Ally! Hold up, did u say some other guys are proposing marriage to you? How could you consider that a serious proposal if u've never dated these guys? According to you, u've been with ur present boyfriend for 15 months. For me, if you talk about marriage after 15 months, I'll run. Basically because I'm not ready and the girls that I date know not to expect anything serious from our relationships. Only you will know how ready for you this guy is.
A yoruba adage says "A pregnant woman knows what she will name her child before she bears it" Your best bet is to take to @dipotepede's advice.
"Ade, I am a woman and women have limitations like menopause, because of this I want to get married early albeit I love you so much and I am willing to wait for whatever reason. But we must come to an agreement when you want to get married so I can know how long to wait. It will hurt me a lot if you say no but I will understand and move on."

Girls are just funny. The guy is just your boyfriend and you are thinking about marriage.
You have to engage, ( become the financier). i have friends that have being dating for over
6 years and they are not yet married. Well check the guys pocket before you talk about marriage.
If he is na Igbo guy, has he got the millions to pay your bride price. Abi to marry na free.
No mind me, some people feel marry 1 week after they meet. best of luck.
I support you. Ask the guy or bring to Nairaland make we ask am for you.

Uche O gini na eme gi. Why you dey cause me. In our tradition, you do not course a chief.
I will deal with you when we get back to the village for opening your a$$ in the market place.
But you know what I mean, you can't take a girl home when you calculate the indices of getting married.
We want to be made before we marry, am sure if you are suffering or struggling to feed, will you go and marry. Considering that the girls of these want to spend all you have ever worked for on their wedding and talk of the town traditional marriage.
i think I have talked too much.
Uchenna agamu e me gi ife! Alu

According to you, u've been with your present boyfriend for 15 months. That question remains unanswered Hey it's the African way of lifeor one of them at least. 'Dating' isn't embedded in our culture so dudes don't feel bad poaching gfs to 'take' as wives. With this in mind, when a man proposes to you, you can still consider his words "serious" b/c you know his mindset/p.o.v on the whole 'dating' issue. Ever read The Sun? Half the men in there say they proposed to their wife w/ half a dozen other men at bay. That's my take, but I'll wait for Ally to respond for herself. |

Having known this chap for 15 months, u should know his attitude towards marriage, what he wants from life,where he wants to be financially and career- wise.

i don't think 15months is such a long time (i read sumtin like this in sunday punch 10th sept).some people have stayed longer than that and the guy has not said anything bout marraige.
probably he is shy to say it.
probably he doesnt have the money to think bout marriage yet. (he doesnt have a house,car ) most girls go for guys because of that
he might be watching you.
you can ask him tactfully just like seun and others adviced.
but please be patient with him,he just needs time

hmm the "M" word. well its so natural for guys to be scared of committment all u just need is a little understanding. just ask the guy politely when he would like to settle down. don't try and force it on him cause that might scare him off. i know u have limited time but everything comes with patience  |

Here we go again!!! Did anyone even ask Ally her age una just deh open mouth anyhow  she might be less than 25 and be desperate to get married due to peer pressure or she may be above 30. We don't really know. Getting married is not really the issue but staying married like someone said earlier. Did you say 15 months or years? my dear u have just began. I know a lady who dated a guy for 10 years and they didn't get married and guess what happened? she got pregnant on the 10th year and my dear the guy abandoned her. She's our family friend so it's not a hear say talk. 10 solid years! I saw it live 15 months is enough though for a guy to propose but one thing you should know is that, until a guy is MADE, he ain't gon pop that question cause he knows the pressure to say "I do" will be the next on the agenda.  Proper and correct guys want to make it first. If he has never discussed marriage with you, then you should tell us the reason cause that's a common conversation among partners and friends. My cousin who's 33 years is just getting married this saturday.You shouldn't be worried about that cause girl, you don't want to jump out the next day. Be prayerful and patient honestly. Marriage no deh trip me at all. 80% of my friends are guys but i can't see myself settling with any of them. I see marriage as being in bondage. Neway, whatever the case, NEVER PROPOSE TO A GUY no matter what. He will use it against you one day and you don't want to know what will come afterwards  people discover the kind of partner they have after years and run for their lives and you getting worried after 15 months, girl open you eyes o. God knows better |

