As much as I agree with you, he might be better off taking his sexcapade [mistake] to the grave with him.

That would have been a more plausible suggestion if the pregnant girl in question wasn't his fiance's sister, it's just too messy, if he manages to keep shut about it, can he guarantee that the sister won't? And what about the baby in question, will the sister abort the baby without a word to anyone in her family, anyone she may be close to such as her own sister i.e. the fiance?

Hmm, hmm. . undecided

If you will cheat on your wife if she gains weight, who's to say you won't when she's pregnant with your child??

I would run away from you if you told me outright that you would cheat.

I guess your definition of love is not deep at all.

Everyone has preferences, but I naively thought that could overcome them.

Imagine if a woman came on Nairaland to tell us that she would leave her husband if he lost all his hair.

People can lose their hair, due to stress, same with gaining weight, so in that period of stress is when your spouse who should be supporting you is cheating on you.

sad
Romance / Re: I Hammered My Fiancee's Sister By Mistake by topup: 9:05am On Dec 21, 2009
You should probably come clean with your fiance, because she deserves better. She deserves loyalty, and peace of mind knowing that her to-be husband is able to be faithful to her - which you haven't proven.

I think every action has a consequence and unfortunately, the consequence for this might be losing your girlfriend. Give her the opportunity to make the decision to stay or leave you, don't lie to her behind her back, because she will probably find out someway anyway.

If you're genuinely interested in her and she is in you, time will show this.

Romance / Re: Hey! Women What Do You Think About Virgin Guys? by topup: 8:16am On Dec 21, 2009
(Check my post above tongue)

I think I know a guy like this (but hope he forgives me if I'm utterly wrong about this). He went to an all boys high school all the way until he came to university 3 years ago.

He's a good boy, so he never wanted to disobey or go to the extremes his classmates were going to to try and have sexual encounters with girls.

I think it's cool, but right now, I think it's his shyness that's really the deciding factor. I think a virgin guy is only attractive to me if he has a strong reason why he is abstaining, and it can't just be because he hasn't had the opportunity, because that says little about his character, but it could hint at some weakness.


Being shy is not a weakness, but it certainly is if a person lets that get in the way of what they want to obtain in life.

He's so friendly, but at the moment I'm struggling to grasp his personality, he seems a little reserved, and finds me extremely interesting to speak to, but I don't know if it's because I'm a nice girl who's great at holding conversation or because he likes me - that's where the problem can come in. Shy or nervous guys aren't so clear on their signals, because they are always that bit more reserved, but that doesn't mean that they are any less of a guy smiley.

Romance / Re: At 21 Still A Virgin by topup: 9:15am On Dec 17, 2009
That's a tough decision, even being a girl, it can be difficult because you could get the impression that the other person would view you different, all these stereotypes and connotations that come with the word.

I mean some would even think that you had 'problems'.

I guess, what is impressive is finding out every guy's reasoning, as long as it's not something like; "I was too scared." etc.
Romance / Re: Angry Black Woman - Fact Or Myth? by topup: 9:10am On Dec 17, 2009
Black people are seen as aggressive and angry anyways. For men, this anger is challenged into a stereotype of 'wild sex beast' 'passionate' 'dominating' characters that can be sexy in a relationship, but for women unfortunately, no one* wants a 'wild' or 'dominating' woman, so it's seen as unattractive an negative.

I think the only thing I've noticed is that Africans are generally fair in distribution of personalities, from meek to wild, I mean if we wanted to stereotype, we could even say all Italians are loud and rude, based on a holiday in Rome, or we could say all british people are CHAVS based on a visit to a low-end council-estate area.

We all have choices.

As for the ABW, we are human at the end of the day, I believe the term refers to the widely portrayed character of the 'ghetto woman' and her no good for nothing cheating boo. I choose to see it as a character, much like the Californian ditzy dumb blonde character you also see in movies. This doesn't mean that all black women are ABWs nor does it mean that all blonde-haired American women are dumb and one-dimensional.

Or am I being naive here??

