Is he ready to settle down and are you ready to have that talk on getting married? Image: Yang Liu/ Corbis
I’ve been dating my boyfriend for nine months and I’m quite sure that he’s the one. When is the right time to talk about marriage?
The right time to talk about marriage? Maybe when he’s 50 and just got off being on a boat for about a year by himself? (Just kidding.) You know, it’s true a lot of guys make that sort of joke about marriage between a prison and you’re stuck with one girl for the rest of your life and then that’s all that you got, it’s horrible.
But the truth is that when a guy is ready to settle down, he’ll settle down and he’ll do it pretty quickly. Nine months into the relationship is pretty fast but if you know, you know. So get an idea for where he’s at, if he’s ready for that kind of commitment. If he’s not making any ‘marriage is a prison’ sort of simile joke, then that’s a good sign.
