I think at that age, many people are dating with a purpose, not just for the fun of it.
I don't think you need to be married within a two-year timeframe, but I do think that after two years, you "should" have a solid idea of whether or not this is the person you want to share your life with.
At some point it does become wasting time or stringing someone along, especially for women who have biology against them the older they get, if they want to have children. It's not two months, it's two years, which is more than enough time to get to know someone.
I'm curious what's stopping you from making a decision.
THIS.
I'm in my late 30s, closer to 40 than I'd like to admit, and I definitely started daring with intent/purpose sometime in my mid 30s. I don't have time to waste with playing the field and dating people who aren't interested in finding something serious.
I realize that not everyone wants to get married, and that's fine. Definitely something couples need to discuss and preferable earlier rather than later. (Marriage in the abstract, I mean... )
It really just depends on the individuals, the relationship, and timing. I was in a long-term cohabiting relationship from age 30-35, and while we talked of marriage in some far-off abstract, it was never something that was on the immediate horizon.
That relationship ended, and when I started dating again, I met someone...I was almost 36, he was 40, and we got married a little over a year after we met.
In neither case did I pressure for marriage. In the case of my husband and I, neither of us had ever been married before, but he said when he met me, he knew he was ready.
I was dating an adorable woman from Holland for about a month. I was very interested in her and I am looking to settle down but she asked me so many heavy questions I really didn't know how to answer them. We were still dating, getting to know each other and all.
She seemed really interested in me but ended it. She said it would be to hard since we're both immigrants from different countries and live in the U.S. and I wasn't clear about my future plans. I have a 5 and 10 year plan, but if I meet someone I'm willing to compromise.
FFS!! It's only been 7-8 dates over a few weeks. I feel like she's shooting herself in the foot... It's a shame.

Any woman that tried to force or pressure a guy into marrying her is in for a rude awakening... ain't gonna happen.
Only if more women understood this! I had one girl that was 21 that started pestering me within 6 months. YES! I AM SERIOUS! I had to break it off and within a year she was engaged with some chump.
Was probably in my top 5 best girlfriends list though...

Some women are just looking for a man at all cost, almost doesn't matter who he is even. He just has to be willing to give himself away