Romance / Re: "I Am In Love With My Sister's Husband" by topup: 8:44am On Dec 17, 2009
You're not in love with him, because what you seem to believe is love, is this Romeo and Juliet version, where the lovers can't be together but so desperately want to be.

If you're having sexual urges or lusts towards him, it's something you can fight, love is different, you can love someone but not wish to have sex with them or even do anything but be compasionate towards them.

My advice follows morals, and if you're not the shoulda-coulda-woulda type of person, who prefers to experience and learn from mistakes than to avoid making them, then you'll take it.

I think it would be very good for you to leave your sister's house as soon as possible. I am assuming that you are unmarried, and if you are, think about the kind of situation are you getting yourself into, when you could find a man of your own. I am not blaming you, because like you mentioned, he's been making advances at you for ages, which should have been warning bells to leave that place as soon as possible.

There is a child involves, a family member, YOUR SISTER.

If you two do anything, you will be as bad as him, and possibly even worse, because you were there watching the progress as he continued to woo you.

Seriously, it's NEVER worth it, I wouldn't be surprised if one night he corners you, and you both have unprotected sex at which you return to Nairaland to ask for advice about the pregnancy. Seriously, this is damaging, leave the house, and cut all contact with him. If your sister asks for an explanation just make up an excuse, it's probably time for you to move on anyways, so you could just use that as an excuse.

*edit* I believe in a reply, you mentioned that he has a spare key which he has been using to sneak into your room and have sex with you.

Last question: this isn't rape is it? When he enters the room, do you just lay there and comply? Are you sexually frustrated yourself, do you only remember the implications when you wake up in the morning, but enjoy the act when it happens. The more honest you are the easier you will come to solving your problem. I am sure any woman who was being repeatedly raped, would willingly pack her bags and go home.

Romance / Re: We Broke Up Without A Quarrel.......But! by topup: 8:31am On Dec 17, 2009
I completely agree with Olanajim, now there is a possibility that the poster has left vital information which could convince me that he did not overstep any boundaries and that the girl in question was really infact playing games, playing hard to get, being a drag, or indecisive. However, I am still awaiting that information because from what I have read, the guy seems to be making ALL the decisions (and not very good ones at that).

I am not saying he should wait for the girl, in fact his brief introduction of the other girl (option no. 2) convinces me that he is definitely not waiting.

Let me be honest, from a female perspective, if I was the girl you were trying to nab initially, I would have done exactly the same, it seems to me that you have completely forgotten the element of free will. Let me give you an example. One day during my holidays, a friend of mine called me to tell me that one of our mutual friends (whom she was best friends with) really really liked me, and that he was almost in love with me. Shocked and surprised I doubted her, "the same guy, who admitted that he was smitten with another friend?" "YES!!" My friend exclaimed, "he likes you a lot, I've spoken to him he really likes you, and would probably try and make a move when he sees you next."

Throughout the conversation I found myself making excuses as to why 'this couldn't be.' Why he couldn't possibly like me, especially after it being a few months after his crush with two other friends of mine (the friends rejected him because he had other girls also in mind too).
Eventually I thought; "why am I even thinking about this, I don't even like the guy." the important part being in bold <<.

The girl being referred to by this poster, probably wasn't even thinking about romance when this guy approached her, since she did not 'jump' to become girlfriend/boyfriend upon his request and he even mentioned that she is 'so shy', shy girls take things much slower, which usually filters out the guys who were only there for the here and now anyway, any long term guy would be more committed. And also who's to know if she might have even had a crush on some other guy.

Back to my story; when I did bump into the guy, I noticed he was acting extremely flirty, mind you I had seen bumped into this guy from time to time over a year, and he had not really made any efforts to even befriend me (and he is not shy - infact he's extremely popular). I noticed he was complimenting me, looking at me a lot, and hugging me, and then he was leaning in and trying to dance with me (seductively). After an awkward night my friend explained to me, that he had planned to kiss me that night. For a moment a school girl giggle came over me, this popular guy was into me, but then I remembered that I don't even like him, but more importantly, I hadn't had the time to even think of liking him, to learn to like him, to get to know him.


