But you don't spend the holidays with your boyfriend's parents
you don't cook for him
you don't do his laundry
you don't see him more than twice a week
you don't do anything beyond a kiss on the face
Yes, if a girl wants to find a husband... take things slower physically.
Horn dog players will run but they probably would never have married you anyway.
restrict yes. I think you have to hold your line and values. that speaks volumes... whatever it is. If he's interested, he will stay.

Sounds more like a way for him to find another woman. If that's all that's on the table I'd think smash piece while finding wifey. If we're not even having sex I'm going to try to screw your friends, if that doesn't work out and you're doing some twice a week peck on the lips thing, too frustrating, I'm out.
Bullshit.
Though I agree with not cooking for him (as a habit) or doing his laundry (as a habit). Those are important for him to be able to do on his own.
Bad advice.
1. If he's introducing you to his parents he's making a conscious decision that he wants to introduce and display you to the most important persons in his life, his own family. Which already means he sees you as a potential long term partner and potential wife.
2. Utter nonsense. If you like him and you know how to cook one of the best ways to display affection and your own dedication to a long-term relationship IS to cook for him. That does not mean that you become his personal chef, but, humans need food. The act of providing sustenance for another is very endearing, especially if it's delicious. It goes both ways. He should cook for you as well. It is an evolutionary display that if you reproduced together your children would be well fed.
3. Unless you're both doing it on rotation then, yes, I would agree. If he cannot throw a few of your clothes in the laundry then you should not be concerned with his.
4. If you do not see him more than twice a week the obvious conclusion he will come to is that you do not like to see him more than twice a week. That's not marriage, you're going to see each other almost every single day until one of you die. So, if you like him, let him know that you do.
5. How far you decide to go is up to you and him.
Disagree. I think most men will lose interest and find a new chick. If you want to make him wait on sex for a while until you know its gonna be more than a fling i think that's fine. Only see him twice a week is kind of weird as a rule although due to our schedules that's how often we see each other anyway. The other things depend on how long you've been dating. after being together for a while some of those things just kinda happen. Although unless you're living together I don't see why a woman would be washing clothes for her boyfriend. I would do it if we live in the same house and share household responsibilities as well as bills but im not gonna go over to his house and wash his clothes for no reason all random.
Look the things you have listed here are things people do when they care about someone.
Marriage is a decision, one both parties make if you want a guy to marry you then you should broach the subject with him. Don't play silly games waiting for him to get down on one knee and propose.
If anything I would prefer to marry the woman that DOES cook and do laundry and goes on holidays with my family even though we're not married as opposed to the woman who's giving me the trial version of the relationship waiting for me to subscribe for unlimited access, that's not a keeper in my eyes
Yes and no. But I should preface this by admitting I've never wanted and still don't want to get married...
I think if you want a guy you really like to marry you, you should treat him great--but authentically. Not manipulatively, as in trying to trick him into having feelings for you. Make him happy. Bill Burr says guys really like their women to make 'em sandwiches. So make him a sub he'll remember 50 years later...
What I think you SHOULD withhold are things like nagging, criticizing harshly, ridicule, dishonesty, physical or emotional aggression (outside of play...). Leave all the crap that makes married people stray OFF the table. Before marriage and after.
I don't do games. And I wouldn't be with anyone who played games with me. Enjoy!
You do those things only if you want to be his carpet and slave.
Basically what you’re saying is this person has to marry you to get anything good out of the relationship. Sure that’ll get some guys to marry you faster but for all of the wrong reasons.
If you just want to get married it’s a good plan. If you want avoid relationship you should probably not go that route
Absolutely idiotic.
Seriously, "... you don't spend the holidays with your boyfriend's parents" Is this some sort of treat? If i don't see you twice a week i finding someone more attractive, better than you that will. I doubt he said that, i doubt anyone's said that actually.
... and you don't get married. That would not remotely capture my interest. The holidays parents things would be an issue to me not would the cooking and laundry because women I have dated never do that anyway. The no more than twice a week... that is where I would lose interest fast.
I call B. S. There is no blueprint. But logically, if the guy wants to marry you, he will. If I'm put on punishment, I'm gonna think that i did something wrong. Why complicate s***? Just communicate, for heavens sake. If a person really has a hard-on for marriage, try getting closer. Don't freakin create more problems.
I agree. If a woman is willing to give a man the benefits of marriage without the obligations, he is unlikely to marry her unless:
1. He has moral objections to sex before marriage, or
2. He suffers from a severe case of one-itis AND is concerned that she will leave without the ring.
Stupid. It'll just push a man to look elsewhere. Some of it also comes across as controlling to me. No sex? .. At first maybe for a while. Only kissing on the face, only getting together twice a week are both just stupid.
Is the author a religious pastor or something? . That's advice they might give..
I think dating rules are different for every person and it's up to each individual to decide what those rules and boundaries are. The real question is when someone sets the boundaries can you respect them...
When I move in with my girl and I know she is busy, I will cook for her, tidy up, wash her clothes include bra and knickers etc. I would love to spend the day chatting to her parents etc.
It sounds like an effective way to convince your boyfriend that you’re lazy and selfish. How could that possibly be appealing? Why would he assume it would change after marriage?
It makes sense to me. You act like a wife before hand, why would he need to marry you? I don’t agree with the parents though.
.☝️only answer that is right and worth the time. @jennifer_bloom. Show him you can be a wife. But he needs to earn that service. Earn it by a ring on your finger. And guys be sleek nowadays. Get a wedding too while you are at it. And when you get what you want, give him what he wants. That fine ass and wife service.
You about that and I doubt any man would ever view you or any woman as marriage material.. culo muerto.
I don't know what that means but I'm guessing so the boyfriend doesn't become to self dependent on you?
Nope. I wouldn't even want a guy like that, let alone see myself doing that...
