But not necessarily with him. I have no doubt that if they ever DID meet, it would take about three seconds to ascertain that he's not the guy.

Well you ARE a gem. I don't know why the girls aren't falling all over you.

Relationships are beneficial to women. Most women don't want to hear about if guy has a bad day at work.

Relationships are a two way street but that's a basic concept that anyone who's completely self centered could never grasp.

Obviously you've had some poor relationships. That couldn't be further from the truth.

I think she is letting you know because she does not want to waste her time anymore with men maybe. I do not see anything wrong with her being honest and up front. By her telling you this and you not acting reversely towards it, that is telling her you feel the same way. So now you know she wants to get married and have kids, either run or stay. I would meet her, you might be turning something away that could be your life partner....never know. Does not hurt to meet her, after all you have been talking all this time with her. If the date goes bad, well that is it. At least you know, rather than second guessing yourself in the future!

I really don't need to hear this because I think things should happen naturally. I don't want to talk about marriage when I haven't met you yet. And her references to us living together is something that makes me uncomfortable and seriously considering not meeting her.


Guys if you were me would you be turned off?
Sounds like a woman who's being honest to me. I personally wouldn't persue it, but kudos to her for making that choice. IMO relationships are equally about making the choice to settle down vs chemistry.

Telling you about wanting marriage and kids doesn't worry me too much. I think this woman is probably just worried about being in her 30s now and looking to not waste time. She might not want to get married right away or have kids right away--she could just be saying that in case you know you don't want those things. I understand that point of view but think it can really put unfair pressure on the other person.

If that was the only thing she said, I wouldn't be too concerned. Already talking about moving in together is what worries me.

I can see how you would be turn off but you must understand that some women today are being told to weed out the men who are not marriage material, so they say right up front that they are seeking a relationship (s) that may lead to marriage/family/children and not just out here dating or seeking "booty calls".

Unfortunately in this day and time the art of courting is lost and that is a shame.

Whatever happened to meeting someone and falling in love?

Yes and no.

Unseemly hearing it when she hasn't even met you yet. Heck, she doesn't even know you.

But then her clock is ticking and to be a mommy is a natural thing for a woman. She just got the cart before the horse.
