The age gap is not the issue, its the maturity.

For example, a man of 45 years can marry a woman of 30 years old and no one with see it as abnormal.

So the difference between an 18 years old girl and a 33 years old man is her maturity, and the consent of those who loves her, such as her guardians.

This is the kind of situation where arranged marriage is very important, because the responsibilities of vetting you properly is not something the 18 years old girl is matured or experienced enough to do herself.

With such maturity gap, there is a risk that an irresponsible man will find it easy to manipulate and marry a naive girl who lack the life experience to hold him able on anything, especially when it comes to providing and treating her good.

So if you must marry her, make sure it includes traditional marriage, which will involves all her family , and their participation is an evidence to the approval of your union.

So not just court marriage that involves few people which you can recruit yourself.

Thanks alot for the advice Sir, Like i mentioned earlier, she is really mature for her age and her mum knows me very well and I've also told her my intentions towards her daughter. I also do help the mum with funds sometimes.

So, since you're sure with all the convictions you have that she's the one for you, why are you then here seeking for validation or second opinion?

If the majority of people here dissuade your motive about the girl, would you go ahead with their opinions?

You seem to have misconstrued life choices at 33.
I really don't see the need for your last paragraph, but anyways, a second opinion wouldn't hurt will it? And besides I'm the one to make the final decision so I need every available opinion i could get as this is a life long journey I'm about to embark on.

i’ll be honest with you, dead any feelings you have for that girl. they are emotionally unstable, and very confused set of girls, but if you’re willing to wife and get her pregnant within the next six months, i’ll say go ahead, if you’re looking for long term, just abort mission for your own sanity.
Bro, this girl is very different and way matured above most of her peers. When she told me her age i couldn't believe and thought it a joke until i came across her birth certificate.

I will do as stated Sir, already making plans to that effect. Thanks alot 🙏

If the age of consent is 13, some men will do it... There is pedophilic nature in this thing, nothing like she is acting mature

Yes she is the one for me, I just needed other people's opinion on the matter thanks 🙏

About furthering education. That will wait for a while. She is very understanding, cooperative and Obedient
If you're sure she's the one for you, you do not need the opinions of others to validate this for you...... Already, you've been advised to expect some unexpected as she grows into adulthood, marriage is not for kids that might still want to explore (she's just getting into proper teenage when she realizes her real self); you've been warned 🤔🤔🤔

Leave the innocent young girl alone to enjoy her childhood and teenage years. I know it's her pointed breast and tight tender skin that is pushing you. Look for girls that are ready for marriage, she has not discovered herself. If I know you I will arrest both you and the long throat mother that is collecting money to sell her young daughter to evade responsibility of sending her to school for further studies

Like the topic implies I've been dating this girl for almost a year now and we are about to take it to the next level.

She recently finished her waec while I'm a graduate and served since 2017. I am 15 years older than her

Is the Age gap too much to call it quits?

Nairalanders help me pls

Nlfpmod please i need wider audience before i take my final decision.

The girl should determine what's her choice. Let me elaborate on this, at 18 a girl is mature enough to know what she would want in a man and what she doesn't want and age gap included. If she is hasn't gained ission, give her time to settle that and guide her, school changes ladies a lot. By the time she is in maybe in her second year, you will know where you belong. I'm a woman, and from experience, I chose a man that I wanted not the other way round.

Age doesn't matter in a relationship.....that's not what you should consider...

1. Fear of the lord
2. Intelligence
3. Character
4. Appearance
Then Compatibility

Forget age difference but wait patiently... let her learn skills so as to be ive... might affect you in the future.

At your current ages, it's somehow.... Looks like you want to take advantage of her

But if you were older (say you are 50 and she's 35) it won't look somehow cos you are both matured.

My guy is 41 dating a girl of 20.

The 20 y/o girl is giving my guy the peace that his 35 y/o wife never gave him.

He may marry the girl in 2-3yrs time according to him.
