Idowuogbo: Use ur common sense! Maid or no maids, clean up after urself and engage in any activities a normal cultured gal wud. Hian!!!
My dear, "cultured" is not a word that anyone will expect to see in a sentence written by you. So pardon me but I'm quite surprised.
And please stop sounding like a bitter old lady looking for somebody to quarrel with. It's very uncool. So Cool down, lay back and take a chilled glass of lemonade. Ok?

chess guru: reading all the advice being poured here, and all I can say is that "no wonder" some women change so much after marriage or their 1st child.
So all that perfect do good habit during courtship are premeditated. Its J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ a ruse for most women right. If this attributes truly reside in u, u won't b needing all this pointers.
Be yourself o jare. Any other thing is fakeness to the highest level.
Thanks! But obviously you ve never been in this kind of situation before. Else you would have understood how nervous I am. Perhaps you will understand how I feel when you are ready to meet your girl's parents......
But it's ok sha. You made sense.

Shollypopz: I'm scared for you, you want "it" too much, and I'm not sure it's for the right reasons but who cares.
What do you mean by "it"?
If it's sex, well, he's damn sexy, I'm attracted to him, same thing for him. so add up the chemistry. However, I'm too classy to throw myself at any man not willing to catch me. Besides, in this case I know the importance of zipping up and I'm going to be as careful as possible.
I love this guy a lot! Very much. And God knows it has little or nothing to do with his own money or family money and connections. In fact sometimes it even intimidates me! I will not want a man who has no future ambition but I'm not looking for a ready made man just a man who has ambition, skill, and a drive to succeed. This one came unexpectedly without me asking for it. Didn't even know about his financial/social status at first.

pleep: What the hell is a 'bed guy'?


Someone you are sleeping with?
LMAO! That's the name NLers give him when I talk about him!
He usually tells me "I'm going crazy with the thought of taking you here and now. But I don't know if I will keep on liking you this much if we have sex cos sex is no big deal to me. So I want to wait till I buy a bed"
RomanceRe: He Invited Me To Spend A Weekend With His Family by Sweetlemon(op): 7:22pm On Jan 06, 2013
lola.luv:
First impression is the lasting one. Smile pleasantly as you enter the house and be graceful and courteous.

The time when the mum is in the kitchen (if she cooks) is the time you could go offer to help her. She will probably refuse your help and instead involve you in a little tete-a-tete to know you better!

Get a seperate bedroom from his own (even though some cultures advocate that intending couples spend the night together).

Ask him to tell you about his family before you embark on the trip. Also talking about his experiences as a child with his parents and siblings, will go a long way in telling you the type of people they are and the kind of person he is!

Don't just hang with him alone. Sit with the family when they're seeing a movie, when having dinner, etc.

Be yourself.
Should I insist on helping with the cooking if they turn down my offer? They have maids who do the housework. If I try to help out with the work will it look like I'm trying too hard?
He's said some nice stuff about his family. But who doesn't say nice things about their family?? *sighs
As for sharing the same room with him, that wouldn't happen because we haven't even had sex yet.
RomanceRe: He Invited Me To Spend A Weekend With His Family by Sweetlemon(op): 7:01pm On Jan 06, 2013
I just have a strong feeling this visit will determine my final destination with him that's why I'm so nervous!
But why didn't he just start with a day's visit? Why a full weekend?? I'm happy about it but meeeen! It's so scary!

RomanceRe: The Most Romantic Statement You Can Tell A Nigerian Babe by Sweetlemon(f): 6:01pm On Jan 06, 2013
The most romantic thing a guy ever told me was "I'm going crazy with the urge to take you now and here. But I'm not sure I will still like you this much after having sex with you cos sex is no big deal to me. So I'm going to wait till I buy a bed"
RomanceRe: He Invited Me To Spend A Weekend With His Family by Sweetlemon(op): 5:50pm On Jan 06, 2013
candygosh: Its normal to get butterflies but I'd just give little tips.

* help out with whatever u can

* don't oversleep. Its not ur home so learn to wake before D real owners

* be nice

* never overdo things. If you know
for real you won't be running around doing this n that. Just be moderate so they wud know ur limits and won't be surprised if u change.

