Me and my boyfriend were just talking and stuff (we've been together for a lil over a month) we went out before in the summer and that lasted almost 4 months but anyways he told me im the only girl he ever loved n stuff and how much i mean to him and he told my best friend one of his wishes and its nothing gross or anything but idk is this a weird wish for a guy to want?
he wants to marry me when we are older... like 6-7 years from now.

Siren_Cytherea answered Friday March 3 2006, 8:29 pm: No, it's not weird.
Do keep in mind, though, six or seven years is a very long time. My high school sweetheart and I discussed marriage after college, but as fate would have it, I met someone else and am now dating someone better suited to me.
It's fine to want to get married, but don't tie yourself down if you don't want to be stuck. Remember you can always get out of it.
But to actually answer your question, no, it's not weird for a guy to want that, if he really cares about you and thinks he wants to be with you for the rest of his life.
Emotions are powerful. They influence quite a bit of our decisions, whether we like to admit it or not.

decemberbaby answered Friday March 3 2006, 8:18 pm: in my opinion, i think it is wierd. but if you really love this guy, i guess, maybe, it could work. but you have to remember, in 6 or 7 years, you could have met a more wonderful guy! i would wait until you know who you want to marry.
aquababe1 answered Friday March 3 2006, 6:39 pm: no. i know people that were going out in 8th grade and are still going out. they want to get married....idk if they will (still in highschool) but he seems to want to stick around. even though it freaks you out i think its good he wants that because at least you know hes not going to run!

thisismydance answered Friday March 3 2006, 5:50 pm: my boyfriend is the exact same way. its totally normal. its a good thing. a guy that wants to marry a girl is more commited to her than anyther guy would be so its less likely that he would cheat! its a good thing.! my bf even got me a necklace that on the back says "7 or 8 more years..." its normal and good!

sizzlinmandolin answered Friday March 3 2006, 5:41 pm: It's not weird at all. Neither of you are ready though and you're definitely not close enough yet to be thinking seriously about this sort of thing. It's fun to talk about the future and how it would be if you two did get married, but if it goes a step further and he proposes, or something crazy like that, don't accept just because you feel like you have to or don't want to hurt his feelings. Official engagement is a big thing that you aren't ready for at all judging by your age, the amount of time you've been with him, and the fact that you've already been through a break-up. All you have to do is say that you're not ready to take that step yet, and you want to slow down a little because going this fast is making you uncomfortable. He'll be disappointed for a little while, but you won't end up in the middle of a huge mess. Again though, it's not weird to just think about it or talk about it. Doing it would be not only weird, but wrong. I hope I helped you and good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
Lots of boys and girls can be very quixotic when they're dating, and especially if it's the first. They have this "together forever" notion, meanwhile half of them break up in two weeks.
If he doesn't say anything to you about it, then I would just ignore it. He'll probably realize he's being silly, or someone else will tell him. But if he shares this desire with you, tell him that's it's not realistic. [ MaxwellsSilverHammer's advice column | Ask MaxwellsSilverHammer A Question ]
