Luckygurl: Thanks. Your contribution was on point. The best is just to remain a neutral friend and see what happens next. Chances are that the feelings will die a natural death. I will do what is right, God helping me. |

Re: She's 17 And I'm 30; Do I Stand A Chance With Her? by kepstone: 1:14pm On Dec 28, 2015 |
Hmmmm. Bro. I will give you my own advice in the best way possible from all angle, couple with real fact examples. You are a doctor good. 1. Marriage is not for children, its for matured people 2 matured individuals who are matured. Maturity: I mean 2 people who are physically matured, emotially matured, spiritually matured, socially matured, sexually matured, financially matured. If you can harmonized this then you are compatible enough to marry. From what I see you just met her and hormones has gotten part of you that made you so attracted to her. Love is not a feeling love is foundation, you are a christian, the love of Christ was never a feeling it was a foundation for us to know what the real love of the father is, Jesus is d very epitome of what love is. Never you allow feeling to rule your relationship, that's why today we have many marriages build on the wrong foundation, hence they come down crashing. I tell you this feeling will not sustain you in the storms of life and marriage. Marriage is covenant love and not feeling, just as christ covenanted himself to love the church and he died for her. You ideal marriage as a christian is to reflect christ and his church. Give love time, clear your head from your emotional high and come to the reality of life. I am 30 as well and I have for the past 4years defined love to myself what it means to me and what it means to God. I am I have come to realise its not feeling, this feeling normally want after a year. Sit down and ask yourself this question about love. Until you know what love is to you and to God and to a woman, bro you are not set to marry, I don't care how much you have in your Account. 2. She may not be matured enough to understand what relationship and marriage is. The girls is just 17 for crying out loud. I myself don't do minors. No matter how d attraction is I kill it. You think you are compatible because she is nice to you. She may just be nice by her disposition. Does she know what love is, does she have the understanding of what marital commitment is, does she knows what covenant is. Now she is yet to get into school, I tell you every year her life will change in school, her idealogy and philosophy will change while in school. She will meet people, she is at the stage of her life right now she is trying to know herself, define who she is and map out the route she will take in life. She will want to date and hang out with a lot if guys, she will want to be experience and in this quest to know and to explore, she will meet the good and the bad, her total commitment to you will not be guaranteed bro. I have been through campus and I have seen sad issue like this that ended up in pain and betrayal. At this your age you need to think well and pray well. You said maybe God brought you together so as to build her up. Bro I tell you gals of this age are the most opionated individuals, why they are at the stage of developing there minds, working on he to align with your dream and vision will take the next 5 years. Will you want to wait. Think wisely. My elder brother joe, got a gal of 18 while he was at your age. He did everything to make sure she is OK but later after all he spent she left him and married and alhaji. Uche my friend trained a girl in uniport and he spent like 4million on her yet she came out if school as a graduate at 20 yes she gave him flimsy excuse why they can not marry, he wanted to build her up. My own I have. Gal now she is 20and I want to build her up but I have not spent much on her only 1% of my money cos I want to know if she truly loves me and not disappoint me, she is messing up real time. Bro there is no guarantee, pls pray. 3. Girls of her age have tendency not to respect you. Yes very true. I have seen them I have handle them, you need a wife that can submit and respect you, submission is not in age gap but understanding what submission is, that's what make submission possible. Most of them will disrespect you in a polite manner or even outrightly to insult your ego and that hurts. Respect is not in yes sir, kneeling down. Respect is in admiration, does she admire your qualities, respect is in esteem, does she highly esteemed you not becos of age difference, does she have honour to your character. Does she respect you when you don't have money to satisfy her need or lust. Think wisely and pray well. 4. Does she look like someone who is purpose driven and willing to work on herself. Bro you need a woman that can be purpose driven and be willing to work, not just office work, to work on the relationship, doe she understand your own purpose and willing to align with your purpose as much as you want to align with hers,. Does she support you well enough when you are down, when you are up. What's her role in your life as regards to purpose which your life represent. If she is not willing to be part if it I don't care about her curves her face, her breast, bro nothing for you. Do you think this 17 year old gal will give this to you. Never marry base on assumption she will fall in place as my supporter in life. A woman or a gal that will do that in the future will show some trait in courtship or relationship. Think well and pray well. 5. Character define who we are What's her character like... Humans are very pretentious I tell you. Take time and see her true character unfold. I don't mean asking people about her character, you do your home work and see if her character is what you want your future kids to have. Beauty is deceitful but the woman that fears the lord she shall be praise. If the character is questionable please think wise and pray well. We are not perfect I know, but you have to ascertain someone character before you head to d alter. And at this her stage she is still in the early years of her character development. Think well and pray well. 6. Will she value your investment in her Bro this is possible to work out between you and this gal as long as there is mutual understanding and value. Will she value your investment of your time money, prayer, sacrifice. Will she understand that you are a medical doctor and can be very busy when she needs you. Will she see that she has a future with you and not you been her mega sponsor in life through her educational years in school. She has to truly come to a place were by the little or much you do is valued. Ensure you know will she be ready for marriage when she is 20 years or a serious relationship with any guy, some want to build a stable career for like 5_years before tiring the north, oh sorry knot. And by then you will be 35+ upward. Can you wait. Never spend beyond 1% of your money on any gal you have not wife no matter how sexy or pretty she think she is, never you allow your spendig be from your emotions. There has to be balance. There has to be mutuality. You are not stingy you are just been careful and wise. Spending too much is what brings heart breaks in relationships. Let her know what you can do for her till you wife her then you can give her the whole world.Think well and pray well. 7.God factor. Is she I touch with GOD. The fact she is an usher In Church does not mean she is in touch with GOD. Please ascertain her relationship with GOD. I am not saying she must be spirit koko, but just ensure she has a sweet commitment with Jesus and she is dedicated to him first of all and then to the church. Seek the face of God let him lead you. Yes GOD has not stop giving wife's to his sons and husbands to his daughters, marriage is bigger decision than you think, so don't just leave it at your intellect level. Please involved him. Pray well. Haven said all this if you feel a strong desire to go ahead and the spiritual coast is clear and you have his approval please go ahead and be friends with her, wait till she is matured enough like 21 to wife her. But there are more beautiful single matured girls who you can relate with nd you will find true love not desperate love seeking to marry only. Wish you all the very best in your search and choice.

