Did you mention marriage when dating, or did he propose to you on his own? When did you mention marriage during the relationship? Did you let him know early on that you would like kids someday, like 3 months of dating or so? Did you wait a few years?

I’m just curious. I’m concerned that a woman mentioning marriage may scare a man off or kill the attraction? To all the men, would you rather have your girlfriend be upfront on what she wants to see in her future? A family member in my life keeps asking if I found a man to marry, but he doesn’t understand that it’s not realistic to find a man overnight and marry him. I really don’t know how you’re supposed to get a man to marry you.
