Hello guys and babes, am here again but unsure undecided... my employees, two females want to matchmake me with, one her elder brother who is single and wants a good wife and the other her uncle whose wife died after one yr of marriage through natural causes and he has been wary of women... they introduced them to me , on different occassions in the guise of consulting. Then later, they both came to me differently that their brother and uncle like me and will i please think abt dating them. the two of them do not know they asking me of the same request. Although, I like the uncle of the 2nd one, but is it ok? undecided

you must have been of good character for them to recommend you for their relatives, that's good for you.
what if you get to know the two of them better may be by being friends before you can say yes to either of them?

@ beync, without blowing my trumpet, i can be too good to be true..but am shy...as if i cant make right choices in guys that come to me...hmmm, i even told the 2nd lady that i hope she wont laugh at me , that av fallen for her uncle if we start dating and i agree to marry him. She just shook her head and said, nope with a straightface, that its life, for such things like this to happen...i intend seeing them this week, separately as friends, ask them questions and see how it goes..
please wish me luck...cos i need it, phew!

Re: Am Being Match-maked, Is It A Good Idea? by djojo(m): 10:53pm On Oct 13, 2012
@OP Ŋo̶̷̩̥̊͡ big deal abt it but U̶̲̥̅̊ av to make thorough research abt both of them before making U̶̲̥̅̊® decision
I did it for my uncle and it work out well, only that he never wait to tight the knock before he passed away
Re: Am Being Match-maked, Is It A Good Idea? by Nobody: 10:59pm On Oct 13, 2012
Very very wrong!
Re: Am Being Match-maked, Is It A Good Idea? by Nobody: 11:30pm On Oct 13, 2012
victorian: run speed?..pls how?

Your optimism is commendable. However, it may be your undoing. How can you be thinking of marriage with someone you barely know?

Take one step at a time. Acquaintance ==> Friendship ==> Dating ==> Marriage. I believe you'd think more clearly following a well defined pattern.

congratulations..
but again me thinks you aught to take it real slow
the part about the straight face got me really worried cos that to me, was meant to deceive, its not a normal respond from one that is match-making
when it appears to be working.I you ought to be particularly watchful cos since these match -makers work for you they probably know or have an idea of your money situation.
My question then is , what's in it for them ?

Again good for you but handle this the way you handle your business.
all the very best.

@Op, how old are you?
Re: Am Being Match-maked, Is It A Good Idea? by Exclibur(m): 6:52am On Nov 17, 2012
OP, y°u must be of gud character for 2 of Yøur workmates to be trying to matchmake y°u wit people close to them so kudos to y°u.
My advice is get to know them first. Don't rush and don't put it in Yøur mind that it must end up in marriage. Above all else, pray to God for leading and direction cuz marriage isn't child's play. I wish y°u the very best.

My dear there is nothing wrong with it at all.. There are different ways we are meant to meet the ones we will eventually spend the rest of our lives with. There is no special route or place or wherever and however we are meant to meet live partners. You should be glad. The fact that these gurls are wanting to hook you up with their family members means alot to your reputation and it means they know you to be the perfect type for their sibling or whoever. Actaully we all have flaws so its accepted when you say you aint really as perfect as one may think. Anywayz, try as much as you can to get to know them in-toto (that is individually) and choose wisely.. Wish you all the best...