This is why naija girls never get married. don't PRESSURE THE GUY. What is wrong with you? Are you a desperado??? Na by force?  You use nyash cook stew?? Be patient, and let the man do shit at his own time. If na marriage dey do you then yall should talk about it. For all you know he may not see you as wifey material. Go figure. |

look here
i say smack him over hte head fly to vegas and wed him while he is unconscious, and make sure to not sign a prenumptial agreement that way, u guys can't get a divorce immediately., he will eventually come around. bu ton a serious note, i would advise u not to wait for him
go wiht the guys that are asking u to marry them, preferrable not all at once ooh. pick the best one that compliments u and invite me to the traditional wedding.

Why do most girls think that guys are always ready for marriage? When u get into a rerelationship , take time to study the guy's position. Guys don't JUST get married OK. You have to connect the dots. How to make a family, quit bachelorhood, your family and friends.
Given our cultural background, its the man who shelters the woman. He directly or indirectly becomes a member of his wife's family . He has to be financial and emotionally stable. Its every guy's dream to have a super-duper wedding
NB; Guys cannot be pressurized into marriage. Its a number one turn off for guys.

Thanks alot girl. Am actually 30 and yes, the pressure is there. Especially since am an only child. So i guess you understand. We do talk about marriage but its never been a direct discussion. Most times he brings it up. But he's never just asked. But thanks for the advise. When you live in a society where everyone's expecting u to get hooked soon, not caring is never an option Here we go again!!! Did anyone even ask Ally her age una just deh open mouth anyhow she might be less than 25 and be desperate to get married due to peer pressure or she may be above 30. We don't really know.

Ally1,
I understand where you are coming from,I think the problem is men generally don't feel the biological pressure to get married.You should have a serious discussion with your man,No Holds Barred discussion and get this matter sorted out ASAP

~~~~ yarns, just getting up from sleep~~ Plenty talk! If i were you, I'D be alittle patient. I suggest u give him till the end of this year and see what happends. If he says and does nothing, Go with one of the others. don't push the other guys away and don't start a r/ship with them also, be nice to them and get to know them. Thats not cheatin. If mr loverman decides to dump u tomorrow, u know u've got someone to fall on. don't GO ASKING HIM FOR MARRIAGE. KEEP YOUR DIGNITY GIRL ~~ and die in silence ~~ |

Ally, . KEEP YOUR DIGNITY GIRL ~~ and die in silence ~~ Bad advice,why die in silence,this is the twentyfirst century for crying out loud,what a man can do,even better.If a man can can go on his knees and ask for your hand in marriage,you can lie on you stomach and beg for his hand in marriage only joking. Please be bold and talk to him,don't assume he is thinking like you |

When you live in a society where everyone's expecting u to get hooked soon, not caring is never an option Ally1, influence is another topic on its own, don't get influenced by the society you live in, they don't have the power to make your own choices. Thanks alot girl. Am actually 30 and yes, the pressure is there. Especially since am an only child.
There are ladies/women making it big time and they are single, marriage is another way of life, not that its not important, Patience is the only way of getting solution solved not rushing into something that will only cause you more sorrow. Follow your Heart, you can listen to advice but don't let people make your choice, ok. |

don't do it girl. Keep your pride. @Ally - If he hasn't asked you yet, there must be a reason, The other part of him misses you, but he hasn't got the guts to just be honest and say he made a mistake. , it’s new and fun and i’m not nagging about him not asking yet…, i think it’s great to wonder |

@Ally1
Maybe he just does not want you for a wife, becasue if he did he would have proposed by now. Men know what they want, and they will make a move if they really want you. My husband asked me to marry him only 2 months after we met, and I married my husband after only 9 months of dating. Keep your options open honey.
