Do you think he could be serious about marriage?

Question - (6 August 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 August 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My BF came round to see me and meet my parents for the first time the other day. Whilst we were out walking together he made mention that maybe we should tell my parents that we were engaged just to see how they'd react. At the time I thought he was joking and laughed telling him they'd probably wouldn't be too impressed and that they'd think I was pregnant. He laughed at that too and i added that it'd be doubtful they'd believe it anyway as there was no ring as proof, to which he mimed pulling off the ring he always wears and putting it on my finger before kissing my hand and laughing again saying no that wouldn't work either as it hasn't got a big gem on it for me.

At the time I took it as he was just joking around and showing how much he thought and cared for me. But looking back now we've had a conversation about what we wanted from our relationship together, long term, and about what we wanted in the future, kids etc.

What I'm asking is, is this just what I took it to be at first instance or is he testing the waters to see how things stand, if he is genuinely considering the idea of proposing or getting too serious too soon, how can I get him to wait of his own accord, I do genuinely love him and don't want to put him out by confronting him about it but to me it is just too quick.

So again, my question is; was he just joking, showing that he cared and has a high opinion of me, or was he potentially been serious?

hehe looking back at this before i post it I feel a bit silly for asking but whatever, anything would be helpful and much appreciated. xxx

If a guy asks you about getting engaged or married and not proposing then chances are he's got his future on his mind and can picture you in it. Don't rush into anything but I'm sure things will work out wonderfully for you two
