I Want to Get Married

So I want to get married some day... and I have been making a conscious effort to get out and expand my network of friends. I was out with someone yesterday and she brought up wanting to get married and hoped things could work out between us. It triggered the biggest fight or flight response in my mind. I guess I should say I went into it as lunch with a new friend... not as a date, I guess she thought it was more but nonetheless... is it that it was brought up on the first time in a face to face meeting? Is it just the typical guy response? Why did the mere mention of marriage strike such a fear in me... I want to get married someday... I don't get it, maybe I just don't want to be rushed into it. At the time I let it roll off and then she sent me a text later and brought it up again...

This sounds like me. I want to get married someday and trying to get out and meet some more people as well. I am also scared as well. I hear a lot of bad things in the media and see things in the family that make me wonder if I truly want to be married. The person I am in contact with at the present time seems to have a better understanding and acceptance of me than others I have met before. I wonder if it would work out between us or not.

Things do change after you get married, because now you are trying to join two minds together that think differently. It becomes a battle when either party doesn't realize that there is more than one way to do anything. One thing to highly consider is each other's background to determine if you will be on the same page dealing with finances, children, mutual support, intimacy, religion, goals, etc.
