How To Know The Nigerian Man You're Dating Is Not Ready For Marriage by 0hsisi: 7:10pm On Feb 16, 2010
This is an advice from a big sis to the younger girls so you don't waste your precious time with Mr wrong.
Remember that any further  date with the wrong man is a missed opportunity to meet the right one. wink
be wise my sisters and don't let these men play you.

1. First and foremost, if you've been going out with a guy you think will pop the question and weeks turn to months and more months and you've never met or spoken with his mother.
You are not the one.
Start shopping around for a more serious person
yes you heard me
cast your net into the deep and see what else is out there because he is doing just that. He has you tied down while looking for a more eligible marriage material.
Re: How To Know The Nigerian Man You're Dating Is Not Ready For Marriage by 0hsisi: 7:18pm On Feb 16, 2010
2. He doesn't return your calls and comes up wth such lines as
"I forgot my phone at home"
"I forgot my phone in the car"
"I misplaced my phone"

My dear sisters, the man has moved on,he's not feeling you anymore and doesn't know how to break the news.
You need to move on too.

He says all the right things and gets you the gifts as and when required but never ever gets that ring to seal the deal, you ought to re-evaluate the relationship.
Mr nice may just be mr playa.
Mr smooth operator
Flee as fast as you can while you still have viable eggs in your ovaries.
Re: How To Know The Nigerian Man You're Dating Is Not Ready For Marriage by chika98: 7:22pm On Feb 16, 2010
We all know that. grin Never met his friends, family or you guys never go out to where people know him then you aren't a serious chic to him
Re: How To Know The Nigerian Man You're Dating Is Not Ready For Marriage by 0hsisi: 7:24pm On Feb 16, 2010
4.

He has you playing house already
doing his cooking, laundry, errands but no one in his immediate family knows who you are.
You've never been to his family functions,hmm time to think.
If indeed you want marriage and all you are is a maid service with bed privileges, that may be all you're worth to him.

I think number 1 is the frankest truth.  grin
Only a potential can meet my mother, the rest will just have to put up with excuses.

why do women have a problem understanding #2? grin If you call me twice, leave text messages and a voice mail with no response within 1 hr pls hit the road. There is NO WAY i will ignore calls from someone i deeply care for.

My dear it is true
I am speaking from the experience of a host of friends and stories upon stories.
Some men can be heartless and some women stoopid.
How can a girl date a man for 5,7,10 years and no show.
Is she brainless?
a man will tie down a 24 year old girl  at the prime of her life for 10 years.
when all is said and done,she is a 34 year old bitter woman and he'll tell her she's too old for him to marry perhaps after some abortions etc.

The thing is he'll date her for years then wife a chic he met in Florida when he went there for a vacation. When a man meets that one girl he wants to be with he is excited about it and doesn't waste time. All that I must date you for so and so years is crap!

Then he will have her meet whomever he sees as a mother figure in his life. If he's father is alive or if not his elder siblings that he looks up to and respect. A chic should know what time it is when these things never happen

Marriage is not over-rated, you only feel that way because you have been on the short end of the stick when it comes to men seriously willing to take you down that path.

Yes but it can be done

some will even get pikins with their fiancee

That having children bit I don't agree with. Children shouldn't be the driving force for a man to marry you. That is why women should get with like minded men. If a guy says he isn't ready for something serious till 4-5years from now then take his word for it and take a hike! Don't sit around thinking you'll change him because you're so awesome; I call that delusions for a deluded soul. Move forward and find someone who is truly looking for something serious

Are you following my argument?
what is a fiancee/fiance?
when a man places a ring on your finger asks "will you marry me"? we assume he intends to marry you abi?
so why move in and procreate babies with a fiance?
why not marry than play house
that is my point.

Reminds me of someone i know here . . . smart dude keeps a gf (been dating for 7yrs) in NYC while another idiot spends all her time fantasising about him here. She must have spent over $1500 on him so far and they just met about a month ago. Well turns out none of us is complaining, the silly chic cooked for all of us for the week and just asked that we send her a list of food we'd want for next week. We're compiling the list already . . . no harm in milking a brainless woman dry until she learns her lesson.  cheesy
