I can reali undastand how u ar feelin rite now. But I wl advice u take slowly cos anxiety kills. Marriage is nt wat ucan rush into. I wl encourage u trust in God mor nd try 2b more virtuos in ur friendsip wt men. Stop burderin instead b happi alwayz nd add values 2ur life. If u ar xtian ucan b attendin single submit nd d rest. God wl surely grant u ur heart desire. But b warned dont take decisions under presure, cos it cud b dangerous. Shalom

Bestjon50: OP, I honestly feel your pain and understand the environment you are very well. It is not as you stated that guys in London are immature, it is just that most of them have one issue or the other that may influence largely any decision they make, especially when it comes to settling down with a woman. I also think that some ladies do not help matter as well. They have thrown the virtue of being natural in the bin. They have long forgotten their roots and how they are supposed to treat their supposed husband to be. Be that as it may, man (London man)has over time faced with difficulties as to marry or just remain single for life.

Just as you feel, many men in London also think that Nigerian girls in London do not want to get involved in a serious relationship that could lead to marriage. So you see! It is a 50 50 kind of thought. But i tell you, there is hope for Isreal. Just try and make yourself a good brand, that is a wife material, men would crawl on their kneels to ask for your hand in marriage. Also, try and lower your standard. Do not think the man must be very rich before you could listen to him in relation to this issue at hand. I have a feeling that someone that wants you as a wife does come your way, but ignorance makes you to turn him down because of his present package. It takes divine intervention to see beyond the package and perhaps, have a glimpse at the content. It is a mystery that you must unravel. When God is giving you the best, He always presents it in the most crude state. It is you that may do the refining. My friend watch and pray, your miracle is on the way, even from the forum.

Well said!

Pricelesss: Am over 28yrs Old, and i feel so good and happy with my life, don't care wotever any1 says about me. and i don't feel pushed or intimidated by anything.

I laugh when I see women talking like this like they dont care about getting married.You may not get worried while getting aged but trust me when you get aged,you will definitely wished you had started earlier.
I know someone presently who's going to be 48 by july this year.she sacrificed everything to make her career,she has houses and drives expensive cars but today,she comes to my mum most times telling her how she is unhappy with her life because something is missing there.you should start getting worried about marriage once your bre'asts start sagging !

you are only 25 and feel this way? chai i can imagine how fast the last guy run from you because you were probably asking him about marriage everyday for the 4 months you were together. I can't imagine running into you if i were single and getting questioned about out future together in less than a year. I say all this to say when a person is desperate people can see and smell it and you will run the risk of someone taking advantage of you all a person would have to do would be to dangle marriage in front of you and probably get you in the sack. You should just chill and try to cultivate meaningful relationships before you settle down

I think there are loads of immaturity in the London/UK dating scene - and it goes both ways. Girls are after yahoozee guys, and man dem are after LV, Gucci, AP watches, and blowing money fast. Most of the girls in this generation will end up as baby mums, and the guys will end up as waste men. I'm not mean, but I don't feel sorry for most London chics, you girls are getting what you deserve because the only language you understand is money. Go to a London club and pops champs, and see the number of girls who will be on it.

I don't feel sorry for you, and you can cry me a river.. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

You're still 25 and moaning - I just hope you won't turn 40 being someone's baby mum, and end up committing suicide. I'll continue beating the pum of those hungry sluts, and you lot deserve what you get.

It's a game, play the game. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
Re: 25 & Desperate Or Is Gods Time The Best?! by Nobody: 4:59pm On Apr 11, 2012
Finish up with your final exams, make sure you get a good grade then get employed or you can work on your masters....I bet you will have enough men to select from but the moment you begin to think the next thing is to get married then desperation will come in play and you might end up marrying a wrong man. Take your time and work towards your career and education.

There is no point arguing over this but what I do know is that at 25 years,a lady should know what she wants from a relationship.If at 25,all a lady thinks is just se'x and other irrelevant from a relationship,then she is doomed.btw,isnt a 25 year old lady supposed to have finished from the university and working already ?

My dear at 25, you still have a bit of time at your hands to play with.

But as ladies, we must understand that not all of us are meant to get married. Some are meant to be housewives, single, nuns, etc

What I can advice you to do is to strive for independence, enjoy your singlehood, travel and tour the world, buy yourself a car, wear all the expensive brands you desire, spoil your siblings and thank your parents etc.
There is nothing as boring as schoolfees,investing in some kids boring future, cooking even when you dont want to, driving a tired car because thats what your husband can afford, be limited with finances because of your husbands affordability especially when you didnt have the opportunity to enjoy yourself.

When the time comes, God will send the right person to you.Keep on praying.
But if God never had plans for you to get married, you will have to learn to accept that.

Our ways and plans are not Gods, he may have a totally different plan for you.

But understand one thing not all married people are happy. Poverty is also not sexy in marriage as well.

OP,
Relax your mind and at the right time the right guy would come. In the meantime, enjoy your being single and focus on your life rather than comparing yourself with others who are married.

Re: 25 & Desperate Or Is Gods Time The Best?! by bittyend(m): 5:33pm On Apr 11, 2012
KarmenK: I'm about finishing a degree this year. Ive only dated two guys one of two years and the other I ended last night after 4 months.
Both who are in there 30's were just wasting my time with no goal or plans for the future.
Their own concern or goal was to make money and wear the latest garms ( clothes).
I find guys in London are immature too much on a hype. The I dated for 2 years ( a ghanian ) told me he wanted to settle down at 40.( I mean come on)
All my mates are married with kids or have a kid and on to their second. I can't even mingle with these girls to say I'm scouting for potential bf

I dnt have a problem getting a guys it's keeping then long enough to like me more then my physical shape. I thought by now I would be in a serious relationship, pregnant or planning a wedding.
I'm I rushing it. My Nigerian name is Okemute = there's a time for everything. I know Patience is a Virtue. But I'm to damn inpatient my attitude is if I want something I'm must have.
I feel at 25 as a female I'm too old. Im also the eldest in my family I dnt to be 30 and single still with no kids let alone no husband. I've even considered moving to Nigeria in search of a bf potential husband.


So NL is Gods Time the Best shall I learn to be more patience. My mum keeps telling.
Or shall I get on the case and do fast.

What the heck?? Your written English is poor, I feel like smashing my laptop. This just shows that we black people in the UK are being treated as slaves, if you went through the educational system, and still can't write English to save your life. I wonder who's going to employ you - with the double dip recession in the UK.

Good luck with your search for a bf, I won't date someone like you - with your crap spellings and written English. lipsrsealed

Very interesting post.

Listen...i,m at work now (in London) can't stay on for long so here goes

Would love to "subscribe" and or "friend" you on Facebook. Why? You're yoruba (decent Yoruba pals (girls)are scarce in this city-London - for me atleast) and you sound interesting (like one can hold a discussion with you)

Can I say...I don't see you as desperate or anything. I am also not rushing in to say I want or anything else.

I created a temporary mail here - mail your FB or Googleplus addy (eterpetee@hotmail.co.uk)

Ok lot of BS above, some good information too
If people get marry their standard of living might go up some time
Don't buy or wear all expensive brands in the world, catch all good cloths on sales
Save, save , save, save, save lot of money
My wife bought a car put lot of money down and paid off the car within a year (Car of about $55K)
Go see the world
we just started doing trips ( two trips every year)
We both on good finance standing because we saved
