A male friend of mine that I've been hoping that one day will become more than friends with me was having a conversation with me one day. We were watching a Dr. Phil show about dead beat parents. I started telling my friend how I would raise my kids if I ever had them one day. My friend was listening intently and seemed to be really interested in what I had to say. Well after this he said to me "so when are you having these kids"? I got a little embarrassed and then told him that I hadn't thought about it (although I had, with HIM being the father) and said that I just knew I would be a great father. Then he said in a really quiet but sweet voice "yes, you would make a great mother some day".
Do you think this may mean he's interested in me as more than a friend, and may be contemplating having a family with me someday? He would make a great father, he's so good with kids.
Oh yeah, I am 28 and he is 45. We've both never had children.
I will rate high!

I don't know this man, but guessing by his age he is probably starting to think that he should maybe settle down. Yes - by your story - I do think he is hinting at something.

But be cautious. He is more likely looking for a wife and mother then someone to fall in love with.

My uncle was 39 when he asked the first women that took any interest in him to marry him. They are now married, but I honestly don't think they love each other.
