How do you know if he wants to marry me?

Answer 1

By Asking him, If he says "No" then you will know he does not want to marry you, just make sure he knows your being serious.

Its the most effective way, men dont respond well to hints or indirect stuff, we are Direct creatures we prefer people be direct and honest when dealing with us.

Make sure.. if you love him dont scare him! I agree ask direct but let him know how hard it is for you to wrap your head around the whole idea of being locked in a bond with one person for the rest of your life, and let him hear your feelings about the commitment you made and vowed to uphold through the best and worst. If he cant keep eye contact or reveal his true feelings than what are you going to share for eternity... get the idea? this is the start of your new life he's holding back on now!!

Another answer:

Always assume that the worst thing a guy says is true. If he says "I never want to get married," he doesn't. And no amount of plotting on your part will change that. He'll assume that if he says it, and you still stick around, then you're okay with it. Ditto with "I don't want kids," "I have a wife," "I'm really into porn," and "I could spend all week playing WofW." All true. Live with it, or walk away, because it's never going to change. You've been warned.

Answer 2

Generally both people in the relationship will discuss their hopes and dreams and part of it should included each of you in each other's lives. Men can often be gun shy regarding marriage. COMMUNICATION is the most important word in any one's life! This means you have to sit down with your mate and discuss the future with them. If you are very young then it would stand to reason that getting married at such a young age may not be such a good idea, but if you are in your 20's plus and have been going together for a time then marriage should be one of the topics. Have that talk with your partner. Don't get pushy or aggressive over it and say something like, 'Where do you see ourselves in the future?' Of course there is no doubt the comeback from him will be 'what do you mean.' Your answer should be blunt by saying, 'Well, you go with a person for a length of time so either you love them enough to at least get engaged and eventually make plans to get married, or you move on.' That will shake him up!
