I have been dating my bf for six months, one afternoon while we were having lunch and talking, he said "lets get married". I did not respond but gave him this weird surprised look, then he said, " Im just kidding".

I think I gave him the wrong reaction. I was shock hearing it from him because weve only been dating for 6 months. What do you guys think? Did he mean what he said or he was just truly kidding? Do guys know immeadiately if a girl they are dating is someone they will marry?

Im close to his family and his mom loves me( his mom never liked any of the girls he dated in the past). His family is all surprised by how his mom is treating me. He is close to my family as well. We talk about the future like having kids and how we are gonna raise them. We joke about getting old together. We are so attracted to each other and we are very compatible in bed..like its amazing how we can make each other happy.

It's possible, but I'd say in general?.....no.

If he is young and nieve maybe, after he has lost a house and a bunch of his stuff as well as incured alimony or child support payments not so much.

Personally I either know instantly (if you are super hot...I know, it's shallow) or it will take 3 years. But in all seriousness, I wouldn't classify deciding to get married after being together 6 months as impulsive.

Possible. My husband proposed eight months in (said he knew much, much earlier), but he is also in his forties and pretty clear on what he wanted by that point.

I also have the awesome, adoring (and adored) mother-in-law. I was pretty much instantly absorbed by his great family, and he was by mine, too.

It really just depends. Sometimes, you just fit.

On the other side of the coin, I lived with a guy for five years, and we did the "What should we name our future kids" thing, etc., and in the end, it became ultra-apparent that talk is cheap and that it was going noooooooowhere. But, at gut level, I knew that. Go with the gut.

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.

Maybe. It depends on how well you know each other. The older you get, the less time it takes, too.
