Interracial Relationship: Does He Really Love Me???? by littleduck(f): 6:56pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
Dear All, Ii took me a while to drop these two lines, but I need your opinion! In August I met on the internet a truly handsome Nigerian young man. We started exchanging mails and phone calls. Things were not that smooth at the beginning, but our "relationship" turned in something (maybe) more serious beginning of December. He is very nice, funny, I like to speak with him, and I feel "only too good" when he calls me and he wants to hear from me. Honestly, I think I am in love with him like a teenager I started to learn about his culture as much as I can, beyond what we get in our newspapers: I discovered a wonderful country, an incredibly fascinating culture, delicious food (I cooked my first Egusi soup a couple of weeks ago, I am very proud!). I have also learned a couple of Yoruba words. I am really trying to learn/understand as much as I can (music, cinema, history…). Of course, I also discovered this absolutely nice forum looking around for info about Nigeria. I am not famous, but I am a public person. I am a scientist, if I would give you two/three keywords about my work, you would find immediately my official homepage and know everything about me. So…Where is the point? I am European (white), older than him (I look pretty young but numbers are numbers), and I can't have children because of a past illness. Thus, when he says that he has true feelings for me and he would like to marry me if our relationship develops in the future, I feel uncomfortable. Although I would love that all this could become true. I told him I have never married anybody before. He said it is because it is destiny. I had to wait for him. Why destiny put the “supposed to be” man of my life so far away from me, it is certainly puzzling He said he told his family about me. If this is true, I would be the happiest woman on the world. I really have feelings for him and care a lot about him, but I do not see any perspectives for this "relationship". Plus, I am not sure he really likes me, maybe I am only a toy for him, or even worse So….just tell me what you think….I would really appreciate your opinion! THX |

if indeed the story is true as you are, i will suggest you post your write up in the family section for better feedback. Now, i dunno any full blooded african male, in this case a nigerian who would not want a child. Be-very-ware! 4 Likes 1 Share |

blublahd: Dear blublahd, thank you! I am "very true" and the story is true. I have not given all details (it would take a book... but it is a 100% true story) This is right the kind of answer I need. I need to understand but I do not have enough knowledge. I am still learning. However, one of the first things I understood is exactly the "child thing" you mentioned and this worries me a lot. This is also why I specified that point. |

littleduck:whats your type of scientist? And what knowledge do you need? I never knew they sell egusi ingredients in europe btw. |
Re: Interracial Relationship: Does He Really Love Me???? by littleduck(f): 7:36pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
Ipledge: here we go, my camera is not that great but I was so proud that I took a picture. I have watched all possible youtube video on egusi preparation, and there is an African shop that sells Nigerian food in my city, thus, I got all ingredients. I wrote I am a scientist, I cannot lie, sorry, it is a professional influence. 3 Likes

blublahd: I am a physicist, I study new materials for electronics I need cultural knowledge, in my country no man has problems with the fact I cannot have children, adoption is seen as a good way to have a family since in my case not even the most advanced medicine can help. Regarding Egusi, I can buy Nigerian food in my city and look below my picture |

Ipledge: nooooo, you are not too inquisitive ...... I have cooked the stock by myself I am not saying that my Egusi is perfect, i have done my best and I was proud, that's all I followed step by step a youtube video, after I watched 100s of them to understand exactly what I should buy and do... |
Re: Interracial Relationship: Does He Really Love Me???? by Nobody: 7:56pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
littleduck:you have possibly met all men in your city who arent bothered by it? and just because they are not, does not apply to an african man, a young one at that. I can bet you, any african mother wants to, at some point, carry her grandchild. Like i suggested earlier, this page would be better off in the family section. Your cultural knowlege could be best served there too. |

blublahd: I'll try to see how to move this there, I am not sure I know how to deal with it... anyway, "no man" was meant as you mean "any african mother wants to....." Also "any" European one likes to have grandchildren, but it is not a problem. Do you think it was funny for me when the doctors said that I had to undergo surgery and I would not have any children? I cried all my sorrow for years and it still hurts, but there are things that cannot be changed. |

OP, he may be real or wants to get some cash out of you or wants to use you to get foreign passport. So. Just watch out and be careful if he starts asking for money to treat his relative or himself or if he starts pushing for you to invite him and take him over even when you dont feel its time to do so. Watch his reaction when you say No to his cash or visa request and dont let love blind you. For all we know, he could be a girl posing as a guy. 3 Likes |

If he really loves you, you wouldn't be wondering at all if he does. But since he doesn't, you're left wondering the whole time if he do. 2 Likes |

imas: you know I told him I do not have money, just to avoid misunderstanding, as, unfortunately, your country is well known here because of that problem. I live on my own work that is very fascinating but nobody becomes rich with science as it belongs to the human kind, and so on .... but you are right, a greencard, for example, maybe always seen as a kind of reward... |
