how do you know when someone is ready to propose marriage or take it to the almost marriage step in a relationship. any great or not so great stories you'd like to share? advice, tips etc. are there any signs or actions to look for? that questions came up at a dinner the other night with my friends. one dates a scorp like me the other aries. of course, i'm more interested in a scorp.Winking what makes a scorp man take to the this level?
no it won't be hard to figure your arsehole sunny so no need to go anywhere Tongue Winking
but wth lady, u look like the marrying kind?!!
ariesgirl, the best answer to that will be to wait for it, if it's gonna come it's gonna come... otherwise if you're anything like my fellow aries wenches, you'll drive yourself insane

Oh zen-I look at it all as failure. Not proud of it. That's for sure!
PP, that's super mean! I'd be sad for someone getting turned down in public.



How's it failure?
You're not the ones that proposed to them... they proposed to you without ensuring you're ready... on the other hand, you keep accepting the proposal without soul-searching --- LOL!
Could be worse, it could be four divorces and numerous kids... so u become quad-baby-mama Tongue
you're on adventurous ram though, marriage or any related just makes me break out so engaging number 1 time will be something for moi smile
I should think for a woman to be proposed to 4 times, then it would mean that she had been leading these men on to believe that more love was present than actually was = player.
To bestow upon a man the true feelings of your heart, to endear him with such sentiment as to make him feel like you are his soulmate and The One he has been looking for .... will lead him to propose marriage to you.

And you've done this 4 times. How many of these men did you actually marry?

If you married none of them, and moved on after you got this proposal given to you so you can feel special that men are proposing to you .... then this means it is intentional and it also makes you a player.

I am fully aware that you said this in jest .. however, being a Player isn't funny.
super powers...ACTIVATE!- save to assume you were trying to be funny?Winking
sunny ram- you're a player!!!! as nice as it is to be proposed 4 times you should consider the guys feelings. unless, it came out of nowhere and you didn't know.
i don't really understand when ppl talk about proposal and then he proposes. where is the element of surprise and romance???
"ariesgirl, the best answer to that will be to wait for it, if it's gonna come it's gonna come... otherwise if you're anything like my fellow aries wenches, you'll drive yourself insane" - yes, very true but the way my life is turning out right now i'd like to know certain things to plan out better. i'm not going to ask him out loud where the relationship is going since i don't want to be one of those women and don't like those kind of talks myself. but at this point both of us should consider the outcome since neither of us is getting younger Winking
"i felt really bad for the libra guy. nice sweet guy. he one time looked at me with a sadness in his eyes "so r u a playa as her?". i could only mumble some subtle hints coz i'd have to shot myself if i betray my bff Straight Face."

Feeling bad for a person who deserves is, doesn't mean anything if the feeling bad is in words and not feeling.
You felt for your girlfriend, and in being loyal and not betraying her ..... with the Libra man, it was a knowledge you have that feeling bad for him (( should )) be present, but, isn't.

Because if a person really, truly felt bad for another persons feelings in a situation ... then rectification would follow instinctively.

there's this guy friend of my sons, who used to beat the piss out of his dog to vent off his aggression ....... then turn around and praise himself about how much he loved his dog.
what do you think the true feelings were?
The ones voiced? Or the ones acted upon?
sunny ram- "ariesgirl-Do you want him to propose? Has he mentioned getting married?" - i think i do. he said at some point he'd like to get married and have kids. not sure if he just threw it out there or he wanted to see my reaction
"ariesgirl-Do you want him to propose? Has he mentioned getting married?" - i think i do. he said at some point he'd like to get married and have kids."

So, you want to marry this man?

You feel that he slights you with his attention of not taking you along with him on business trips, you feel that he lies to you about being with his mates ....... but, this isn't a consideration?

he has said at some point he'd like to get married and have kids ..... and you just allow yourself to run towards this emotionally sparkly thing, and it's irrelevant that you two don't even trust each other?

You two don't trust each other ...... but, you want to marry him?

this is priceless .. however, not surprising ... people are inherently ignorant.
That's really sad, SG ..... he was a victim. I hope like hell she didn't damage him, and now he won't be able to trust love when he finds it. Sad

maybe you'll be able to find him Big Grin
yes, p-angel. i'm a derranged, non trusting, emotional issues, needy, whiny piece of shite woman who wants to get married to a man who lies to her because she makes him do that.
"yes, p-angel. i'm a derranged, non trusting, emotional issues, needy, whiny piece of shite woman who wants to get married to a man who lies to her "


No arguement ..... good luck with finding a man who is actually true to you.
romantic act gone wrongSad what would p-angel say about it???? hm.....
All my friends who got married pretty much said about the same thing, when asked why. It all revolved around "I have no reason not to"
aries, I know you were being funny when responding to PAngel, but those are things to think about seriously.
Not trust, no relationship, failed marriage before it starts. Did he say he wanted to marry "YOU"?
"All my friends who got married pretty much said about the same thing, when asked why. It all revolved around "I have no reason not to"
Bad answer!!!! My ex husband's mom asked him that question and he said, "she completes who I am, she is a part of me" Which was true for a very long time and then things went to hell!!!
"Bad answer!!!! My ex husband's mom asked him that question and he said, "she completes who I am, she is a part of me" Which was true for a very long time and then things went to hell!!!"
That's the perfect answer one can give to a mother but between guys/friends answers may be different. I found that guys (around my way)got married when the woman has proven to be marriage material. If not the woman gets dragged along like forever.