Whenever I did get excited about news of his progressing crush on me, I was excited, but then it quickly faded because I realised that I was trying to convince my heart that I liked him. As soon as I realised this I stopped really acknowledging him and what do you know, about a month later, he was in a serious relationship with another girl, seems like he didn't even notice that I wasn't responding.

Poster
you seem like the guy I described, you seem to have a lot of backups and plans in attempt to get from A to B (and these plans don't involve the other person's input - which is weird), and if this girl can see through your game, kudos to her.

I wonder what the current situation is with 'backup'/girl no. 2
Romance / Re: Dating A Virgin; Profit Or Loss 4 D Guy? by topup: 8:11am On Dec 17, 2009
Come on now!! Are virgins creatures, or are they humans, please if you live your life on stereotypes, you will have an extraordinary amount of surprises along the way.

A few to list are:
"all men cheat."
"men are liars."
"women are liars."
"non-virgins are promiscuous."
"virgins are duller in the bedroom."

If you are able to communicate with your girlfriend pretty well, or the friend you're interested in, then you can probably judge what will happen after marriage. Though I might seem like I don't understand tradition, there really is NO hurry, and it's extremely unadvisable to propose based on statuses e.g. wealth, virginity ,

A wealthy person still has the ability to be stingy and a virgin still has the potential to be promiscuous, however, it is impossible to guarantee that either would be the case. Just open your eyes and ears, listen well and take time to notice things about the person you're interested in, whilst their guards are down i.e. in a friendship.
Romance / Re: I Am Tired Of My Girl: I Need Advise by topup: 8:05am On Dec 17, 2009
At least you're smart enough to put 1 + 1 together, and find out what the conclusion of all her lies adds up to, but you seem to lack courage. What are you scared of, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, people will take advantage of those of us who lend ourselves too much.

I think you should become more aware of your actions, and expect the same treatment you give. Okay, I understand she may not be able to give you money in return for that you've already given her, but she isn't even given you time, love or affection, these things are free and they can count for a lot more than a note can.

Please, guard yourself, but most of all be smart. When things start to bring you to tears, that is where you should draw the line. I mean, have you even made her upset? Have you done wrongs in the past that equate to what she's doing to you? This relationship is definitely NOT 50:50.

I really sympathise with you, and I think it's clear for everyone to see that she is not right for you, but one relationship in which you have allowd yourself to be manipulated for her own advantage doesn't at all count towards all the others which you have yet to have.
Seriously, not every woman is the same. There are women on this forum telling the exact same story but saying that 'all men are the same'.

You being a generous, loving, giving man, I wouldn't think you would fall into the category that these women talk about, so have hope that there are women out there who also don't fall into the category that your ex does. Yes, I said ex, because she stopped being a girlfriend to you, a long time ago.

You need to regain respect, I think some damage has been done already, and I don't really believe that this relationship can be salvaged, since her impression of you would probably always remain the same, since you two have been dating for years. The only thing to do is to focus on yourself, leave her, and focus on being happy with yourself.

I don't agree in unmarried men giving their girlfriends an allowance. Is that the price of love - especially if the man is in a position where he doesn't have this money to waste!! I really don't understand why girls accept this money, they don't realise that the more they take the cheaper they are appearing, ironic really.

Anyways, all the best to you.
God Bless.

It's okay, you'll learn what a true girlfriend should be hopefully in your next relationship.

Romance / Re: Girls Say I'm Neat To A Fault. What Should I Do? by topup: 1:54am On Dec 03, 2009
It's SO NOT OCD!! I do the same thing, I was raised in a house without HOUSE GIRLS, where my brother and sister had to make sure that we cleaned up after ourselves.

Some adults still struggle to do this.

I guess some people prefer to do a big clean after they've messed everything up, this reminds me of my roommate, who splatters food into the microwave and then every 2 weeks will de-scum it, whilst for me I'll wipe away any spills when I take my food out.

I think cleaning after yourself is a great thing, a guy like you would make cleaning and living in the home much more restful.

What's wrong with that??

