I'm taken back by many things being stated that imply his supposed desire for marriage...when they actually don't. Sure, there are limitless subtle cues that say he desires marriage (one day), can see himself marrying you or that there's simply long-term relationship potential. And yet those things don't necessarily mean he's ready to get down on one knee, make you his wife, be your husband, commit to you *that way*, or say I Do to you.
