Is International/long-distance Dating Possible Without Getting Scammed? by Primrose91(f): 7:46am On Oct 31, 2014 |
Over the last few years I have come to the conclusion that I would like to marry a Nigerian or at least an African man. I love the good manners, work-ethic, intelligence, and family values that we are known for. Can you guys and girls offer me advice about how to initiate things or even if this is realistic? I come from a very conservative family where dating was not spoken about, so I am clueless about how Nigerians back home conduct their love lives. I attached a picture of what my area looks like. 1. Is it hard for Christian women in their early to mid-20s to date? 2. Are people still waiting until they're married to engage in intercourse? 3. What does the average Nigerian guy find attractive? (I know tastes vary, but a good height, weight, other attributes of personal appearance) 4. Life abroad can be very hard without having a degree or profession that can transfer. Are most professional men married? If not where can I meet a medical/engineering student? I welcome all comments, thanks in advance. ![]()

Go outside and socialise in your geographical location, you will either find the kind of man you want or the man that wants your kind will find you. Keep away from overseas dating! |

oseiwe: Most guys are either married, gay or racist lol. Dating someone from back home is just another option I am considering. Everyone seems so skinny though ![]() I figure I can also meet new people on here and catch up on current events. |

I met an exchange student from Nigeria. He had previously studied in the UK and I found him really nice to talk to. Unfortunately, I was just not attracted to him because he was so tall and skinny, like 6'3 (191 cm) and 180 pounds(82 kg) if that. I'm 5'5 (165cm) so it was like being in the presence of a giant. Am I too shallow? |

3cycle:self-service? On a blurred picture? ![]() Back to the topic.... On second thought, you could come visiting. Many fun places here plus you'd get to meet your guy in person. I don't advice distance relationship. Too much wahala. |

Tymax: The last time I went back home I was 14 and things were pretty safe, I did not want to leave. I am a bit worried about my safety now. Where are the hangout spots for young, God-fearing, singles? |

Primrose91: 1- it is not hard. 2- Test driving is a universal lifestyle, it has nothing to do with your location. Yes, you can find a man that can wait till marriage but they are always in the minority. 3- You said it yourself. Taste varies, don't bother about that. 4- You can find them in schools. You did not address the title in your post> "Is International/long-distance Dating Possible Without Getting Scammed?" Don't pay him for any stuff and you won't be a victim. |

Tymax:But you could tell I was fat and short from a blurred picture? Tell me more |
Re: Is International/long-distance Dating Possible Without Getting Scammed? by Primrose91(f): 9:25am On Oct 31, 2014 |
jmoore: I asked those questions to see what the dating climate is like and to get an idea about whether anyone would ever be interested in me. I just feel like I missed the opportunity to date because studying and doing well in school is my priority. As far as being scammed, I would hate for someone to lie to me about their lives or personal values. I would never send money to a stranger, just a Christmas card and cookies lol. |

Primrose91:I'm afraid we don't have such "dedicated" hangouts. Most young and single christians meet in church/church programs- especially concerts. There are a few great general hangout spots here in lagos like: The Palms Mall, Ikeja mall and Silverbird galleria. As for safety, Lagos is generally safe. |

Primrose91:How can you call someone who is athletically fit as skinny? ![]() It's like you don't like six packs! ![]() Traditionally, start off as friends, then decide if you wanna continue but meeting people socially in real life is far better than e-love. I know what my brothers can do. |

oseiwe: Sorry if I offended you, the guy was just skinny though, no muscle. I prefer that my potential mate be able to easily carry me to safety if I faint during a fire lol. Meeting people in person does not happen anymore, unless through mutual friends. I just moved to a new town and it's hard to meet people who are not alcoholic or promiscuous. |

If you can't help the one you truly love with financial means in any small way you can when He's in need then It's not love...I am not saying you shouldn't be wise..I am just saying that you should be able to support the one you love in any way you can,It takes time to trust someone you've not met people but I've seen people that met online and later got married..One of my aunty is a living proof..Besides you can upload your photos so we can at least see how you look..That's not too much to ask.. ![]() ![]() |

If you must fall in love with someone you met online, make sure you take your brain along with you. You seem to know what you want but meeting the right person is the ish. Well..... Look in the right places, be intuitive and make use of referrals they help. Cheers |

Yeah, I mean at this point I just need practice as far as talking to guys. I feel like my interests might not be in the "mainstream". I am afraid to post my picture on this site, what if my family sees it and makes fun of me lol. |

Re: Is International/long-distance Dating Possible Without Getting Scammed? by Primrose91(f): 8:00am On Nov 03, 2014 |
LEAFLET: I don't know, maybe they will say that I should not be online, talking to strangers about how to improve my love life or lack thereof. I posted a picture, I guess anyone can see how hideous I am now...Oh well I will take it down soon. ![]() |
Re: Is International/long-distance Dating Possible Without Getting Scammed? by oseiwe(m): 8:01am On Nov 03, 2014 |
Primrose91:The guy online might also be promiscuous and alcoholic too. There are good people everywhere, start from your college. |
