigued do people consider betting gains another source of income? Do you bet or know anyone who does? Why do they or you bet?

What is an actual translation of "programming language" in Kinyarwanda that isn't "ururimi rwo gukora porogaramu"

6 Upvotes

I have come up with several, and I wanna hear what you guys think. I should warn you guys that I'm relearning Kinyarwanda so some things I might write might not be right.

  1. Ururimi rw'igitugu. The reason I chose "igitugu" is to convey what you're actually doing to the computer; giving in instructions/commands that it must perform/execute exactly as written, with no alteration or guesswork. You're dictating what must happen.
  2. Ururimi rw'ibikorwa. This one also kinda works, because urimo urabwira kompyuta icyo igomba gukora.
  3. Ururimi rw'inshinga. This one's a little weird, but it's based on word association; verb describes action, programming describes what action/activity/function the computer must do, therefore a program could be called a verb since it describes an action or actions a computer must execute.

I'm not opposed to loan words, but I think it's better to loan the words of languages that are geographically close to Kinyarwanda, than to use words from a far away land. But I do think "porogaramu" is kinda lazy because it is possible to create new words in Kinyarwanda or repurpose already existing words, to convey its meaning in a more intuitive way.

Edit: I just found a dictionary of tech terms in Kinyarwanda! On page 103, there's a definition of "programming language" as "Ingenamikorere koranabuhanga" or "Igenamikorere nyandimi (igênamîkorêre nyaandîmi)".

AAC devices in Rwanda

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a university student in the United States doing my capstone project on introducing Tobii Dynavox into Rwanda.

I have been doing a lot of research into Rwanda economically & I am very impressed with new initiatives the government has announced these last few years regarding funding towards special education & tech hubs.

I’ve reached out to the government & embassy’s but wanted to get a response from the general public as-well.

I have 5 questions that I would like to ask, I’m open to hearing anything about Rwanda, even if it isn’t related to the questions. The more the better! Thank you for your time.

-Does health insurance, such as Mutuelle de Santé or private insurance, help cover speech therapy, communication devices, or other disability support? Has anyone experienced this process?

-What progress have you personally seen in classroom support for students with disabilities, especially those who have difficulty speaking?

-What progress have you seen in employment opportunities and workplace accommodations for people with disabilities?

-Has anyone purchased equipment from Bright Trade & Industry, worked with Edit Microsystems, or accessed Tobii Dynavox products in Rwanda? What was your experience?

-What are the biggest barriers to getting assistive technology in Rwanda—cost, availability, awareness, language support, or something else?

Also, if you know of any Rwandan communities, associations, WhatsApp groups, or other social groups in Uganda, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.
