In my expereince, most guys tend to just say what they mean. Women often tend to lean more towards expressing meaning through non verbal communication regardless of what is begin said. ("When I said it was fine for you to go to London wihtout me, that meant that you were supposed to stay home becasue you could not stand to be away from me for so long").
Becasue of this, women often read too much into what a guy says, or try to analyze what he meant by what he says, when he simply meant what he said. In short, as someone said earlier. It probably means exactly what he said. He thinks that he will get married someday. He thinks that you could possibly be "the one" but he is not certain of either yet.
Or maybe he IS a player. But if you have gone to this stage of conversation, you obviously must know him well enough to figure that out by now.
In my experience guys don't mean what they say......

Bringing up "marriage" is a slippery slope topic. Women are told to avoid talking about it, because men want to avoid marriage. Women are told if they talk about marriage, they will scare the guy off, or look desperate. So this clown brings it up, and even personalizes it with her in it.
She should have said right back, "Oh, it's far too soon for either of us to talk about marriage in this relationship, I am surprised you did." Then let him do the wondering...
Well then don't talk about marriage, talk about serious dating, then talk about long term relationships, then when all that works out, then talk about marriage....etc. Is it that difficult?
Marriage doesn't mean some wonderful amazing thing either. Just look at all the people in horrible marriages and divorce struggles. Do you want that to happen to you?

Been there, done that. I just want a geniune person to date.
Not like the guys who have sent me their phone numbers off dating sites, and can barely carry on a conversation.
The bitterness, negative conclusions, and outright lunacy of this thread still astonishes me, even after what I've seen so far.
Nobody can tell you for sure Yoyogirl, you'd have to be there when he said it. He could be saying it simply because it's what he wants, and is trying after a bit now to voice this to her, hoping she might be hoping the same, nothing more.
Then again, it might be him trying to loosen her up around him to get sex, who knows?
This is about as vague as it gets. It's like seeing something from the beach on the horizon and asking a hundred people what it is without the benefit of binoculars or anything else.
They've been seeing each other for a few months. There's obviously chemistry between them. He's talkiing about his plans to get married in a few years. Then he says "Maybe to you?"
What does that mean? He really sees her as a potential wife? Or just blowing smoke? Thanks!
