How do you guys ever so know that you're ready for a commitment/marriage?

I want a long living happy commitment and healthy one. My friend is 30 and got married last month. I'm happy for her but I wish I had a long healthy happy relationship. She has been with her man for 6 years. My relationships never last because every guy says I'm too easy, never disagree and I sugarcoat to protect their feelings. My sister has a boyfriend and she is straightfoward and blunt but thoughtful.

I think most guys, (and women too,) have an idea of their perfect partner in their minds, call them dreams or fantasies or whatever. When you get to the point that you realize that the one you dream/fantasize about doesn't exist, you try to choose the person that maybe comes the closest. so, in other words, everyone settles for one of the runner-ups.
