No. I'm not single. And I'm 22. I just feel when women say "we've been dating for 2 years, if you don't know you want to spend the next 50 years with me right now, how can you say you love me?" Is pretty dumb.
Yeah, you're young and you are probably not with the person you are going to marry. How long have you been with her?


I'm married.
I had high hopes after 6 months
I knew after a year.
If she posses 8/10 qualities you want
An 4/5 qualities you need.

Thanks for answering. I think a year is enough time depending on the person's age. How old were you when it happened?


What did you have before your edit? :wtb:

This is why people get divorced. There's so many layers you need to know about someone before you consider spending the rest of your life with them. There are people who are married right now that don't know the Serious moments of impact that their SO's have gone through. You need to know everything. The good and the bad.
didnt say I know I wanna marry them after a few encounters (i know thats what the thread is about so my bad)

...but believe me..dealing with a girl I can tell very early if she is wifey material or just a smash and dash. Doesn't mean im gonna be the one to wife her though. You probably just dont break these girls down as quick as i do, or listen as well. shyt is a talent

We had definitely rushed into it. :huhldup: I like to say we dated on Monday and got married on Wednesday. But I knew I wanted to marry her so I did. :manny:
9 years later, we're still going strong.

** I don't advise anyone do this willingly. Marriage is too difficult to go into it on a whim, my situation worked out but I got that reality check real quick.

no set time cause it depends on the type of time you spent with them.

2years of dating isn't the same as 2 years of living together which isn't the same as 2 years of living together and going through say an illness or loss of a job, etc.

You have to date first before you can live together and start experiencing things.

I thought you were going to say like if you're dating someone and only go out with them twice in a month vs. spending time with them everyday of the month.

Like I said, impossible. "Dates" are just relationship interviews. And no one shows who they really are when they go on interviews. You give your best self, and conceal your flaws. The only people who are wifey material, are the ones who are proven wives. And the only people who are husband material, are proven husbands. Everything else is assumption.

You are probably older than him, how old are you?

I wouldn't even consider the thought of marriage until I see how she deal with adversity within the relationship. I'm talking at least 2 years after the honeymoon phase. I have to know if you'll be there and don't switch up through good times and bad.

How old were you and why did you rush?

Nobody's even talking about dates. I'm talking about phone convos, bus rides and text messages :laugh:. I'm a very analytical, observant person. Plus I have a secondary background in Psychology. It's not that difficult.

I'm only 24. I just know how to make girls feel comfortable. Girls will be telling me about kids, molestation stories, abortions, daddy issues, their family, hobbies, interests etc and all that within our third conversation if I want them to. Beyond all that though, there is something called temperament that tells you a lot about somebody.

A lot of people just want somebody they can talk to without being judged. Girls are no different, once you let them think you could be that person its a wrap. The problem is that when talking to women most men ignore the red flags or feel that they're being too analytical / judgmental for analyzing certain things the girl is telling them. They give the benefit of the doubt as they should but they do it for too long. The same things they overlooked manifest themselves into becoming problems for the relationship and they just keep going along with it acting surprised when shyt hits the fan.