C2H5OH:

Your double rant of frustration does show that you care. There are no maybes about something so obvious.  It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.  You are desperately trying to paint this boy black for not making the first move while you sat glued to your chair.  You were dying for his attention, yet you refused to assert yourself.  Are you still stuck in the past.  I'm a bit curious to know what prevented you from making a move?

You are venting and documenting his every action at the restaurant as if you were assigned to investigate him or something.  Are you a spy or what?   I just like asking questions.

Lol, quite the interogator.

Romance / Re: . by topup: 7:02pm On Nov 30, 2009
topup:

Awwwwww. . sorry.

Ok, well this isn't as embarrasing but it definitely made me cringe.

I met a guy during one session at school, who happened to be the only other Nigerian in my group, we had a long conversation at which we ignored the other group members and talked about our pasts and I learnt a lot about a stranger, I even learnt that he worked in a restaurant near where I lived, (and there are about 4 of those restaurants in my city which is why I have never bumped into him), an unusual conversation indeed, where we both found out what we had in common and had a lot of common ground - he even said he'd invite me to his birthday party, before he left we both agreed to keep in touch via an online site. I smiled smugly, I had made a friend, and this friend was cute too and seemed (even just a little) interested in me - if just my personality.

Well, the next day my sister and friend had had a fun day of shopping and were so hungry, so we decided to go out for a meal, and upon entering a restaurant, I thought "Imagine if he was in here, working today." and what do you know he was. I initially played it cool, and joked with my friends, pretending I had not noticed him, and then as we approached where he was sat, I looked to say hi, but instead he just had his face glued to his mobile phone, and looked quite embarrased and stiff, which made things awkward. I knew we both recognised each other, but I was stuck in that state where you don't know how to undo the awkwardness.

Anyways I ordered my food, and my friend annoyingly chose a table directly infront of him, and I sat trying not to make a fuss, and thought, there'll be another chance to say hi, and explain that this was merely coincidence, but there never was, he disappeared behind the kitchen and worked towards the rear of the counter, far away from us. He never said hi, and also it's been about 3 days since now and he hasn't added me on his online site, and I know I will bump into him again, since we have the same lecture, and I'm just left thinking "what was that all about. Aren't we mature adults. Why are we ignoring each other".

I don't think I'll be getting any invites to his birthday party anytime soon lol!!
*sigh*

Life!

Part 2, he came over today to speak to a girl who was stood near me, and then I was just pretending I couldn't see him, as I thought he'd be awkward and want to pretend he'd never met me lol. Anyways I caught him looking at me through the corner of his eye, and then when I looked, he looked back and smiled, instantly I said "I saw you at work." and he was like "What!! You should have come over and said hi." and then I was like "I didn't want to appear like a stalker." and he looked baffled.

All the certainties I had before just disappeared, maybe he didn't see me when I walked past him twice and paused infront of him, maybe he really was glued to his mobile (though he was chatting with the girl next to him too at work). But I knew he would have seen me when I was sat for about an hour eating inside the less than a half full small restaurant, but I don't care though, all I know that he cared enough to 'find' some excuse/explanation, which works.

Life is too short lol!!

what is wrong with that? is it not better than closing her eyes, atleast that way you guys can have eye contact

Are you kidding me, have you tried staring at someone's eyes within an inch's distance, tell me that is a sight to behold, the blurriness, the third eye that appears on the forehead, enough to make anyone burst into a fit of laughter.

Depending on the mood, the eye contact can make it sensual, but it can also be quite intense too. It's not the most romantic way to kiss, but then again, everyone's different.
Romance / Re: My Girlfriend Kisses With Her Eyes Open! by topup: 5:04am On Nov 29, 2009
Awwww I thought the part about her "big gorgeous eyes" so so romantic smiley.

It does seem strange to me, and yes it would creep me out too, make me feel like I'm being watched and especially when kissing can tip into the realm of silliness, it would be nice if both pairs of eyes were closed to minimise the pressure.

I wonder why she does not want to close her eyes, I think maybe she might feel silly with her eyes closed, but I think maybe she's missing the point, both of you would be so preoccupied with the sensation that won't care about whether you are watching something or not.

Maybe kiss with the lights down low instead?? Though that could lead onto things tongue
