People who have never been married: Are you hoping to eventually get married, or do you have no interest in marriage?

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

I'm hoping to eventually get married.

I have no interest in marriage.

Not sure.

Something else.

[Alli112]

I put "hoping to get married" but it's more that like, I'd like to find a life partner, I think that can be very fulfilling and marriage basically just the commitment to that partnership, but I don't consider it an absolute necessity for a happy life or have any interest in forcing it if I don't meet someone compatible.

[HelpfulWoman]

I'm engaged (4 years) but i couldn't give a shit about marriage really. it doesn't change our relationship or dynamic in a meaningful way to me. hence why its taken a back seat to the rest of life.

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

So why bother getting engaged at all?

[HelpfulWoman]

partner and his family are into it as a thing to do. I love my partner. i intend to spend the rest of my life with him so if he wants one, we'll have one (we also discussed marriages beforehand and have a similar style of what we want, lowkey and small)

[Whaler]

Literally the entire goal right now. Marry young, get have kids young, and be able to have the energy to be there as they grow up.

Unfortunately that’s difficult, just can’t find the one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Sugar100]

I found the one at my job but we got fired and didn’t exhange numbers so we lost each other.

I fear I will see a guy as the one but he won’t and I’ll be sad 😞 & never be able have a frist boyfriend since no guy sees me as the one.
This is my fear. No one will love me back.

[Whaler]

@Sugar100 why are you telling me?

[Nirmroth]

I am fine with getting married on paper and a small Celebration with parents/siblings doesn't need to be bigger than that in my opinion. Rather spend the money on traveling afterwards.

[AI Opinion]

Diving headfirst into the world of love and commitment, I'm curious to hear your take on marriage! Are you dreaming of that walk down the aisle, complete with rings, vows, and a happily ever after? Or does the idea of marriage make you want to run for the hills, cherishing your freedom and solitude instead? Let's unwrap this topic together - where do you stand on the marriage spectrum? 🏹💘 Remember, there's no right or wrong here, just different strokes for different folks!

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

Shut up, Love Doctor Brad.

You will never have a soulmate, because you don't have a soul.

I want to eventually get married

[Skinhead-1979]

I've proposed once... I will never do that again.

Hell, I don't even see myself as 'relationship material' anymore... That's how much damage my ex has inflicted on me with her emotional abuse, manipulations and deceit.

I still love and adore women... that will never change (the only pictures I will have tattooed on my body are that of females... the rest will be covered in a Tribal Motif)... and I most certainly miss Romantic Companionship... but no, no relationship and certainly no marriage/ proposing for me

[Anonymous]

I’m 27 soon and never had a boyfriend. So I think I’ll never get married. I don’t want get married when I’m old 35-50. My parents prob won’t even be alive by that time. I want my first child next year at 27/28. I gave up on marriage and would at least like to live with a boyfriend and meet family. Have surprise pregnancy. I don’t think god will give me a husband.

[Opinion Owner]

So no longer hoping to get married lol that’s not even in the poll. Or destiny is never get married

[lightbulb27]

so you never had boyfriend but are having baby now?

[Opinion Owner]

@lightbulb27 no I said my dream is have my first baby next year lol.

[lightbulb27]

ok. don't give up, I know others that tried and tried, but succeeded years later than you. life seems like over by 30, but it's just start of other lives.
it's a lot of work, good work, but work... so enjoy your freedom.

[HelpfulWoman]

tbf, it's probably you that are the problem here. writing yourself off at 35 as old... red flags abound...

[lightbulb27]

@HelpfulWoman whose that refer to? she says she's 27. but yes, anyone that gives up at the starting line has not sufficiently been trained for the challenge ahead.

[HelpfulWoman]

@lightbulb27 her. her comment talks about " I don’t want get married when I’m old 35-50" in her original response. Which means she's set herself up to fail before she began

[LiamJHayden]

I would love to get married, but there are a few issues:

1. I'm congenitally sterile, so that eliminates women who want a family.
2. I'm a great friend, but seemingly a difficult romantic partner and have not had a relationship that has lasted even a year.
3. As long as no-fault divorce exists, I will not consider marriage.

[HawkPerception]

Definitely hoping to get married. The vision I have of my future involves a great proposal, a wedding night everyone will remember forever, and a family of my own with kids I can raise

[Universaldance]

There’s no shortage of women. I will get married. The challenge is that Im quite picky and looking for the sweetest cherry to have a more fruitful life with is all

[Sugar100]

There’s shortage of men no guy wants a girlfriend or marriage. Worst part is I’m not a guy so I can give a ring and propose to any guy I want. Only guys can do that it’s not fair

[Universaldance]

Ah I see. Well I must tell you there are actually plenty of men wanting to marry. A lot of us just haven't learned to dedicate ourselves to getting better in the right areas though so we’re just as frustrated

And we’re often deceived by our eyes so that ends up clouding our thoughts and beliefs too. Im sure if you tell yourself there are lots of men looking for someone like you to marry they ought to turn up eventually.. with enough grace for them

Not sure if you're familiar with metaphysical laws but I did something similar to gratitude in late March after not having any luck online and led to me finding more authenticity in myself just declaring a belief that women are easygoing and want to approach someone genuine like me and literally gave me all sorts of opportunities to socialize with them and learning more about some potential partners at the time who came as bold or as graceful and easygoing as I had declared for days

And just to put this out here also that a majority of us don’t understand a female’s communication style when it comes to courting them- let alone a big number of us who are still learning basic social skills (myself incl) And what we run into are either dealing with such toxic chasing games or we are learning to lead ourselves and you at the same time with these basic social skills but it’s frustrating to get anywhere without reciprocation 🥲🤣

And the world is not the most forgiving to men so they may not want to face so much rejection (hits to self esteem if not dealt with right) hence why one may feel there aren’t available men. The few that are have manned up or have gotten so good at attraction through flirting and their confidence that the woman is head over knees and heels which… thats another conv about intentions of fun

I may be projecting those last statements but I know there’s other guys like me wanting to share and provide to a mature lady and eventually become a family man just as we are

[Universaldance]

If one is wanting a traditional marriage sure the man will propose.
And in this modern day, there’s nothing wrong for a woman to propose to the man

(Weddings are ironic to me even though I’d want the moment because most couples focus more on investing in their wedding than their actual marriage) 😜🤔

[Simslover92]

I want to get married to my boyfriend soon but I know with finances it's going to take some time unfortunately 😔

[Ευδεμονια]

I’d honestly like to get married one day. I’d like to form a family and have someone to share my life with.

[RavVid]

? Women lost interest in till death do we part a long long long time ago.

[genericname85]

I don't know. i don't really see the benefit. i only see the huge cost and the risk of losing half my stuff.

[Crazzyyworld]

You just have to accept the fact that america is lonely place. Then it gets better?

[DrPepper12]

Its a tax break, investment and inheritance planning. That's all. You can do all that with an atty!

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Republicucks, are the reason i don't want kids or marriage

[coxoabean]

I am hoping to eventually get married

[wiltingrosepetal]
