He often tells me about how he's going to marry me, and he's always the one that brings it up.. then every so often he'll backtrack and say that of course he's not going to ask just yet. We've been going out for a year noew, and he must have started saying this stuff about 6 months ago. SO, what do you reckon? is he just spinning me a line? Am i just getting antsy because I REALLY want it to happen and it seems like he's teasing me with the possibility?Thanks Lily

Anyway, if he brings the conversation up and not you, try to remember when he brought it up and what was going on. Men feel they are obligated to ask a women a serious question when there are "emotions". If you are having relations, or you had a bad day, or if he had a bad day and you were there to comfort him. If he brought it up then tells you that he doesn't want to ask yet, then he is just trying to get your reaction. Maybe he wants to wait until he thinks that is what you want. Men need us,
"women", to point tings out to them. Ask why he brought it up and then let it go. Tell him you are a women and if he really tought that you were going to forget about it then he doesn't know women at all. You want to know what he is thinking and if he seeshimself being married to you. You will get the truth. But also be patient. He really might want to get married, in like, 10 years. Are you willing to wait for him? and for how long?

 I don't think he is stringing you along, i think he looking torwards the future. He is basically telling you that you are the one he wants to marry. I think he is being sensible here saying im not going to ask just yet, as he probably thinks dating just one year is to soon. Give it time get to know each other inside out before getting engaged then married.
All the best x

 If you've only been dating a year, it would be odd to get engaged. You guys should be together for a few years first, and this is probably what it going through your mind. In your first year together, he's still getting to know you. He obviously fell hard enough for you to know that when he's ready, he'll marry you. Don't rush it. You're not being strung along.