hmmmmmmm...first of all i commend the op for being a V. keep up the good work back to the topic. op the girl is too young and its to early to really define ur attraction, u cn be infatuated u knw, the tendency of something happening btw u both is very slim cos the age gaps and ofcos their parent wont approve a relatnship for their 17 year old daughter i wouldnt myself. if she was 20yrs dats fair enough myself i love a 10 year age gap btw myself and my spouse. but 13years is a no no no but wen u talk of 20/30 or 25/35 its fair enuf. so two things switch off ur emotions cos nothing can come out of ur emotions so their is no point or wait for her to get to 20 aleast if u love her too much nd dat still depends if the parent will accept the age gap. btw dis lady does she love u??.....wat if she doesnt imagine i like a guy who is jst one year ahead of me, nd i switched off my emotions against it cos to me he is too young and i cnt marry a guy who is a year ahead of me. so knowing fully well dat its a waste of our time nurturing the feeling. i blocked jst wen it started. wish u well op 1 Like |

daretodiffer: How am I sexist. Show 20 guys two women. All things being equal 90% of those men will always go for the younger person for a variety of reasons; statistically its called confidence interval. in western society and more recently in Nigeria men began to be age shamed and name called pedophile pervert etc. so if u were to try to name call me it would fall into ageism not sexism. |

To the OP, no man can say Jesus is Lord save by the Holy Ghost. in the same way no two people can get married save by the Holy Ghost. God has to be in the initiator. Pray about it. Once God approves, carry ur blessing de go. this is my best advice. Lust based marriage are soon regretted. However attractiveness is still a selection factor. 1 Like |

Thank you so much, Kepstone. Wow, you really took your time to write such a detailed note to me. I appreciate your kind and godly concern. May God bless you abundantly, and may you continually go from strength to strength, in Jesus name. I actually have a fairly clear understanding of most of what you listed. There is no way on earth that I can sustain a relationship with any girl that my whole spirit and soul isn't in agreement with. In the case I presented, there was nothing to suggest that she was below 23 when I first saw her. If it was obvious, I wouldn't have even approached her in the first place. It was after I got to know her age that I started wondering if was okay for me to anticipate loving her, considering what I felt and got to know about her. My concern has been that if I become friends with her, she appears suitable on most grounds for relationship and I develop true love for her, will it be considered right to wife a girl as young as that? Frankly, deep within me, something tells me that I can't pull it through. I'm not really naïve when it comes to relationship. I've had a great relationship before which lasted for years, but things didn't work out. It was partly my fault anyway. I guess I've been kinda desperate in recent times, looking for a girl who will be as good a friend as the one I lost. I guess I've been desperately looking for another confidant, friend and lover. I will do what is right, anyway. I won't disappoint God. I will deliberately keep a distance, and if somehow something stronger connects us together in the future beyond my personal efforts, then I will confidently tell myself that it is the hand of God. Thanks once again. |

I think it's wrong that you somehow seem to think that you "deserve" a 17 year old, just because you're a virgin. Odd and wrong. Anyways, men that can even fall in love with girls that young tend to be sillier....... Meaning you don't care about education, maturity, wisdom; all you care about is youth. God help you. The girl has very silly parents if they will accept you (unless of course she's from a poor family, because poverty creates desperation), because no father that wants anything great for his daughter will allow her to court, marry, or wait for a 30 yr old guy while she is just 17. I know mine wouldn't. So basically, good luck to you, and the relationship you hope to form is inappropriate |

MrsPhyno: Okay, thanks for your contribution. I actually didn't imply that I deserved her because I'm a V. I mentioned my status cos somebody opined that I was just interested in sëx. Also I didn't say I had already concluded on dating her. I was only concerned that if a good friendship remains between us and considering how I feel about her, I may start wishing for it. Chances are that she may also be comfortable about it. Anyway, I knew within me that it wasn't going to work even before asking the questions. Even if all those that commented supported me, I don't think I'd still be able to make it happen. It's just that I felt very bad when she told me her age. If she looked that young when I saw her I would never have even approached her. Don't worry, I've actually decided to let go. 1 Like |

That is a relationship sacrilege. Lol Well, I don't think such a relationship can last at all. She's just too young, and for now, her focus will be on her studies. I pray God will give you the kind of girl you deserve, if your intentions are genuine. If not, be ready for real heartbreak. Bros, are you a doctor for real? Ah ah, na im you dey hustle for underage. Mtcheeww!! Just collect one nurse for your hospital nau. MrsPhyno (my love ) believes women like doctors, so if you open your eyes well, you will see a lot of ladies. Good luck in your quest. |
