U shouldn't be worried at 23 dear, pple get married at 35 n it works for them, same people also get married at 20 n it works for them. God's time is d best. Study yourself very well to know what's gud for u and wat u want. Don't rush because people are getting married in oda not t go with the wrong person. If u rush in, there's tendency for rushing out. At 23 u should be in a relationship, bt if u aren't, its not too late n it doesn't calls for worrying. Give chance for a man in ur life if u av any one at hand n if u don't, look within u if u av any attitude pushing them away n make amends. Bt remember dat no one is catching late comers for marriage. Go for it when u feel you're phsycologically, emotionally,financially n matured enof for it. All d best.

sanb: Age shouldn’t be a determining factor for marriage. You’ve got to be ready mentally and emotionally cos marriage is not a bed of roses. You’re still young; build yourself up a bit, be happy with yourself, learn more about yourself and look for someone you’re compatible with...Don’t allow anyone to put pressure on you to marry when you’re not ready so that you don’t rush into the marriage and rush out of it. All the best....smiley
Since u've said all, I've nothing else to say. ULTRA GBAM!!

ameeno: hi everyone...
i am 23 years old and without a boyfrend.
i am done with school, Nysc and now i have a good job... the problem here is that slowly my mum has started putting pressure on me to get married...i have also started getting worried myself because i really dont have any toasters at all even though i am very beautiful.
ok i will like to know at what age should a woman really start getting worried...i would appreciate all ur opinions

Seems no one is putting the bolded into consideration,

Op,has any guy ever asked you out,be honest please
Re: At What Age Should A Woman Start Getting Worried About Marriage by fairygeh(f): 10:50pm On Nov 12, 2012
@ poster,@ 23,u are still young,not too young for marriage though but not for you to start worrying urself over.so what you do is this,get yourself a boyfriend,if u are t®uly beautiful,u would have toasters wtf am I even saying,ugly girl sef dey get toasters now.agree to date who you realy like and not because ur mum iS pressurizing you.do not rush,I repeat do not be desperate.sme pple re in some die hard marriages now cos they rushed into it.its not how far but how well.

ameeno: thanks a million best advice ever
You think this is the best advice? Ok, wait until you are 46 years old then. Your mum knows why she is saying what she said, though u don't have to rush into anything. But at d same time, babe shine ur eyes if u wanna marry at all. Do not let people who do not know anything about biology tell some bulllshit about when to marry. Some people will even say age does not matter.

Gud question. If not, she needs prayers. Trust me.
Re: At What Age Should A Woman Start Getting Worried About Marriage by pwettytemmy(f): 7:42am On Nov 13, 2012
@K2039 no one is asking her to get married at 35 I'm only trying to give her instances why she shouldn't think she's getting old for marriage. @OP I think ur mum is worried cos she feels if school n job works out for u so early in life, then what stops marriage from working out early as well. Btw did u say u av no toasters at 23? I don't wanna believe dat.

D-Explorer:
There's something about this story that's false.
...especially the "I'm very beautiful" part. She gotta be drop-dead ugly not tohave any toasters as she admitted. I mean, at 23, supposedly independent, what else could ward off the toasters unless she's a big mobile bag of ugly burned sh'it. Just saying...

OP, you sound totally like me! I am quite pretty, but I noticed that after the steady relationship I had going in 2010 ended I've been zooming through men (some 2 week relationships shocked) and haven't had anything steady since then. I mean...it's crazy! I went from having someone worshiping me everyday for 2yrs to having absolutely no one(worshiper or not). And my mum's not helping issues at all. ALWAYS telling me to get married etc etc.

I also got worried....I started seeing some logic in what she was saying....I'm 23yrs old with no commitment whatsoever, and I want to get married by 25 and I want to have dated the guy for at least 18 months before marriage and here I am with NO boyfriend....my sister, at a point I had to sit and start re-assessing myself and even prayed about it too...lol. Anyway, I started dating a guy last week (lemme cross my fingers and pray it works out), although my mum already said I can't marry from Kogi state, coz I'm Igbo....that's her opinion though...as long as I'm convinced that he's the "one", I will marry him.

In conclusion....I think you should be a bit worried...its natural....you can have everything good in the world, but when you do not have love or specifically love from that "one" person....it's the pits. I know its cool sometimes saying "I'm single" and all that but....nothing compares to sharing your victories and sad moments with that "one" person...its probably coz he's not compelled to listen and love you like your family is, but has come to you on his own accord to give u all those good stuff for free.

P.S- Perhaps you shouldn't look for TDH(Tall, Dark, Handsome)but do look out for one that has a good job/prospect. I think that is what matters most, but you must still be physically attracted to him. (My bf is not the cutest, but I console myself with couples like Heidi&Seal etc etc and he is very nice, intelligent,confident, hard working and has truckload of prospects grin)

@OP, am almost in the same shoe like you ,the pressure from my office is even more than my home like saying " when are you sharing the aso ebi" and sometime I responds to them that " please am still a young babe. But my problem is at this age that I have not been in any relationship before due to my choosy habit(more than 25) oh and I have hundreds of men begging all the time but I no see my choice oh. But now with pressure from both side office and home I just think what we need here is prayer. Marriage is not something you rush into so that we won't rush out. Though I have ni experience in relationship but meh I read a lot that really make me to teach people a little I know. OP, you are young and at the same time you need to shy your eye so that you won't rush later. All the best.
