Why would my guy friend joke about marrying me? Does it mean anything?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This isn't the first time this guy has joked about us and marriage, but this just happened recently.

I was over a friend's house, it was 4 of us. 2 guys and 2 girls (myself included). I said to Guy A: Heyy you need to find me a Caribbean husband that can cook as good as you!

Guy B chimes in: You have one right here.

I laughed rolling my eyes to say, "But you don't count.."(we're both Americans born to immigrant parents) The other girl in the room caught his comment and looked at us a little skeptically. I didn't take his comment seriously though.. still don't really

In another conversation I mentioned I would hate to be cheated on while married. I would be vindictive and probably put a laxative in my "future husband's" food. He says, "So you'd slip something in my food?" I just nodded and said yupp. (didn't really take it as anything)

aunt honesty agony auntIt sounds like flirty banter to me if I am being honest. Has he ever showed any other signs off liking you? Also do you actually like him? If you do then you should try and flirt more or ask him out some time on a date and see how it goes.

Also because, if guy B really meant that he is thinking of marrying you- he would not make such a great husband, right ?, since he also implies that he would cheat on you ( and risk eating laxarive ).

I think it's just a joke, just some humorous, friendly banter in line with the occasion, boys and girls chilling, cooking, eating, drinking.

I guess you are asking, but isn't it FLIRTY banter, rather than strictly friendly banter ? Yes, it is a bit flirty. But, IMO, no more than the situation warrants.

Maybe that's his " social " persona when there are women around, it's just a habit.

Or maybe, even, he was purposedly flurting with you, sort of hitting on you but in a lighthearted way: possible. But from here , to conclude that he has serious ideas about you, and that he means business.....

Denizen agony auntWhy not ask him if he has thought about getting married, in a general way, and see where the conversation goes?
