This is because she looked too successful in life, making him believe she was way above his league.
His worries were informed by the fact that Zippy is a published author and seasoned filmmaker, being the brains behind the popular film Otis Janam.
“The mistake most men make, including myself, is forgetting that even the most accomplished women still desire to be loved, regardless of how high they are in society.”

Webston's first attempt at wooing Zippy
His first attempt came in February when he sent her a birthday message in her inbox, but it went unanswered.
The breakthrough arrived months later when Dr Zippy posted a video of herself on a motorbike and jokingly asked for a link to a man with a bike.
Sensing an opportunity, Kimani made a public post tagging her, boldly declaring himself as the “boyfriend with the motorbike” she was looking for.
The playful declaration quickly went viral, sparking an online buzz. Soon after, Dr Zippy reached out to him directly with a surprising proposal:
“She inboxed me and said we should meet up and make the internet happy,” Kimani said. Their first phone conversation lasted over 40 minutes, revealing an instant and easy connection.
Webston and Zippy's first date
Fans, excited by their budding romance, even pitched in to gift Dr Zippy proper riding gear.
Their first official date took them to Sironga, where they got lost in the moment; literally and figuratively.
Since then, the duo has treated Kenyans on social media to sumptuous photos from the whirlwind dates,
From showering in a river to having lunch in a cafe suspended in the air, their story has left many wondering whether it is clout or real love.

What's the age difference between Zippy and Webston?
The cream of their tale came when the YouTuber rode from Nairobi to Kisumu to grace her play, Foolish Forties.
Despite a 10-year age gap, Kimani says it’s the mutual respect that keeps their relationship thriving.
“The age difference doesn’t bother me as long as there’s respect,” he said with a smile.
What began as a playful social media exchange has blossomed into a real-life love story, proving that sometimes, all it takes is courage, timing, and a bit of internet magic to bridge the gap between admiration and romance.
