just out of curiosity....i know a lot a couples out there who have been seeing each other for a long time, both have stable jobs, and are both convinced that they truly love each other and would want to marry each other...someday....now going back to the real question....when is that someday? what considerations do guys have before really tying the knot? what are the things they want to make sure of or want to do while in their single life? coz most often than not it's the ladies who usually wait when their gents are really ready. thoughts please.

I would think that they're ready to get married once they had changed their attitude and they would not want to date other women anymore. That they want to spend the rest of their life with just one girl.

thanks for your reply. well the only problem with that is sometimes they tell the girls that yes their are the one for them but they never got far from just saying that than doing the deed itself. i guess men are just really hard to figure out.:)

I think that if they live together first and they know they can live TOGETHER, then theres no reason they shouldn't get married. - Otherwise come the time they move in, they could be arguing over chores that need to be done. Maybe hes too nervous to ask her though. And most women like to be asked rather then be the asker.

i agree with the idea of living together or cohabitating first before finally deciding that yes, they can truly tolerate each other. and it will spare them both from all the emotional stress, expensive cost and hassle of divorce or annulment. hahaa. well, besides wanting to try living together what else do they have in mind?
