I can arrange it for you.
I don’t feel ready yet 😝
But how does it work for real? Do those people date to marry only? What happened to dating for dating’s sake?

Maybe they know what they want and don't want to waste their time dating one person and then another? Particularly if they are getting older. Two people want a life partner and find someone compatible enough to commit to

Wizz makes a fair assessment here though.

Grey Wizard? The one with the Dumbledore avi? I thought he was a Leo.

I doubt it’s the same guy. I’ve had a crush on that Leo guy 😻

Anyway, this guy is annoying gemini. Wizzards was his previous nickname, I believe?

Not sure if there is a method, but it just means dating with the intention of marriage. The idea is to only invest energy in dating someone who is ready and searching for someone to settle down and get married to, if marriage is what you want. If you dont see him as husband material and vice versa he isn't seeing you as potential wife material, then you're both just passing time. Which is fine for your 20s cause you have nothing better to do and dont mind wasting time dating for fun. But if you're looking for a serious life partner, you might not want to invest 5 to 10 years of your life in a person waiting for them to figure out if you are "the one".


this true, i dated a scorpio for like a heartbeat but just somehow wasn't sensing 'enough' commitment from him. so meh i drop and ghosted. always be prepared to cut loose a non-marriageable so you don't waste your fertility years.

when you leave a man, they always start to act 'right' even when you give 0 reason/excuse why you're walking out. they start to 'correct' themselves- the stuff you've 'mysteriously' left them for they suddenly dropped (vices, habits, attitudes, other women etc).

this why you never tell them WHY coz they always reveal themselves when you want out (righting their wrongs).

Yeah they correct just enough to get you back and then backslide to their old ways. I'm in that phase right not looking for a boyfriend, I'm looking for a husband. I want to take the time to know someone and find out if they are husband potential but I'm not interested in the "lets get to know each other and see how things go" energy. Those types usually end up being someone who will drag their feet forever when they arent actually interested in marriage, but they are too selfish to let you go because they dont want tl be alone.

you know what's really cringe? when they do that it means they KNOW what they're doing wrong and must've realized that you've noticed.

i'm boring asf and only dated looking for serious material. so basically i'd be speed running, dropping guys after maybe like 2 dates for the smallest things. no need to waste time. why date one ahole guy to eventually waste a decade of your life?

and men who say they want marriage aren't always telling the truth anyway. there are better ways to 'measure' a man. like my cap ex who was with this chick for like 10-11 years, talking about wanting to marry her (conservative background) but then confessed to me at the end of our relationship that he wasn't planning to marry her at all.

a dude who'd waste one woman's decade like that shouldn't even be worth 2 dates.

“Let’s just go with the flow” seem like the worst type of a guy. It can take them years to go with the flow 🙄

One male friend told me good advice. He said to first focus on if he is husband material and then act accordingly. If he is for sex/dating only type of a man, then there is that. He said that should be known during the first couple of dates..

You're right. Glad you didnt waste your time. In US culture there is so much emphasis on not rushing things women waste their time dating men who never plan to commit. You knew you wanted marriage and I think you went about it that right way.

speed serial dating is the way. the western take sounds delusional to me: "don't look for it, love will find you." lmfao

personally, love found me but I had to make the effort of changing my fb status to single first.

yes lol and somehow one of the first things we've done was exchange baby pics which i guess was a subtle way for me to find out what he thought about children in general. he found me coz i was posting on a community group (i moved into his town coz i'm avoiding my relatives).

knowing me, i was prob trying to buy something and he must've liked my profile pic and started talking to me. 2 weekend dates during stormy weather together and he just kinda never left.

very on brand for me coz my venus is in the 11th which says I'd meet a love from unconventional places, groups, communities, technology, or friends which literally is Facebook 😆😆

That’s very nice! 😊 ♥️

I think the key is to meet up fast and see if you hit it in person. But in order to do that, there has to be some online chemistry to begin with.

Well as someone who has been married twice, it takes a serious relationship first where you are committed to each other. People recognize marriage material in my experience. In this internet/texting/online dating world it’s been a bit different. However, the key is it has to be right, actions not only words, being respectful & someone who is not talking about sex but understands sex is part of a relationship but respects you, supports you, wants to build a partnership. You also respect them, support them, and work in building a partnership. You have to beware of the lovebombers though.. that is not reality and real love. It’s not just “I want to get married” my experiences is it evolves toward with a relationship type person vs a fling/player/can’t commit type person. It’s pretty easy to tell the difference, they behave differently.. sometimes they might want it but can’t do it, and that might take some time to see if it’s actually right.

Deep conversations about ourselves and what kind of life and future we each want.

Really deep personal questions.

Spend long periods of time together as trial runs.

Goal to see every side of who you are, at your best and worst. Work out any conflicts or anything we don't see eye to eye about that matter to the other or both.

For me, with long term relationship, if we don't click in a similar way a best friend deep friendship way, not going to bother. Because we will be spending the rest of our lives together. We got to be able to click and jibe.

Maybe you got to do the mail order bride thing 😁

Just kidding…. let me know when you have found out how it works. I've been pretty unsuccessful over the last decade.

What I learned so far is that an unbalanced income seems to cause problems because the ladies feel their independence or self-image is somehow threatened by it. Even having something as mundane as a cleaning service for your home can cause problems. So I’m coming to the conclusion you should date someone who is on a similar level or at least very self confident, and preferably someone from the same country so there are less misunderstandings regarding language and cultural norms.

I always say the most successful relationships are when people are from the same socioeconomic backgrounds. Or at least very similar.

The good thing about your country is that most people aren’t married legally, right? Or is it 50-50?

So there is less pressure. Having said this, most people everywhere want to get married at some point which is completely understandable.

It’s true, there is no real pressure to marry from point of view of the society in general (occasionally you might find a family that ticks different). Couples usually do so when it’s about upbringing kids, it has advantages regarding inheritance.

How does it work?

Good afternoon, I’d like to get married asap, please.


I'd say the first step here is being pragmatic.

It just seems lately that A LOT of people are overestimating themselves and confusing attention with options.

The truth is, we don't have that many options and it dwindles as we get older. People don't want to hear that because the amount of interactions you may receive on a daily basis. But those aren't options, they're probably horny men.
