Sup fellows,
  Just wanted to bring this topic out today, l hear most guys say l can date a lady but when it's time to marry, can't marry her or ladies say he's just there for now but when it's time to marry, can't marry him. So share ur opinions.

Sure, why not. Before I got married, I dated, most of them I knew I couldnt marry cause they were muslims. But they were nice guys and I liked them then and Ive learnt from all those relationships. Its no big deal when youre young. Its when you reach a particular age you start the, can't date if he's not a propective husband material thingy.

The word Date now has rainbow meaning. But if u mean date as in intimate relationship.

I wouldnt

I know date has now been clasiffied into 2.

Hiajj - sexual relationships in which 1 or both parties is/are aware that its leading nowhere

courtship - where they plan to marry themselves.

Most relationships mid way tend to be more of the Hiajj type.

I obviously can engage in the first. Ladies don't have time on their side so its shere wickedness leading her on.

I can only Date a lady i see a prospect of a lasting union and marital bliss. Sure I don't know the future but i know my feelings and purpose. Thats enough.

no one can tell if a date would lead to marriage. you take a plunge and it happens because love is something you grow. that means you have to plant, most times we do not knowing

what makes u think he even has a heart, to now talk of the heart breaking. The guy might just want someone to be by him for the while till he feels its time for him to marry. The guy now goes for his "Dream girl". It also applies to the females.

The moment I realise that I can't possibly marry a particular girl, the tendency is for me to draw away from her:
  I think most young ladies don't have much to offer along the lines of helping a male friend to achieve his dreams, nor do they have interesting dreams that one can help them to achieve, so once the romance/marriage aspect is ruled out there is nothing else that one can discuss with them!

I don't understand you guys.

I'm dating you doesn't mean i should be able to marry you, or I will marry you. Maybe it's because of my age though. But seriously...?

I think it all depends on the person, some guys like to have someone they call a "keeper" just to avoid being lonely. Most guys don' t have a heart so they don't' care who ends up getting hurt in the process but its kind of sad because those girls don't take it easy. They end up hurting the innocent bride the guy wants to marry and thats why most guys end up marrying and wife having no child. Its kind of sad. Huh

I don't have time to waste with the wrong chic,

if I know that she is not the one then I will be lying to her if we are still in a relationship,

I have had a lot of relationships and the longest

lasted 4 months. The moment i discover that I can't marry you girl it is over.

I am looking for my wife to date, no need wasting time with the wrong girl,

Imagine if my wife just crossed my path looked my way and says he is engaged

just because am with another chic.

Another thing you ladies have to realise is that while dating is a lot of fun for a woman, it is a lot of work for a man.  Except for the sex part.  So if a man is dating a woman he doesn't intend to marry it will be for sex only.  This is a just a hypothesis.

Truth be told most of these boys don't know what marriage entails... Maybe they need to seek advice from a more matured mind eg. their folks or somebody much more older...Why in this earth would you leave the one you've been dating for so long to get married to a  stranger ? or don't ya know why we court before marriage!!

When I'm dating someone, I start dreaming of us getting married! I even play and scribble my name and his surname with different handwritings like Mrs N*** M******. It's exciting! Lips sealed

I would like to just date people for the fun of it but what use is dating someone that you cannot picture yourself in the future with. Its kind of like going into a relationship thats doomed to fail! Who does that? Well, i dated this guy for a year but knew from day one that it was just for the "fun of it" but when i ended it, he was so broken physically and mentally that i vowed never to get myself into anything for the fun of it! I will only date people that have the qualities i would like in a husband.......................not saying that i would want to get married to him......................he just has to have the potential!

My answer would be no! In the past i have dated someone who i knew i couldn't possibly get married to, but i've learnt to see things differentlly now so i wouldn't date someone who i do not  have the least desire to get married to eventually. It saves me a lot of trauma,because that "dating with no strings attached" thing, just dosen't work for me.

Not every r/ship must lead to marriage.
And its not everytime i set my eyes on a date that i should think of marriage.

When i was much younger i dated guys that were party and good time freaks but in my heart of hearts i knew i would never get married to them.

So i guess i can date someone i know i can never marry  Cool

Okay deji how intresting? When u get ready to settle down you will now run into " those who are having fun dating those they can't settle down with having no need to pretend and under no unecessary pressure .... with no string attached" and u will understand whay you have put some people through if you look back sincerely

Same goes for you La_viva.

I thought the whole point of relationships was getting to know your partner and then eventually deciding to marry or not. Huh
