I've heard it's not unusual for guys to know within minutes, or within the first date. But those would be baggage-free guys who haven't been through a divorce that makes them suspicious of everyone.
No, you didn't mess it up. He's still thinking about marriage. How can you agree to marriage after just 6 months? And just on a moment's notice like that? Nothing is messed up. He'll bring it up again later sometime, don't worry. But at least now you know he's serious about you. You know what's in the cards.
Maybe. It depends on how well you know each other. The older you get, the less time it takes, too.
Interesting. I've actually found the opposite to be true. When I was in my teens and 20's it was easy to get caught up in the surge of chemically induced emotions and imagine spending my whole life with someone after a short amount of time without really thinking it through. Twenty years later I'm far more rational, and need to spend a long time getting to know someone well before I can even think of making such a commitment.
There isn't some magic time frame where all guys will know if a gal is right for them. Surely you know this. That said, I think couples should spend a minimum of two years together before making any decisions about marriage.
I disagree with this advice. If your in your forties and want a family, you don't have the luxury of waiting that long. It also shouldn't take that long to figure it out. I say a year.
