Ok - whilst language is important, it can be learned.

I have seen relationships fail due to location issues, and cultural barriers such as different religions. Sometimes the family stress is too much.

I don't think eating the same kind of food is that big a deal.

Maybe he was just trying to drop some hints and find out what you thought of him. In 5 months you don't know everything about the person you're dating, but maybe he sould have answered differently, to make you feel better.

exactly.
i think he's either" feeling me out" or just wanted to see what i thought of him.
i'm not sure if this is the normal topic of being in relationship 5 months?

What is your native language?

I was like W$%^@$%^?
i mean if he feels he doesn't know me why the " if we get married" questions?
Some guys like to play the "What If" game. They are just feeling you out to see where you stand. It does not mean they are wanting what they are asking about, they just want to know how you feel about it. I think that is pretty common early in a relationship.

Sounds like he's trying to tell you he's pregnant, and he doesn't know who the father is.

For someone who "doesn't speak very good English", the OP certainly has not had many (if any) grammar and language errors in sending replies. Just my own personal observation.

Tell him "what if" is a fantacy world and you only lived in reality. Tell him you will cross that bridge when you come to it. Then tell him, for now I just want to keep practicing making babies and not actually making them.

IMHO, you come across clearer when you write something because you get to read and correct it before sending it out. You also get time to think about what you're writing. When speaking, you've already said it and don't get the chance to unsay it and edit your grammar.
