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...

Wanting to get married someday to someone is one thing. I suppose at your ages she might be more desperate and want to be taken care of. Marriage is at least and minimally a partnership. The bible and christian religions all say a man and a woman are joined as one in marriage. They become "one flesh" That's a tough concept when you can still see two individuals. Nevertheless it's meant to be a very special relationship for the rearing of the next generation.
