My friend (28) met a girl recently she so much tripped for. He evenn talks about marrying the girl after she is through with school. the gal is in her finals in school.
Recently my friend discovered that the gal is 19 and since then he has been confused, if the relationship will last. To him the age difference is too much.... and he is not sure the girl will be ready for marriage when he will be. Confused, he is tinkin of quiting the relationship and looking for an older lady.... Follow Nairaland pls advise on what he should do.......

Age is no barrier on a man side what he needs to do is find out from the lady if she is ready for marriage anytime soon afterica school of course yourfriend should know if she is psychological fit and its their decision to make not ours. If they are truly in love, they can work things to suit themselves.

If he wants to quit, let him quit. A 28-year-old is old enough to make good decisions. The girl is in her finals at 19? Which school abeg? Higher institution? If yes, then i see no problem here.
Your friend just discovered her age? A 19-year-old? Hmmm.

So he did not know her age before and he was talking about marriage? talk another one

Are you kiddin me? Your friend wants to quit the relationship just beacuse he is 9 years older than the girl he loves? Well its true that we don't know what we have untill we lose it.. If they both love themselvs,then there is no problem continuing with the relationship.
But if he still wants to quit the babe, well make he try drop her number for me, na dat kind thing wey person dey like..

;DHer no is 08OLE OSHI........

It does not matter, age has got nothing too dok wif it, he still loves her he should stick too her.

he should wait for the girl to pass the gloom of youth or is he in a haste to marry?
If it's not quit long they met, they should get to become more of friends
till they are sure of what they feel for themselves.

In my opinion, they're not compatible (age wise).that age gap btw them may be a barrier, because d girl will not be as desperate as d guy toward marriage.

How do you date someone and not know her age?

Sail on, broda. Sail on!

for the fact that women age faster than men, the guy shouldn't have a problem with that age gap.
unless the girl in question is not ready for marriage

True

9 yrs difference? come on... considering girls mature faster, it ain't dat much. he isnt even ready now, i daresay she ll be ready wen he ll be, if she isn't already... so lyk dey say, ahead ahead
