I don't care too much about the ring itself but the fact that he wants to move it to the next level and settle down. At this point, I wouldn't mind if I were getting marry without a ring.

That was a figure of speech. I meant propose.

It's more serious to me. Dating seems like ones of those ''30 days'' trial period and not the real thing.

LTR: I love you and like your company but wouldn't want to be with you forever. I'm unwilling to take deeper challenges and distrusts you so much.

Marriage: I love you forever and can't be without you and will be willing to accept responsibilities... except the same from you too.... I know this is more complicated but I'm willing to accept this challenge and work it out with you

Yes. To be honest, I've always been simple. I don't really ask too much. All I'm asking is full commitment. I'll do the same in return.

That may be what you think, but what if he thinks

LTR: This is the person that I want to be with for the rest of my life. Our similarities make us compatible and our difference challenge and expand the other.

Marriage: A piece of paper

Break up and give up on dating completely. Go single for a long while I guess. I just don't see it that way.

I've been with my gf for 3 years and will be getting an engagement ring with my tax return. Of course at first we didn't plan on getting married and all, but with time that is what we both want. We want to live forever together with a nice house and some kids. Simple as that. Maybe I'm just weird though and not normal. Meh, it is my life I can do what I want.

If you're ready to give up at the ripe old age of 25, I'd say you're not cut out for marriage anyway.

Then why not move it to the next step? Why not?

What's wrong with signing the so called ''piece of paper'' you said it and creating an even closer bond? Fear that I'm after his money? Total distrust in me?

If he's that distrustful I have no problems signing the pre-nup aggreement. I won't even want his money.
