Samakus:
Hi guys. It's Christmas morning but let me have your thoughts on this.

Just coming back from early morning Christmas service of my church. I have a friend (a girl] that is just a normal hello/hi kind of friend. Nothing between us.

At the close of service, she met me and suggested that I marry her. Initially I thought she was joking but she reaffirmed her stand saying that she has been given all manner of ģreenlights but it's like I take her for a sister. She bluntly asked that if I like her, I should marry her and that she will provide half of the cost of the wedding. I didn't know what to say cos truly, that's a first time for me.

She knows my woman and I told her so but she's was like, 'your woman can't give you this offer that I'm giving you and it's better you marry who loves you more than you love her.

I don't really like her in a romantic way. I See her more as a friend but this move from her got me thinking.

I love my woman and but I know she's not ready right now either. What will you do if you're in my shoes.

Insults are welcomed too. Based on nairaland way

Lol.....

I would said he is one lucky dude if the girl in question happens to be his girlfriend (she might have a clean heart who knows) but even at that he will still have to thread carefully not to fall into the pit but from just a "normal" friend, that's definitely a setup!

She is damn too desperate..

If I were you, I will stay away from her.
These days I don't trust anything too easy or too good to be true.

Simple

I blame your culture
Marriage can be less expensive than you think
My culture is as you want

Nazgul:
When a woman starts pressurizing you for marriage and even offers to foot half of the bills, run for your life. Cos there's something she isn't telling you about herself which you'll end up discovering too late.

I smell desperation , probably running out of time

fman:

Generalwoodz:
She said that on Christmas day? What was her facial expressions, countenance when she said that? Was it flat out or laced with unspoken humor?

That statements from her was borne out of a place of ridiculously idea of a cheap wedding.

Subscribe to her yearnings and get a professional to draw up total cost of High Nigerian wedding...

Never go below 10M.

Hypothetical, if she agrees to fund half of that price then she's the prize.

She definitely can't fund half of 10m wedding. About her countenance? She wasn't playing. I laughed it off initially but she persisted and I could see that she was worried that I will say no

biko calm down naaa.. .when a man wants to marry a baby, we don't call him desperate; but when a woman makes that step, why then do we call her desperate? she is going for what she wants.
Personally, i do admire women like that .

only a desperate girl makes such move.

Samakus:


Funny thing is that she's within 25-27yrs. So why the desperation?

Divoc19:
Dear Samakus, have you asked her why she is so desperate for marriage at this time. Make her to open up to you 99.9% then decide if you want to help her make it happen because you may also benefit from it somehow. That is before you decide to go ahead.

Note that if you decide to marry her she may be a good wife but you may never love her. Your marriage may not last too. Even marriages where both couples seem to love each other don't last these days

As for you woman, tell her you want to marry her, look and act serious to see her reaction. That will let you know if she is ready.

Always remember, there's not more guarantee for a long lasting marriage anymore.

I smell desperation due to lack of time and other factors you ain't know shit about yet, if you still wan run am na your personal issue but remember "fire wey fire extinguisher no fit quench na him them dey use take burn bush" a word is enough for the wise and the wise one's know words are powerful.
