Some people don't believe in dating. They believe you should just put the ring to it if you want them. I have met one of such girls. She's actually a wife material; 100 yards.

Remember some people broke up after dating for 7 Years and you can't fully know a woman even if you date her all your life, she fit still shock you.


What is your preference? Date or outright marriage?

Whatever works for you

Marriage without dating is invitation to doom.

If you must marry, marry someone who has the fear of God.

When love fails, and times are hard, the fear of God will keep the evil tendecies and human vice away.

This is the most hilarious post I've read this year .
Where person wan see a Nigerian girl that has the fear of God? Na God dey fear our Nigerian girls now

Use Nairaland girls as a case study.

yes!! U must date before you marry.

Just b a good moral person and go ahead and marry. All those nonsense dating is nothing but eventtual doom

I would prefer to date, have kids with who I am dating, but not marry.

After all said and done sha, nothing guarantees anything.

People can date for 15 years and break up weeks into a marriage..Some can just marry upon recommendation from friends and family without dating for even a day, and have a very enjoyable marriage..

For me, marriage these days is a gamble I am not willing to take, because I like to be solely responsible for my own happiness..

Presently, I am handsome, single, comfortable and very happy...and i would really like those set of circumstances to persist as long as I live..Nobody should use her reggae to come spoil my blues.

Dating first.

Know the person first for 6 months to a year before marriage. You call it anything you want, but do your KYC properly.

Anyone u like do wetin go last go last wetin no go last no go last....


What I know's we wake up with different mood everyday someone you've known for 10 years might wake up with a mood you don't understand and can't cope with all of a sudden...

Outright marriage with a God fearing woman, who dating help apart from hiding true character and nacking front and back.

Vote Peter Obi and have a good marriage.

This I have seen.

Before our time, we had women of pride. They were reserved with dignity and some sense of responsibility for their husbands only.
Nobody count.

They were well groomed, virgins,respectful, caring, less dramatic, loyal to the core and hard working. They were Mentally, sexually, emotionally, psychologically and morally intact. At most 21 years they are married.

Back in the days you don't need to date them before marrying them. Because they were pure and undiluted it was the responsibility of any fortunate or lucky man that marries them to dilute them. So when they are married they are married.

But today, what we have are boreholes, loose girls, runs girls, sex tools, slay queens, drama queens, sex for money, very irresponsible set of things. No dignity, no value, heavily dependent on you, no respect, disloyal and poorly groomed.. what we have now are morally, psychologically, emotionally and sexually battered women littering everywhere... body count na no go area.

They don't need to be rewarded with marriage. But if you must reward them with marriage, you must date them for a very long time to be able to know them inside and outside. Else you go cry later!

No wonder at 25yr - 30yr they are still I'm their parents houses causing problem[/b]s.

[b]Don't let anybody deceive you to marry a stranger. Na you go regret, no be your pastor or your adviser.

Never make the mistake.

You got to know each other through dating or courting before you make a life time commitment

Omo dating na him sure pass oo, a bad relationship is better than a horrible divorce when children are now involved

Even our ancestors that marry without dating have their family do due deligence and investigation on who they want their child to marry

Well, you cant readily spot those with the fear of God. We are all just acting.

Hmm

BabaCommander:

He should marry someone who has the fear of God but doesn't fear him as the husband ko

This matter is really simple: you should only make the decision to marry someone WHEN YOU ARE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THEM SUFFICIENTLY AND YOU ARE WELL-SATISFIED WITH THEIR PERSONALITY. And you should take as much time as possible to come to such understanding.
For someone like me, I find it quite easy to understand people's personality (except you're a professional pretender). So prolonged dating may not be that important in my case.

Date---Court---Marry.
No rush. Just step by step, before u marry wahala.

None

There is nothing wrong with dating its just dat Nigerian men n women had turned it into fornication.. i bet most of y'all don't know that u don't have to get intimate wen dating..