* light make up will do d trick

* be polite in addressing other member of d family even to the youngest.

* lastly and most importantly : be yourself.


I hope this helpsgrin grin grin

He hasn't formally proposed to me.
He's been more loving and caring each time we are together.
No sex yet. He still says he wants to buy a bed first (And that's why I'm so crazy about him)

Thank you my sister. How was your own experience? How long did you spend there? Were they nice to you? Did the mother tell you to cook for them or join her in the kitchen?
What scares me the most is that I will be spending a full weekend! I wish it started with a day's visit but one full weekend? lord help me! I'm so nervous!
RomanceRe: He Invited Me To Spend A Weekend With His Family by Sweetlemon(op): 5:04pm On Jan 06, 2013
Eze Promoe: [color=olive]Just be careful and be yourself. Something tells me the boy is a lil bit serious by inviting you to his family house. More comments are still coming that you wouldn't find impressive please just swallow it and don't make the thread turn to a warzone. Thanks, beauty! [/color]

The "bed guy" I have been talking about here has invited me to spend a weekend at his family house (with his folks)
Lord!
I'm so excited!
And I'm so scared! One minute I'm on top of the world, the next my tommy churns.
What if they are snobs? What if I do or say the wrong things?
What kind of clothes should I even take along with me?
Oh well, at the end I guess I'll just have to settle for being confident in myself.

Lol! I'm actually thinking of something like this! Not as as suggestive as this though but sexy and creative
BusinessRe: What Area Of Hospitality Can I Go Into? by Sweetlemon(op): 4:11pm On Jan 06, 2013
Brand_new: @bobo Yekini, I really don't think you have a full grasp of what you're saying.

@Op this is a kind of business I would love to do but for it's nature.
I know a guy who distributed light breakfast meals around Accra in a mini Van every morning. He offers a combination of snacks ,Oat meals and Koko. (The type that has Milk in it) . He got his packaging right and trust me his customers always look forward to his delivery.
I have another friend who set up a mini spot for smoothies he calls "Body fuel". He sells the Idea of a healthy fruit drink with pop corn and makes Quiet a lot of Sales.
Based on this tow guys experience, I think it's a very lucrative business which I believe a woman will excel in due to the feminine touch.
Left to me, I Wouldn't really dig serving local dishes in an office environment but would be perfect if you have a spot close to an office district. I'm pretty sure lots of people would stop by as long as the meals are good (white house in Yaba is a good example).
So I think the opportunities are boundless, all that is needed is a little bit of creativity.
I'm sending you a hug for this!
Thanks!
FamilyRe: Are Female Children Generous Than Males? by Sweetlemon(f): 8:20pm On Jan 05, 2013
To be sincere. Guys are more generous with cash towards their families but the girls give more attention and care. Many of my single male collegues spend a good amount of their salaries on their families. But the girls pay more attention to little things that actually mean a lot
RomanceRe: A Single Lady's Advice To Married Women! by Sweetlemon(f):
kulyie: theres nobody with a monopoly of knowledge,we all learn from each other regardless of marital status and as long as the person is saying something reasonable.nigerians should stop being sterotyped,so because a lady is single it means she knows nothing when it comes to marital issues
Don't mind them! That's the mentality of Nigerians. They look down on single people and say that we are not their "mates" lol!
Iv watched so many couples and I must say the op couldn't have been more correct. A lot of married women just relax after marriage. They feel that the journey is over not knowing that another fresh non-ending one has begun. Imagine tying wrappers at home or wearing iro and buba or loose bubus everywhere! Haba!
Some others send their hubby away with their jealous behaviours. Some others nag, and talk nonsense all the time. They know nothing about their hubby's job so they can't say things to advice or encourage him.
As a single lady I v learned that men will forever be moved by what they see. So please ladies work on your looks ALL the time even as you work on adding more value to your man's life by being a good FRIEND him. That way, he ll want to hang out with you as often as or even more often than he hangs out with the boys.
Cheers!
