A girl asked me about whether I planned on getting married right out of college. She also asked whether one of my close friends that was a friend was looking to get married. I get the impression that she wishes I would ask her out, but then she says she is going to get a degree and fulfill her life dream in her career. She also talks about other girls around her are desperate to get married and she is not, and she says other guys she knows like her are really jerks. What the heck is she trying to tell me when she talks about this? Are they hints or small talk? Please HELP ME!!!

Instead of focussing on the fact that she's mentioned marriage, ask her where she sees herself in five years.  I think alot of young women feel pressures from family and soceity to be the "full package", where they have a family and their dream career.  Maybe she's just trying to get a guy's point of view about getting married at a young age.  Let her tell you about what she wants out of life, and if it happens to include marriage in a few years, don't freak out!  If you're interested in the girl, ask her out and see how things go.  I think it would be weird to start a relationship with someone if you didn't think that sometime down the road you may want to spend your lives together.  Unless you're looking for a fling, most people go into a relationship hoping that things will work out for the long run, which eventually means marriage for some people.  The bottom line, talk to her and let her tell you how she really feels about getting married young.

I'm ready to get married. I have finished two degrees (BA and Masters), and have a clear plan for what I feel the rest of my life should be like - the pursuits, the activities, the financials, etc. I am tired of casual dating, and want to connect with someone on a deeper level. I am considering a child, but I am really undecided on children - STILL - so it's NOT the biological clock thing. It's not a factor at all.

I've had a few platonic female friends.  I've given some hugs and some backrubs.  I've never kissed them.  Your girlfriend crossed the line.  Why would she tell you that "his little thingy got hard"?!?  Definitely past the line.\n\nIt sounds like she is playing games and is at the least trying to make you feel jealous.  At the worst, she is shopping for another boyfriend and just wants to keep you on the line.\n\nIt's hard to convey all the intricacies of a relationship on these little questions.  But from the little you've revealed, I would dump her and cut off all contact.  Until she grows up, she is not worthy to date seriously.

Maybe she is just afraid of what your reaction would be. Maybe instead of hinting you should just come out and say what you feel. It sounds like maybe you are both hinting to one another but neither one is stepping up to the plate. Even if she doesn't see you as botfriend material right now she might later if she knows the opportunity is there.

Big deal she has a boyfreind. So what....... that don't make her a cheater. Maybe he's doing her wrong...I would ask her out again, only this time I'd ask her how she feels about you. She is not married your not being a homewrecker. There are reasons people don't get married... Im sure she's well aware of that. I think she is interested!!!! Good Luck.

I don't think anybody else can really help you with this, brotha. It's all based on the decision you make. My advice is if you're digging her, go for her. If you want to be a jerk, go for everybody else. It's not that I'm calling you a jerk, but how do you think she would feel about the whole thing?

If you bhave already asked someone...and she is looking forward to it you should take your friend from home.  Explain the situation to your girlfriend, Im sure if you are open and honest about it she will understand.

Are they running to you as a friend wanting advice on how to date your friend...or are you getting what's like to be called "sloppy seconds"? Either which way, the situation your in does stink...tell your friend whats wrong - that guys that like her and coming up to you after they ask her out...she should straighten them out for you if she's a friend. IF not, a good kick in the "whahoos" will definately push all romatic ideas with you out of a guys head. Just an idea.

People do all kinds of unusual things to propose marriage; although, I would not take it so seriously, especially since it does not seem so serious.  If they do not really have that kind of relationship, inferring from what you wrote, how can it be?\n\nThere are many words one could choose to deliver the same message.  If your friend wants to let this guy down gently, she can tell him that she is flattered that he is interested in her, that she thinks he is a nice guy but she does not feel that he is right for her and that he deserves someone who will be more suited for him.

No, I don't think you made a mistake! However, her response sounds to me like SHE has issues - it doesn't mean yes, or no - in other words, she is undecided. I can't tell from that, whether or not you should pursue this...that has to be your decision. Good luck with whatever you decide (at least she was honest with you!)

Hope this works out for you. its probably a bit raw at the moment. could this possibly not be the first time this has happened, as im sure she is trying to tell you something and get a reactionary response. she wants you to want her and fight for her not just give up. im thinking that she wants you to commit after 8 years. she doesnt want to ask you to make it a more secure relationship possibly not long distance. she wants you to come up with that idea and put it to her. so she can feel loved and needed. thats what im thinking and im a chick and sometimes we can be a bit weird like that. so give it a go when things calm down have a honest talk with her and ask her what she really wants or doesnt want from you and decide what you are ready to give. if you arent ready to give everything - why have a relationship anyway. take care and give it some time.

It could be her asking her friends to do her a favour by testing how faithful you are. Trust me, some girls can be THAT dumb!

Well I'm a female, and I'll be the first to admit that women can and do send mixed signals.  Sorry!  I personally find that  tYpe liKe ThIs to be extremely annoying, but then again, maybe  she thinks it's playful.  Sounds like you are on her mind right now, who knows why.  If you want it to be more (again) then respond.  If you are over her, then be polite but don't get engaged in it.

sounds like a really good friendship with romantic undertones. sounds like you guys may be scared of getting together because you don't want to wreck your friendship. let the friendship grow, i think she does like you, but don't rush anything too much because sometimes it can be a little scary..but fun still.\n\nbut for a girl to say "when do you want to get hitched?" they definitely like you. i would never say that to a mediocre guy friend.\ni think you may have your foot in the door.\ntake it slow.\n\ngood luck!

Look this is the deal.. I understand you all have been best friends from some time and you just broke up. But she is getting married and there is really no reason you should interfere with this girl and her fiance... But I can tell you this if she is getting married to this guy and still attempting to keep ties with you. Well then it is obvious that she still cares for you. So knowing that you need to make sure that your not the reason that there marragies breaks up or does not last. And I belive you still have feelings for her as well so if your love is real then it can withstand what has been done. But this girl seems to mean to be unstable if she is planning to get married and then wanting to keep ties with you still. I mean she knows if she does this that she can have you and this guy. And then what she gets married and then later to you. I am sure this girl is sweet and kind but you need to protect your own heart...

It's perfectly OK that you are still unsure about the path you want your life to take. Many people are still unsure when they are ready to graduate from high school or college. Don't worry about what your friends think. Each of us makes these choices when the time is right for us. You will, too. Take your time and don't let anyone push you into making a choice before you are ready. God Bless!
