Welcome to psychcentral, and hope you put us in your bookmark so you can return often! How kool is that, that you found someone your parents would approve of! I don't know your customs, nor how "urgent" it is to get married, with reference to age and again, your customs... but if you have time view the whole field... wait... allow this guy time to date others,,, with you around... make sure he knows you like him. If he is from Nigeria, does his parents also wish him to marry likewise? That could be something you could find out... do you have any real conversations with him, yet? Sometimes playing "hard to get" makes a guy want to get to know you.... sometimes when we are pursuing another ...well that is the time we find who we really are supposed to be with (another!) Good wishes in this!
