I DON'T WANT MY SIS TO DIE IN DA KITCHEN LOL, SO GEJ TILL A WOMAN BECOMES SULTAN OF SOKOTO.

would u rather she died at an interview Am sure you wouldn't!!
Whatever happened to that immigration job scandal, the money collected from applicants and the people involved. I stand for change, GEJ has had six years of hunger and blood shed, so why give him an extra 4
Let others be given a chance to take us somewhere!
Vote right!

Its a bitter pill to swallow, but if true may his soul rest in peace

Afrok:
Nice one op, but if U refused saying all those things to ur lover, what then will U say to him/her?

I was asking myself the same thing. These statements are ways u express yourself, and if you can't express yourself openly to your partner, then there is no partnership.

Heheh

Guys this is a nice piece, many ladies fall into shallow relationships with guys who are uninterested in something serious.. And they keep putting off making it official until u have opened ur heart to them, thereby making it more difficult to deal with the pain of their rejection.

Hahaha ....op I understand ur plight I had a friend who complained about every girl thinking he was taken thru out school...
But what do u want to do about it guys rock as best friends

How does a girl get out of d friendzone

Prixus:
this isn't so difficult nah. if it's going to lead to marriage plus study him well b4 divulging ur dark past.
if it's not gonna lead to marriage then pls feel free to lie about ur past.

Lols, thanks jare!
I am just of this crazy idea that people should learn to accept where people have been, and accept the changes they have made becos u weren't walking in their shoes...

Ikaosunwon:

Oh! I see, above 20 right?
If I may ask u, what is the essence of a relationship?

Lol companionship nd I tink its d tin dat preceeds marriage

Ikaosunwon:


That is a childish question. He won't come up with anything good with dat question alone.
That aside, how old are u & why do u want to start a relationship?

But to be in a thriving & sustainable relationship.
These are some questions u need to ask urself first & ur partner as the relationship begins.
1. what are ur short term goals?
2. What are ur long term goals?
3. What are ur views abt relationship (e.g relationship with his father, mother, colleague, God, siblings, co-wokers, an ordinary man on d streets, friends.......& so on)
4.What do u think u about me?
5. What do u feel about me?
6. ETC

Am quite of age, above 20. Well we have established some of the questions you stated above. Thanks a lot.
But I think it won't work out anyways.

tpia1000:
did he know how many times you'd had sex?

it used to be people asked how many partners, but I guess now its different.

Nope, and my tots exactly on d partner tin...

tpia1000:


not normal.

True but a guy wanted to know how many times I had had s.ex to be able to form his opinion of me...in a relationship that was going to be a no se.x relationship

tpia99:


you folks are scary.

Lol... U find people asking such questions,

striktlymi:
Me thinks what you have here is a very nice and thoughtful thread.

So many persons start up relationships for very wrong reasons which culminate in them having very sad experiences because in their haste to keep up with their peers, they forget to ask what I regard to be basic questions about the individual they want to have a relationship with.

For me, every romantic relationship should as a matter of necessity have marriage in view. To this effect, it is important that the dating process, which I believe should precede any commitment to a relationship, should be an integral part of getting to know the basic information about an individual.

In order not to make this too long, I will go right ahead to list out some important information, I believe, you need ask your prospective bf or gf, considering the peculiarities of the country we live in and culture of Nigerians.

1) The state the person is from, down to the LGA and village.
2) The persons family.
3) The genotype of the individual.
4) The person's religion.
5) The birth position of the individual for the Ada's
6) The nature of the individual's job.
7) The individual's likes and dislikes.
8. Etc

It is impractical to get all the much needed basic information on one date. If you like the person you may want to have several other dates in order to get to know more about him or her before making a commitment.

Please note that it is important to ask questions and insist on sincerity without making your date uncomfortable or make it sound like he or she is being interviewed formally.

Dating is meant to be fun.

Nice writeup, most of us have lost sight of what is really important....

dannydaniels:
lekwenu ajuju.....if he tells u he had se.x with d past gf 121 times will u still continue??

Does it change anything? If he now really doesn't want to engage in premarital sex

About starting a new relationship and its d first time am starting a new relationship.
Is it important to know how many times he had s.ex with his previous partner, especially if its just one person

What are the basic things u need to know?

Plus I have a pretty dark past and I want to be honest, but am scared of opening up..
