victorian:Have you come accross a Playboy that promise ladies marriage, act responsible, play along with the kind of character you want as a man? Hope you know what a "player" is? Now the question is, how do you know a playboy and a genuine responsible guy? |

victorian:What if he's a player? |

cruchenutii:You said that people regret not having settled for less and I said that this is not reason enough to have regrets because you can ALWAYS settle for less. Not only a lot of ladies settle for less but also a lot of men. One of my very best friends has done it thinking that if he can't have the woman of his dreams, he can at least get a very nice one to start a family. Guess what! She is not so nice after all. She was at the beginning though. ![]() |

Mindfulness:Yes, I also said that "Truth is they never made a Wrong choice by not settling for less, It's just that Life is a pot of beans." Maybe you just jumped this part. The issue with "Regrets" is, even the ones you wanted to settle for less aren't even there anymore. You are now left the lowest of men/women. Please I don't understand this part - Guess what! She is not so nice after all. She was at the beginning though. |

tintingz:If you read Op's story. She said the guy wants them to settle down, and and thereafter become intimate in marriage They've not been having sex, cos they are both SU. He wants to do things properly, get married, move in together and start having sex after wards. Does such actions shows he is a player? Uncle ? ![]() |

cruchenutii:Says who? Please I don't understand this part - [i]Guess what! She is not so nice after all.He married a nice woman who changed after marriage and child birth. She is not as nice as she was in the beginning. |

Mindfulness:I'm not generalising, it seems you don't get my point. Mindfulness:Okay. |
| Re: I Need Advice Before Taking The Huge Step Into Marriage. by Nobody: 8:22pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
cruchenutii:I think you were and I think I did. And this is the kind of nonsense that makes people settle for less. |

victorian:Players don't rush into having sex, they play along. The trick can be, let's get engaged and then have some sex and the drama begins. Now this is not the OP's concern, her concern is there's no strong connection between them, the chemistry is not flowing. This can be because they are having distance relationship, they need to spend more time together to know what actually works for them. Rushing into marriage hoping things will change is not certain and not a good advice. |

Mindfulness:Ok, let me say it as ABC. Woman A, Woman B & Woman C are close friends, Woman A meets Man A who is interested in her & is the man of her dreams, she marries him. Woman B on there hand meets Man B, who isn't upto par with Woman A [ upto par can be anything ranging from physical/financial/spiritual ] etc Woman B is confused because she doesn't want to settle for less. She continues her life. Coincidentally same occurrence happens to Woman C. They both continued their life. Woman C later meets the Guy of her dreams at 35, she marries & she is happy. Woman B seeing that all her friends are married just eventually settles for any man that is willing to get married to move on. My point is: Some people are favoured in life, some are not. Those who aren't lucky will always regret of not taking their options earlier in life. Life is a pot of beans. Nothing is promised. Woman B has done nothing wrong really. She is unlucky. EOD. |

cruchenutii:Let's play some more. What if woman A's husband leaves her for a younger one after 30 years of marriage and woman C's husband dies in an accident? That's life ... |

Mindfulness: Mindfulness:Thank you, some of the advice given here was quite scary, Making it seems as though, he is the last good man on earth and if she doesn't marry him she may(won't) get another guy on earth that is good to her and that she will actually love, so she better hurry up, do the needful and settle for him, It was quite bothersome. Or acting as though just because she said she doesn't feel love for this guy then she wants one dangerous bad boy that will shatter her heart. tintingz:Thank you |

Daeylar:You have perfectly summarized the nonsense advice here. Had I listened to such nonsense, I would have ended with a man I would by now be very tired of, to say the least. Thank God I was stubborn enough to wait for my own time and on my terms. ![]() |
| Re: I Need Advice Before Taking The Huge Step Into Marriage. by Daeylar(f): 7:22pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
Mindfulness:Lol thanks, like I said, quite scary, ![]() I'm glad you followed your brain and your heart and it ended up good for you, I wish op the best no matter what she chooses. I just didn't like the idea of her making a decision from advice given out of fear(that she won't find another good man) and desperation (for op to lock down her man since she won't get another good one). |

A lot has been offered you already but i noticed this, you have not yet loosened yourself to the reality of a romantic life. You are still too uptight, i know the SU-ish background added to its seriousness. You are not yet nolstagic about loving and being loved in an opposite sex way. Age and loneliness may jolt you into this reality but it may be late. The last point you stopped at mills and boom taught you to feel a chemistry and so you are waiting for the chemistry sign to believe it has come. I think in the process of waiting for the right time you shut your system to some of the the things that. are enzymatic to making you experience the chemistry even if you find the right reaction; some of these things are seeing two young people who genuinely love each other and desiring to have what they have instead of passing them of as sinners totally not worthy of emulation, not so exposed to mature and real dating information and consequently not yet seeing an urgency for marriage and thus not too bothered if it comes now or later with no define time. Loosen yourself, then define or list your realistic desires in a spouse like a woman going to the market armed with the knowledge of things she need to buy lest you may see what you need and not know or take the wrong thing charmingly sold you. |

sleit:Sounds like you're some Christian. The question is, what's GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU, NOT NAIRALANDERS ADVICE, when e start dey happen, nairalanders no go dey there, and it's easy to advice than to do what you advise others by yourself. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD ... For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future . Marriage is an institution, go and seek the Chancelor's (GOD) advise. |

sleit:you are.....don't talk about him....ehen let's continue reading ....."A virgin lady needs a bad, rugged guy to make her fall in love, a cool guy can hardly make a virgin lady fall in love" - Socrates 1913 ...."two cool couple don't last and love won't ever be balanced cos the lady will be craving for bad guys.....and this will make the man lose out".... Aristotle 1905 "Go get yourself a bad guy to yank off your clothes and show you how sweet it feels, and watch how your body will begin to respond and reciprocate to love, and then you will realize who you love and who loves you" - Adolf Hitler 1949 ....and thank me later ![]() |

You don't expect to get everything that will make marriage to work out He is an organized man as you have described him just that you are yet to develop love for him Have you compared being with a man that you soo much loved but lack the attributes of this guy Go and talk to yourself and develop love for him Men with such attributes are very rear Love doesn't just come from the sky, love develope with time and then nurtured to grow up |

sleit:Good evening sleit. What is love to you? What kind of man turns you on or are you attracted to? |
| Re: I Need Advice Before Taking The Huge Step Into Marriage. by BestDude: 12:35pm On Sep 30, 2018 |
baby124:she wasn't really talking about just marriage. Truth is women are genetically wired not to appreciate men who are so much in love with them... There is nothing any lady will say for me to believe otherwise. I have accepted this fact and I control my emotions before someone calls me names like pest, weakling, desperate. I see most as unappreciative. Loving you is a choice and it is like getting a gift you never asked for. There are only a few who can handle such and respectably turn a guy down. |

Listen to @victorian. Don't fall for the kind of 'love' Hollywood tries to sell to the world. And no, time/experience is not always the best way of learning! @balman sent you a PM. |
| Re: I Need Advice Before Taking The Huge Step Into Marriage. by baby124: 1:23pm On Sep 30, 2018 |
BestDude:You won’t need to hide your feelings from a woman that feels the same about you. Truth is people don’t feel the same about us all the time and that is ok. Maybe we were not meant to be a part of their journey in life. So just take the fact that the person is honest with you in thoughts or actions and move on. You can’t force someone to treat you how you think you should be treated. You may think you are the worlds best guy. But you may not be the guy who she needs to walk her journey with. Same happens to girls so we should all learn to just respect other people’s decisions and move on understanding that they know best what they want. |
