I never understood that..I never made a "married by next June" kind of mark in my mental calendar.

I dated, if I found a guy worth keeping around then I'd get to know him even more to make sure..THEN start thinking about marriage.

only one has made that cut in the last 15 years..I've got nothing but time..and so do you.

if he's just "marriage minded" then that's great..so are you Mazel Tov!!

if it's a "I'll be married by next year, no matter who it is" kind of vibe or too much just over text..RUN Forrestette Run!!

there is nothing wrong with wanting to get married but rushing into marriage is not wise.
i wouldn't run yet if you're into getting married at some point but if he asks you to marry him before meeting then run. if he asks you before you've had time to get to know each other run then too.

My gut is telling me to meet him in person before making any decision. I'm trying to think positive lol. It's always good to seek some advice about something like this

I think it's great that he's looking to get married. I don't understand why he wants to run into it. I'm curious as to why.

Don't leave your food or drink unattended , if for some reason you begin to suddenly feel sick..... Make a huge scene...don't go anywhere alone with him.. Good luck....

Did Bill Cosby get you too?

Wanting to get married "this year" makes it sound more like an agenda item than actually looking for the right person. If you "hit it off," how are you going to know that he's chosen you for any reason other than that the clock is ticking? I'd run from anyone who had a date in mind to get married before he had a spouse in mind; seems like the timeline means more to him than the partner.

Sounds like he's honest and direct (and maybe desperate and confused).

I don't mind meeting women that say they wanna get married. It's not like just because they want to I'm going to have to.

If I were in your shoes and there weren't any other negative things about him, I would at least nee him first. Maybe hangout three times and then see if I could see myself marrying this person down the road.

Lastly, there's always compromise. He says one year, you say three, just split the middle and say if you can still stand each other in two years you'll set a date.

By the way, the average marrying age today for college educated white women is 30 years old. Just saying.

Usually people needing a green card will bring this up before meeting. They see nothing wrong with that nor do their families see anything wrong with that.

I'm 26 and chatting with a guy my age from online. We are both looking for something serious but he is looking to get married this year. I'm not looking to get married not until in a couple years. I did tell him how I felt and whatnot and I worry that if I decide to get into a relationship with this guy he'll pressure for marriage. I'm not sure whether or not I should rule him as a potiential mate.

A friend of mines mentioned about the green card. It's something to be very concerned about. He hasn't been in the US for long. I think he's been here for a year at least that's what he told me maybe alittle more than a year.

If he's been here a year he either has a visa already or is an illegal. But don't worry, simply meeting for coffee isn't a lifetime commitment and contrary to what every American thinks...all foreigners are not all after green cards

I wasn't when I came here, in fact me coming here was Plan B...
