He shouldn't agree to such ultimatum. He should take his time and do it when he is ready. Hope the lady is not by her father's side tho.

But why is the girl's dad being so cavalier and insensitive to the guy's situation?
Or is there something else we don't know?

shocked are you for real? Well, since it is obvious you are a loooong way from being a father in the real sense of the world, let me ask you this, if your sister were in the same position, how would you handle it?

Op, the girl is the one who needs advice here. If her goal is to settle down in the nearest future and that goal is not shared with the boy she is with, then she better be wise and get a man who is on the same page with her, before she wakes up one day with no suitor!

Re: Advice by cococandy(f): 11:38pm On Mar 24, 2015
Yea but it should be the girl asking him that not her father.
It makes it look like her family is putting pressure on him.

If a girl is adamant about sticking to a guy whose future plans for her is obscure, it is well within her father's right to have "the talk" with the guy.

Obviously, she has talked with him and he has stated he isn't ready because even the friend points that out.

Well she's only 19 according to the OP

Which sane father will be all about bundling her off at that age?
How do we know there are other suitors?
Classic tale used to stampede some guys into hasty commitment because they are made to believe they might lose her if they don't hurry.

As the op pointed out, other suitors are coming to fish in that lake. So, the dad is even considerate and respectful of the guys feelings to ask about his intentions. Some men would have compared and contrasted and banned the girl from seeing the dude.

That age may be young to you but ripe enough for some others. You don't know where they are from and their cultural practises.

If the father wants her to finish school first, why is he the one on the guy's neck?

Anyway na their matter be that.

So what do you your friend want us to help you with?
How to tell the father to wait that you're not ready?

Just say it na. If they can't wait, they will marry the next suitor that comes.
Gives your time to plan your life and not be rushed into anything.
