Hi guys, i need a candid advice on this 'dilemma'
Breaking up my last relationship of about 3 years left
me with a detest for romance or commitment,and I have been very happy being single or
being the other guy.
I have been scared that i might have developed a phobia for relationships until recently i met
this lady that has been driving me loco.She's pretty,intelligent and all but she's six months older( i am 26.)

Do you think it would affect the relationship in any way?
Is it advisable for a guy to marry an older lady?
Wouldn't she be in hurry to marry considering her age?

not again

Do whatever your heart tells you!

Just six months?

It's not an issue?

6 months or 6 years

6 months isnt enuff cause for worry . . as long as u both give each other d required respect, i dont c y u cant flow wit ur new found source of joy. . as for d marriage scare, if u sense shez headed dat way, let her know ur not ready. If she still sticks wit u, then make sure u dont make her regret it.  

What is on your mind? Do you mind marrying a woman 6 months older than you? What do you think your family's reaction will be?
It all depends on you.

if you both love urselfs, then age is not a problem

Seems everything is an issue in Naija, 6 months and you talk as though she is your mother's age, it is only six months dude.  You are making "an issue out of a tissue" really!

dont marry her
@age 50 think of how wrinkled she would be~
then u would be the person younger than she is~

Both of you are in the same age brackets.
She is not older,since its the same yr.
Meanwhile Grow up or she might help you grow.

Well as much as I myt not be readily disposed to dating an older woman, I realy won't make a big deal of 6months if I'm that into her. 4years could be more of an issue.

Different strokes sha.

She's six months older, so what?

Why would you be asking forumites, if it's likely to become an issue? Everyone has different temperaments, what may suit one, may not suit another. At the age of 26, you should know what you want, if you don't know at this point, then I'm afraid, you're not ready for any sort of relationship.

Good luck.

Sometimes i imagine what prompts peoples responses on NL.
Why would i be asking forumites?'cos i might be lucky to find someone who's got a similar experience to share that might be helpful.
It wouldn't be an issue if she was 19 or 20 and was 6 months older but she's 26 and maybe finking bout that clock,and that might be where our priorities gonna differ.

Sometimes, I wonder what prompts people's threads on Nairaland.

And I'll say now - only an uneducated person will refer to a woman's biological clock at 26. As for finding someone else on here that's had a similar experience, that seldom works. Everyone's different, you need to find what works for you, not adapt someone else's experiences to fit your life.

Do you know how foolish you come across as? You decide to spam the entire board with your tripe, because you're too daft to follow simple instruction? What's so romantic about TM Lewin shirts? To your knowledge, does your thread fit in here?

Responding to peoples thread on NL is a matter of choice,Nobody forced you to comment.Besides i would fink sharing of knowledge and ideas is a major reason people create threads no matter how dumb the topic might be,but i guess you are too educated to notice that.

DONT GO AHEAD, I WAS IN A SIMILAR SITUATION BEFORE, MINE SHE WAS JUST A MONTH OLDER, AND I COULDNT STAND IT.

THE FACT THAT YOU POSTED HERE FOR ADVICE MEANS YOU ARENT TOO SURE--PLS DONT GO AHEAD, WOMEN ARE FUNNY, AND AGE ISNT ANYTHING A

MAN SHOULD TOY WITH IN A R/SHIP.

CUT IT OFF, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE OK.?
