@Tpia

Na by ship and road you go now, that one dey too strenuous, person go dey road for 2 months never still reach

windywendy:

Oh I didn't even know you called me a frustrated spinster. But why na? Because I disagreed with your opinion? Awwww, poor insecure you. But like I mentioned earlier, your opinion is really not as important as you think it is -- at least not to most of us, it isn't. I guess you're one of those guys who go about thinking that women ought to consider themselves lucky if a man even as much as says "hi" to them. And so anyone that shows even the slightest sign of having a mind is classed as a "frustrated spinster" Chei, in this same world we live in? Tis so sad. Good night o, mr feminazi. Although with the amount of energy you're devoting to these so-called feminazi issues, it makes me wonder sha . . . anyway make I no talk again .

As an aside, you should visit the business section sometime. It's more interesting than this one. There's a thread "stock market tips for nigerians" that could use some of this your energy.

Madam Business Analyst,

I really dunno how people can trust your stock tips when u don't even seem to be able to read carefully before hitting your keyboard.

I never called you a 'frustrated spinster'.

It was your cheerleaders who were claiming that I called you a 'frustrated spinster'

Got it?

Sheesh! Its not rocket science.

Na wa for you o!

Anywayz, I am el cheapo personified and I just love free stock tips - so I'll certainly be visiting your fav threads shortly.

I forgot to add that I am not that desperate, no body dey pursue me from house

ROTFLMSBO. . . . in his own mind, he's speaking proper English

Methinks the babe is kinda uptight and already had very high expectations about a marriage proposal from the guy seeing dey had been together for 4 years. This probably blinded her from seeing d guys intention for what dey really are and the spirit behind his choice of words.

Words are only as good as the mindset from which dey r spoken, who knows maybe it was d guys attempt to use humour ( ;DI for one wld think it funny if i was a babe and a guy proposed to me like dat, especially if he was my freind, ). Or mayb he was just testing her. If dey r reaaly freinds den i think she overreacted

the guy was a jack-ass and deserves what he got. "I've decided to marry you"!!!!! as if she begged or he was thinking on whether she is worth it. abeg make she throw that yeye fish for water after all plenty still dey.

yes throw 4years of your life into the drain over some silly miscommunication. jeez u I N D E P E N D E N T chicks can be something else.

post pics here when they have the weddin, the guy should learn to talk less and she should reduce the amount of attention she gives to the words that come out of his mouth

you must be smoking the same thing as dalby.

I've noticed a trend on nairaland these days where people start spilling what they regard as others' personal information, in an attempt to score some cheap points and make the person look bad.

Why should I worry myself about anything dalby feels like posting about me? its a free world.  People are free to post any information they think they have, about random strangers they've never met in real life but who they loose sleep over at night.

That's what instant messenging is for- random information about people on nairaland. Juicy gist and even juicier gossip.

So far, the guy has said I'm working three jobs, I'm an accountant because of taxes, I live or don't live in Nigeria. All very useful information, as far as I know.
he also included other usefully coded information such as telling me he's married and going home to his wife, he has a job which pays him wonderfully (better than my own), I trekked out of Nigeria through whatever country or countries he cares to name, etc etc. Not to mention the fact that according to him I'm still trekking and so far havent even reached my destination.

At least im own never reach pawpaw level yet. abi no be poop packer pawpaw say I dey do for abroad? Since all Nigerians in diaspora dey pack sh*t. This one still say I be accountant. maybe na one of my other three jobs involve sh*t packing.

I've also noticed 95% of dalby's posts are in response to something AJ said. I doubt he'd have anything sensible to type on nairaland if he's writing for himself and not as follow follow.

Whoever wants to rant should rant o.

If you have any info on me, please spill the beans. I don't even need to bother verifying or denying- after all ,it must be true, or how else would people have heard about it. In fact, i'm saying right now that any info someone posts about me on nairaland, is true. Guaranteed true by me, and stamped with my seal of approval. You can quote me for future reference.

sheesh. Considering how folks are going kolo these days with people's pictures and what not, is it even surprising. You have a personal problem with somebody, you post pictures of her family. You mutilate other people's pictures. You cast aspersions on people for issues not even related to the topics being discussed.  Are all these the marks of civilized or even sane people. 

But carry on, sha. I dey.

local radicals.

true talk.

i would take his proposal and force feed him with it.  

This is the most interesting topic i have ever contributed to, cos' i had same experience wit my girl.
The fact that the guy said ''I have finally decided to marry You" means the girl has been all over his neck asking and begging him, when will you marry me?? and i sure the guy has been like soon! Very soon as i would have said.
I would advise the girl to be careful so the guy wont have to change his mind. Although the truth is that when such decisions are made by guys they find it difficult to Switch back.

