I hope he doesn't pass out when I do this, tho

A naija lady can ask men out too but it's based on the material things she will get out of d relationship. not because of one so call love of likeness. in d absent of money and other things she will be asking who is next.
Our girls are not sincere so they don't get sincere result as well. in responses to that (I.e not getting sincere result) their EGO is an option for them.

naaah, you do that. when you come up with list forward the link....

I don't think I'll feel comfortable if a girl am dating asks me to marry her.. its going to be so awkward for me. marriage is not something one rushed into so if I most marry I must be sure of myself and know that she's the one. I need to be in total control and not just rush and marry her because she had the courage to ask.
