A guy started talking about marriage and kids on the first date, why?

[Anonymous]

I'm 23, he's 25. He started asking me if I've thought about husband and kids and asked me if I'm scared of being alone? As he wanted kids and to be married and was scared of being alone.

Why was he talking about this?

Maybe just he wanted to see how you´re long-term plans are. He wanted to show you his opinions and that he probably wants a woman he can settle down with.
I also use such scenarios to check out if the woman and I have the same ideas for future. It´s not that we want to make certain plans for the future.

Either he really wants to be a dad, which is cute, or he's seriously complexed.
Vet him carefully before taking a decision, for an eventual mental impairment could have bad repercussions in case of break up.
Always be careful, especially when your potential partner shows signs of unbalance.

He's desperate, insecure, and just wants to get married so he's not alone. Besides you're only 23 so you're probably not ready to be a mom yet, especially with a dude like that.

[Gray-Wisp]

That's obviously his ultimate objective. When people date sometimes they don't date to marry they just want to go out and have a good time. If you don't want the same things then why invest in this relationship? You're just wasting everyone's time. He seems honest, straight forward, and logical, which in my opinion is a very good thing.

He's painfully insecure and desperate for someone to mommy him. Never mind about raising kids of your own; if you get involved with this guy you'll be raising him.

[ArrowheadSW]

The first date is a bit early for this. But he is saying that he is looking for a woman to marry and raise kids with.

[Avicenna]

Because it's important to him and he wants to meet someone with a similar interest in marriage and kids

This simple.

[jshm2]

He was hinting that he's looking long term, and asking how you're coping with the mental anguish of never finding "the one".

[TommyMountainFigure]

Maybe he doesn't realise the quickest way to scare someone off is to talk about subjects that make other people uncomfortable.

[spartan55]

Who cares why? I would have ran the other direction.

[Browneye57]

Cuz he's looking for wife material. Are you one? If not, just tell him you're gonna ride the cock-carousel for a decade and then reassess. Save him the time and trouble it takes to get to know you.

[TheBigGuy9]

Depends on a lot of things. How did he bring this up? What was the setting? Was it casual conversation or serious?

[Wise4myage]

Yeah, that's a red flag in my opinion, because he's coming off as desperate.

[Anonymous]

He is looking for someone to have that and is saying it on the first date to weed out people that are not into it.

[Anonymous]

He works fast and wants kids since you’re 23 and approaching your deadline

[es20490446e]

To see if you are serious or casual.

[jahaims]

To see where your values lie

[bannacookies]

That is a bit weird to say that on the first date.

[msc545]

GIANT. RED. FLAG RUN!

[fred_durst]

because he is drunk AF

[In_Trance]

His timing is way off

[Yellovv]

He want to make kids from you..

[Anonymous]

He’s seeing if he needs to weave you out or not