@ Rad

All opinions expressed by me on this thread are largely facetious and tongue in cheek.

wetin come be all this drama between the guys and tpia? Abeg if una wan marry make you take tally number, na me be her manager

@ spoilt

no need to stuff him with it, tell him he is BANNED from accessing the twins and he will arrange himself sharp sharp

general note

there must be so much frustration amongst Nigerians sha. . .before the topic even lands, people go off attacking personalities instead of dealing with the issues. I wonder why

Guys want to bang but they dont want to commit.
Anyway guys have a way of posing when it comes to marriage. In their hearts they know you are a real babe and a half and the best chick to ever darken their doorway but on the outside they form and act like they dont want to marry.

"I have finally agreed to marry you" ! Hehehehe. The more i repeat it to myself , the more ridiculous it sounds.

You've already stated the obvious, no need wondering.

dont blame guys. Women think that banging is the key to the hallowed chambers of marriage.

Actually when i think of it now it wasnt so bad. I wish the girl could have had a better sense of humor.

And probably it was "imaginary beings" not men who pester them to think that way, abi?

see them Ladies hmnnnnnnnnn!!

Be it ''i have agreed to marry you'' or Come and be my lady because in my dreams i see my baby in your tommy''
whats important is the message he was trying to pass across which we already know. . .

To me there is nothing wrong with it. . .Ohh Lawd!
Bu' ladies don't y'all get tired of scopes everytime. . ?

@ sly

I really don't care about the issue of who's right and who's wrong, all this romantic thrills on do's and dont's bore me like hell, but the manner in which you pass your message across could make the message itself meaningless to the other person.

you cant blame her. why would a man propose to a woman like that? as if he has a gun to his head. when he signs the dotted lines he stands to gain. heck he gets a 'washer woman', cook, cleaner, hostess, hot water bottle and what have you. all in exchange for one cheap shackle ring
I am definitely coming back as a dude.

Could u please elucidate better on how it can be perfectly said. . . . because i would like to know
Is it . . .'' I love u ^{tori torun} means _{from head to toe} and i would like you to be the mother of my unborn rascals?
Is that perfect? because thats what i'm going to use when its my turn

Please advise. .

Deeply stare into her eyes and say "Would you be my wife?" Be serious while saying it. I can't stand jittery men. At least that will work for me, don't know about others. No long stories, short and smooth.

I don't see what's wrong with the statement: "I have finally decided to marry you"

This means that the guy deliberated the issue at length in his mind and finally decided to marry the lady. He or some of his relatives may have had some issues with the lady and that made him hesitate. But after he resolved all his doubts and was satisfied with the situation, he then decided to marry the lady.

How else does a guy reach the point of marrying a lady if not by taking a position and deciding to marry the said lady. Would it be better if the guy accidentally, mistakenly, or spontaneously married the lady? Is it not the case that such a serious issue as marriage has to be well deliberated and then decided?

One may argue that the statement assumed that the lady had no say in the decision. But that's obviously false because the man proposes and the woman has to accept or reject the offer. Strictly speaking, the statement was not a proposal (a proposal gives room for a response and is typically a question) but a revelation to the lady by the guy of his decision. This very likely happened this way because after four years of being a couple, the guy assumed that they were close enough for him to tell her of his decision.

Marriage is ultimately a decision.

. . . . . .And you are so analytical about the whole thing RichyBlacK.    They have kissed and made up. . . just give them your blessings.

- i don't think every man has to look serious while popping the question, everyone has a particular style that works well for them.
- Its easier said than done, most men are bound to be nervous asking a question that will not only impact their's but your life forever. Expect some fidgeting . . . remember "NO" is a possible answer.

The question doesnt even have to be the cliched "will you be my wife" . . . there are several ways of telling her, if she understands you well enough she should get the message. The most important thing to me is not just a wife but a mother to my future kids . . . i am more tempted to use that instead.
Different strokes for different folks.

Which automatically translates you would be shaking like waterleaf when popping the question . As I earlier said "will you be my wife" will work for me. I definitely will not spend four good years as the poster said with a guy without thinking or insinuating about marriage, so no need for outrageous long stories.

mba why will i be shaking so badly. At this point i shld know the girl well enough to know what her answer would be.
You're right though, after 4yrs no more room for long tori. Just give her a ring and tell her to meet you at the church . . .

kai bros, stop reading my mind
