Bollocks! Marry him already. That's if he proposes. There's nothing wrong in marrying someone younger than you. I can totally relate to how your bf is comfortable with your age difference. Trust me when I say there are certain young men who prefer dating slightly older ladies. Be cool. |

@Amelian In your post you didn't mention if you told him YOUR OWN AGE . It's very important you know.  |
| Re: Why Is A Typical Nigerian So Pessimistic About True Love? by Nobody: 1:37pm On May 15, 2013 |
Just be careful and take your time! I don't want to see any other tearful thread from you! |

Yea, I told him my age when immediately he told me his.. He looked confused and says but I look less than 30, cause of my baby face...that am lieing to scare him away... That was when I shook my head and walked out on him, before he traveled 2 Yobe. |

Okay. I am not a typical Nigerian. I am cosmopolitan and I believe in true love and I have been experiencing it too. |

when i talk they will say age is just a number. How on earth will i settle down with a girl that is five years older than me, am i mad, wen they are fresh girls of my age around the city. |

1. What tribe is the guy? (there are some tribes in this country that will find it difficult to marry someone older than them) 2. Are his parents aware of the relationship and the age difference? 3. How are you sure this guy is not grooming a young lady somewhere (probably while he was serving in Yobe)? 4. Its a game of probability and risk, its either is works out (which i pray it will) or it doesnt work out. 5. I once had that issue, was dating someone older than me (just a year), i later came to my senses, realise a lot of things and put my family into consideration and come to conclude that it cant work out and had to let go. 6. You also need to PRAY a lot about it, if it is God's will. 7. I wish you all da best. Note: 5 years no be beans o |

dannysteve99@ya: How can she be sure that he is still solidly in love with her? She should never have dumped him. Why didnt she see how the relationship was before dumping him. If he was acting mature, caring and understanding couldnt she over look the age aspect? |

@Amelian Alright then. I would say GO FOR IT! Sometimes we have to take risks in life, but at 29 years of age, he's not a kid. Find out from him what he thinks of the age gap... and how committed he is in the long term. If he has no problem with it, and he's what you want, why not? You won't be the first, and won't be last woman to marry a man younger than herself. Good luck.  |

dannysteve99@ya: So is that a yay or nay? Should she or should she not? |

If the guy is igbo, forget him. A day will come when suddenly he would realise his mum doesn't like you. |

Hmm OP you seem happy and that's the most important thing. Although in most relationships like yours that I've seen, the woman usually appears like the boss, I hope you respect and still treat him like man regardless of the age difference. If you are sure he loves you and wants to go all the way with you then no worries, I for one sha don't want a younger man cos I go just kill with hand and I don't want to look like my husband's aunty by the time I'm 40 or something . |
| Re: Why Is A Typical Nigerian So Pessimistic About True Love? by Nobody: 2:27pm On May 15, 2013 |
By the time he's done with you, he will surely dump you for a younger girl that can do acrobat on bed. Don't put all of your heart in this relationship. I am a guy and i know what i am talking about. Don't be surprised when that time come. |

What matters is what you both want. It would work perfectly well if you both learn not to allow 3rd party view matters. Best of luck. |
