NO, not because your girl isnt worth it, not because you dont really need to see her, but because its called savings for a reason, not take my girl holiday funds! Save your money for something IMPORTANT, its rich men that fly thier gf's all over the world, you and her can skype!

Mr Black:

Hello Nairalander's,

I am about to take a decision and would really appreciate your candid opinions on this Issue. I am a young man who happens to be a student, but work during the holidays. I have a girlfriend based in the US whom i have been dating for 5 years. She has only resided in the US for 1 1/2 years and intends to come visit but cannot afford to buy her air fare ticket.

I was able to save some money from my last vacation job and if i have to get her air ticket, then i will be left with only 25% of my savings which will still be spent upon her arrival and stay with me. I am not too comfortable with the long period we have stayed apart and believe this is an opportunity for us to define our relationship. I do intend to ENGAGE her when she arrives and then plan for marriage towards the end of next year when i must have graduated from school.

Now the Question is, if you were in my shoes, would you spend almost all of your savings for your girlfriend? And if you must know i really care about her and love her a lot. Keep your honest comments coming.

Pay for the fare. . . . . .God loves a cheerful giver. cheesy

Explain the situation of things to her . . . i'm tired of this "girlfriend" syndrome where women expect to be mollycoddled money-wise by their men sorry boys. There shld be room for 2 adults to discuss their financial status BEFORE taking on expensive junkets like this. He intends to engage her . . . has he bought the engagement ring? Has he met her family? Has he put away anything  towards a marriage for next yr or he thinks money will fall from the roof from a guaranteed job in nigeria?

What is she doing NOT doing a vacation job instead of hopping to naija for a 3 month idle stay?

Where are her parents? Are they aware she is travelling 2000 miles to nigeria to stay with an unmarried boyfriend? What did she tell them was the source of her money for the trip?

Errr David, you seem not to be getting the true situation here!

He offered to do it, I can't see where he said the girl aksed him to. Infact just to accomodate him, she volunteerd to give up the time she would have used to work and earn somthing for herself . .

He probably asked her to come and she said she couln't afford it and he said not to worry he could. Only for him to run to NL and declare his assets to us, expecting us to tell him not to do it!

The issue here is not if she's supposed to be travelling that distance or not, I bet she's old enough to make such decisions herself.

TBH, it's kinda awkward for any guy to expect a babe to pay for his fare. . . .
However, i see nothing wrong in a man paying for a babe to FLY in.
Whatz the big deal? How much is the ticket sef?

@ Poster
you need to ask yourself if it is money you can afford to lose without lookn back. This has ntn to do with the state of ur relationship infact u both might be perfect for eachother but there's always that possibility that things dnt wrk out down the line n in that situation wld u regret spendn that much of ur savings to see her? if u must see her it is better u go over to where she is.

Also u say u want to define ur relationship after 5 yrs that perhaps indicates ur relationship is nt as secure as it shld b + increases the possibility that she might end up telling u wat u might nt want to hear.
Personally i wldnt advise u to pay for the ticket.

yeap no biggie for a guy paying a babes fare and vice-vica
but the fact is the guy in question gat no cash
if he spends 75% of his saved cash on a flight ticket that means he gat little or nothing
but if he wants to the ball is in his court undecided

I changed ma mind. . . .I want to pay your fare to come see me.

Guy, If i were U, i just give it up to that expensive and high standard relationship, how can u use 75% of ur salary on a girl who is far from US, I cant imagine dis, If but of u are residing the same, then, i can manage that.
Note, b4 telling her that u wanted to engaged her, try preview it on ur phone conversation to know her action, but sending money to us for a air ticket i never will do that. If she is in true love with u, she can done that by working hard in US to actualize that, not u from Nigeria sending the money. From xperience as in smone that resides away from home,

I will rather give 100% of my savings to real beggars at places like Oshodi than to give to a manipulative girlfriend, who would called you a "mumu" in your absence.

No, try not to see her today so she could be in your arms forever,
Just use that money on somfin that would bring more cash, a profitable business and withing a year you would have made 4times of that ur present savings, i know how u feel, just chill, and tell her what your plans are, am sure she would appreciate it if she's truly meant to be your wife thou

Your Question: Should I use my Head or my Emotion ? Well, many intellectuals have spoken. If you forget all remember the simple CMM formula given by Basildon1 for a real man - Carrier,Money then Marriage.

Please I wouldn't like to see ''Had I Known'' post from you on this forum in the future.
