Is this an acceptable response from someone who really isn't outspoken?

I wouldn't consider that a "Yes, I want to" even if he isn't usually outspoken/opinionated. Marriage would ensnare him (forgive the expression) for the rest of his life, and if he doesn't truly want it, and will do it just to appease you, chances are he'll regret it (even if he never says it). I think you should talk with him and really try to understand his viewpoint on the matter. If there is any hint of hesitation or even indifference, don't risk it. The marriage would be most unhealthy. Good luck!

Ok, what you posted isn't really a question.

No it's not rude to ask in my opinion.  The guy could always not reply if it is upsetting.  Perhaps you really really helped him with your answer and he would be very grateful.  I think you should ask and then you can satisfy your curiousity because until you do, it is going to niggling away at you.

Not at all. \nNo problem actually means you were glad to do that favor without causing any problem for urself. \nNo problem is not offensive reply.\nWould be slightly better to reply as " No problem at all". and with a smile.

I would be both. Probably stew about it and keep asking myself why I didn't say this or say that. Perhaps in most cases it is better to not say what you wanted to say simply because it could cause more anomisity and hostility.

I'm sure she was just trying to be friendly. It doesn't seem like a steriotypical remark. Lighten up maybe.

Not rude.  I'd be flattered if a guy asked.

Well she's not asking about fashion or trends.  She's asking of what YOU think about it.  \n  Next time she asks you that tell her what you really think (be courteous of course).

Why are you trying to impose the belief on me that there is something wrong with the statement the other person made?  It is natural to share opinions.  You just need to accept some and let others go.

I always think it is a sign of non-bigotry among those seeking the opinions of others to show due respect to someone who plainly does not agree with them. You have a tendency here to ask combative questions and then to award best answer to someone who merely reinforces the beliefs you had when you started out. You ask a question here - are you big enough to award BA to someone who challenges your position but does so in the most honest and useful way? I don't mean this one - because I express no opinion about whether or not you are a bigot. But will you reinforce a bigoted perception of yourself by accepting only what you already think? That is for you to decide.

well you don't sound happy or convinced of AS's intentions or authenticity to begin with. and although i say the grass isn't always greener, i also say but you never know unless you try... EW sounds like good stuff. it may be worthwhile. one has redeemed himself. allow the other to do the same?

Yes, I think it;s great---a lot better than the verbal attacks we were getting before last week....I have no problem answering reasonable questions to curious straights and I'm glad to do it. Tolerate isn't a word that comes to my mind in this area.

He may have some feelings of insecurity going with a younger person, so that comment would have bummed him out big time. I don't think you were being insensitive or him being up tight, it sounded like it was said without any thought, but wrapped in the moment of chatting and laughing. Do you know what I mean? I sometimes say some dumb as stuff and then realise I said something that was offensive, but had no intention to.

It doesn't sound as if you are compromising, you're just doing what you feel is expected of you. You're going to lose who you are if you try to please everyone around you. It is time for you to decide if you want to take a risk and stand up and make your voice and opinion be heard.

You responded very well... I don't think I would have handled it as well... I may have reacted violently... I applaud you for not doing this...
