People are not uncertain or fear the institution of marriage, but it is natural to be unsure if a partner is someone they want to marry and spend their future with.
I think your boyfriend is doing the right thing by being honest with you. You've only been dating seven months; you still may be in the 'honeymoon phase' of a relationship, where you don't see or accept a partner's imperfections. Marrying him right now, instead of in the future would not make his uncertainties vanish. Marriage doesn't solve problems, it increases them.
If you still want to be with him, give the relationship more time to develop--another 6-8 months to a year is not a great length of time and will allow both of you to make a better decision about your future plans. If at that time you still want marriage and he is still uncertain, then you can decide what you want more--a non marital relationship with this man or finding someone else who has more compatible ideas on marriage.

What kind of sign is it when a guy your dating knows that a family thinks of him as a loser and he does not go to family functions because of this Is their any future potential for the relationship?
This is very common. It really depends on your relationship and how committed you are. And really if he the family does not like him, he is not dating the family and it really shouldn't be any of their business as well as the girl should stand up for him. Has the family even taken the time to get to know him - if not that is just plain ignorance on their part. He can do his family functions and she can do hers and the relationship can still work if wanted but you cannot let the family get in the way.
