Is This The Right Time To Go Into Marriage? by Pricelessangel0(f): 5:52pm On Apr 24, 2018
I met this guy 4yrs ago bt we were just friends, he has been hitting on me but i didnt give him face until recently(last yr) and we started dating this feb, but my problem is since we started dating he has been talking about marriage and he want me to move in with him because am in Lagos and he's in Abuja and i told him am nt ready to co-habit with any guy b4 marriage so he's now looking 4 alternative like lets do introduction and i will move in with so as after 3mths he will pay my dowry b4 we start planning of Tm/wedding bt the problem is i feel as if i dont know him enough and i cant even say i love him or not and as if am nt also ready because am scared of marriage and that its as if i cant find my inner self so its seem as if am lost somewhere{i haven't discover my inner passion}, and i dnt even hv a stable work bt he does and i told him but he says there is no p that hes ok wit it, that i will be fine with time bt i know that marriage has its own phase,

Lol why don't you women grab msges like this fast. Introduction is not marriage sis. This is exactly d reason why guys are pushed to lie or decieve girls. You see the truth, yet can't recognise it.

If you think deeply abt it, he likes you, he wants you to be intimate with him but he's going about it in the most respectful way without making a marriage promise that he might not be able to keep. He knows ur religious standard of not cohabiting with who u can't marry so he has to talk about introduction.

I'll advice that since you know he wants a sexy romantic stuff with you but no marriage, and he has d financial strength to harbour you, just flow along and chop his money too. I know u too want this thing and u have respectful grounds already...he's not just willing to pay u like a prostitute and dump you but with some level of respect. I think he's tried. Don't let him promise marriage cus u would be disappointed.

Don't even let him do d introduction yet so that ur people won't be wondering later why both of you aren't together anymore. But is good that u made him say so. At least now to him you're not a cheap slut. And if the going gets well with both of you, you can get engaged and do d intro.

Cohabiate and perform all wifey duties without the ring that's the disadvantage for You, however on the flip side a man usually feels the need to cohabitate because he can never know a woman truky until they are together day and night thats a disadvantage for him too. So .............

Dear run for your life, if he is ready for marriage he should come and pay your bride price and other things, don't cohabit with him, he will only use you. Imagine relocating from Lagos to Abuja just go and cohabit with a guy. He just need a baby mama simple.

There is never a "right time" to do anything. Your time starts the moment you decide to respond to the call of nature.

Nature (God) gave you a womb for a reason. He gave you boobs for a reason. Nope, emotions are not meant for running your business, emotions are for loving and caring for the right people. It is not about age, but your response to the call of nature. You probably won't see the need to get married until you start realizing that your boobs aren't meant for Instagram or Mark Zuckerberg.

You have to love the whole concept of marriage before discussing marriage with a man. Don't wait for a single like you (your boyfriend) to make you appreciate marriage. Marriage starts with you, not him. Marriage, for me, isn't all about two people loving each other, it is about two people that completely love and understand the idea of marriage.

You are obviously not ready for marriage.Don't force yourself into any introduction just yet.

I wouldn't advise you move in with him for any reason.You will lose at the end.Let him marry you properly before you move in with him.

He should make the sacrifice of coming to Lagos during public holidays or weekends.You can also visit him.

You should work on developing yourself,getting a job or doing some business.Try to be financially independent.

How old are u? I'm guessing 24 or less. Probably your first real boyfriend? Hit or miss?

You're not ready for this relationship. If you're not comfortable with this guy then let him go. Don't let him or anyone else bamboozle you into doing what you don't want to do. When you're ready for a committed relationship with the right guy you will know.

P. S just because a guy is well behaved or promising you marriage doesn't mean he is the one for you. You left him as a friend for 4 years before taking an interest in him. It's obvious you don't like him like that.

Yeap! That's the problem because he always backed out at the last minute arrangement, it happened last dec when we have not even start dating and also this easter all with the excuse if am coming i should come with all my load and abandone the one i cant, and when i said i cant do it, he tells me thats what he want if i cant do it 4 now maybe i will change my mind if he gives me enough reasons that he's real and that was how the issue of introduction came in. Sometimes i feel as if he doesnt want the best 4 me cos i just rented a place and he is asking me to forfeit the money or ask 4 refund.

DNT fall for it he needs a baby mama n once dt happens he will never complete marital rites.

D easiest way to marry a woman at almost free is to get her pregnant and convince her to deliver d child.

A good man who is serious to marry you will complete all marital rites plus white wedding B4 asking you to move in, at 24 u r still young DNT cheapen urself

From all your replies on your thread,it is obvious the relationship is not moving a pace you want.
Don't let anyone force you into marriage.

You say it is a 'no sex before marriage' relationship?Then stick with that if that is what you want.
It doesn't have to be him you marry.Meanwhile,tell him to make more sacrifices by visiting Lagos so you two can get to see more.
You just paid for rent?Then try to get a job or business and work on improving yourself.Marriage will come at the right time.

After 4 years? Obviously you never liked him "that way", so there's no need being in a relationship with him in the first place, talk less of cohabiting with him. Double WAHALA

Be careful with the dude. I don't think you have any business with the guy even if he promised marriage to you. Do not be equally yoked with unbelievers. Your boyfriend is not ready for marriage but he's ready for s*x!
