Is It Right To Be 12 Years Older Than Someone You Intend To Marry? by MightyFortress: 1:15pm On Sep 15, 2013
When I'll be 30, she'll be 18. I'd like to marry her. Do you guys think that will be right? I need advice pls.

i bet u she's probably not prepared for
marriage and besides, at that age, most girls
dont know what they really want...

Read my post before you start hurling insults. And I dont fancy 65 year old sugar mommies, like you do. I'm nt 30 yet and I aint touched her. Yet it doesnt prevent me 4rm desiring her.

Thanks man. All these ranting posters.. Na wa oh. By 18, is she still a child? And by 18, dis gal wud be in 200 level, sponsored by sum1 obvious. At least, let me grab her b4 she tastes d wrong tins in life and guys like u would have bleeped all the juice out of her. At 18, i'll be the one to teach her most of what i need her to know and i'l be doing it as a loving, faithful and doting husband. We've know each oda for 7 years and i knw sumtin good when i see it. Though I've nt made my intentions known to her. I still take her as a kid sister, no emotions btw us yet.

@op.

If she has a thing for you...which is strong. Then you are surely covered, I know where I reside some girls who desires more matured men close to 40 yrs......so yours is not an exception. If she doesn't feel at all, and she doesn't care about the age bracket...gbam, God you are good to go man.

1. How old is she now?
2. Forget that she doesn't know anything part, you'll be surprised at what some people her age know.
3. Truth remains that 'NO 18 YEAR OLD IS READY FOR MARRIAGE'. Those that do it are pressured into it by circumstances, it doesn't mean they're ready for it. Leave the lady alone, if at all you need her so badly, start with a relationship first, if after 2 years you're still going strong (she'll be 20 by then, you can pop the question). At least, she might have a lil bit of ray of assurance that she wants to be with you and know what she really wants then.

The age difference is not that much of a big deal, inasmuch as you don't see her as someone you'll be able to bully around and your maturity levels are at par. GOOD LUCK!

She's 16 now, She's a family friend and thats why i've know her for more dan 7 years. Infact, more than 10 years. I've known both her parents and all her siblings dat time. I started developing feelings for her recently and she's in SS2 now. I am not yet 30 now.
Re: Is It Right To Be 12 Years Older Than Someone You Intend To Marry? by Nobody: 10:43pm On Sep 16, 2013
@16, you don't even know her sef. Infact, she doesn't even know herself.
My own stand is that the age difference shouldn't be the issue, her age is the issue. Chill for her, let her grow up and decide what she wants! Don't take advantage of her.

It aint wrong, ok? I dont feel no wrong. I'm just asking about experiences from those who've been there. Finally, I visit her family regularly so I always meet her. She treats me like an elder bro and i respect myself.

As I no come send the mature ones, nko? At least I have the decency to wait till she hits 20 or 22, without minding I'll be 32 or 34 by then. I'm talking of the 12 year old gap between us and not our ages wheneva we decide to get hooked. Pick the bone of underage marriage with Senator Yerima, not me. Or would you prefer I go for Rita Dominic? She's matured enough, abi? Or Tonto Dike?

Oga Op u berra find a mature lady that will atleast correlate with ur age. From calculation, you're already 28yrs, she's 16 and SS2, how do u know she will even accept your proposal?

By 18 she will be sitting for JAMB and how do you know she will gain admsn on d first attempt? And if she did, she's likely to graduate by say 23yrs and by then you will be 35yr. Haba!
That is just if things went with my imagination, but if it doesn't, guy u go reach 40 waiting for her if she's determine to graduate b4 marriage, and by then u will be an oldest brother to her. Infact, she's probably going to find someone within the same age bracket with her.
Lest i forget, never mistake her endurance for hospitality. A Nairalander Signature!

People never completely self actualize.we spend our entire lives figuring out who we are. The older we get we dont change mentally, emotionally, morals, or direction in life as fast as when were younger. I would say if you can wait almost 2 years for then be willing to wait at least 4-5 years aftet that for her.
I can think of a million reasons why or how this could go wrong and only one how it could go right. Your chances of it being all your thinking it will be is one to a million.
Give her time to grow as a person learn as a woman and experience as a human if its meant to be it will be.
