  • Talk To Steph: Who Should I Marry?

    Hello Stephanie,

    I’m in a very difficult situation now and I hope your readers can help me out.

    I am 28 years-old and I have a boyfriend I have been dating for three years. We met in the University and started dating the year we graduated. The thing is he has been finding it very difficult getting a good job to help him settle down and start a family, but I’ve been very supportive and hoping things will get better for him. He also has some younger siblings that he’s taking care of. However, I recently met an older man who has lived abroad for many years and is ready to marry me. He has way more money than my boyfriend. He has met my parents and although they like my boyfriend, they are getting impatient with him and suggesting I should go for this older man.

    I’m so confused right now. Most of my friends are married or have kids already and I don’t want to get older before I settle down. Should I wait for my boyfriend to get more financially stable and marry me or leave him for this older man who is ready to get married now? – Sharon

    Hello, dearies! What do you advise Sharon to do?

  • What’s the best relationship advice you’ve ever received?

    One thing I find most singles struggling with is the signals they get from people they are dating or have an interest in. We’ve all been there before.

    Here is a common scenario:

    Guy meets girl. Guy initiates conversation. They go out on a few dates and girl starts to ask “what are we doing?” “are we dating?” “are we now a couple?” Guy says “yes, of course we are!”

    But, a few days or weeks later, he starts to pull away. He acts like he’s no longer interested and its so hard to get him on the phone to chat for those long hours like you used to. Dates are now few and far in-between and girl begins to wonder what happened.

    A good friend of mine once told me, “If a person is into you, they’ll move heaven and earth to see you.” And that’s what I’d like to share with single ladies and guys out there. Do not waste your time on a partner who does not recognize your worth. The moment you realize your worth, you shift your energy to attract new people who respect your worth. It starts with you first.

    I hope this resonates with you and that you value yourself more whether single, dating, or married.
