Date Me, Marry Me. Which one are you?
Are you the girl that a guy would want to date? Or are you the girl that a guy would want to marry?
Some will claim that one cannot actually be certain about that esp if the relationship is in the early stages. Some will claim that couple will eventually discover between themselves that marriage is the next step.
But here’s the thing. If you’re an onlooker, can you tell if she’s the girl he would marry? How can you tell if a girl is just someone that this guy is dating, exclusively or not, and not someone he’s looking into spending the rest of his life with.
Are there qualities in a woman that can spell out “just for dating” or “ready for marriage”?
Personally, I’ve heard guy friends tell me that I’m not the sort that guys should fool around with. I’m the marriage sort, someone that should be taken seriously. Before proceeding to lambaste my foolishness and gullible personality, that is. They’re rough so I have to be tough. Pah.
Anyway, this caused me to wonder if there is such a classification. I’m especially curious to find out what guys think about this theory. Thoughts?

Dating and relationships are not constants, they are fluid, with frequently changing variables and circumstances. Relationships and people evolve.
As such, I think that men and women may fit into one or both categories. Or someone may be viewed as one, yet over time, that view changes. (probably more than once). I know as a single and dating woman, in my 30’s, that my own opinion of which category I am in changes frequently.

You left out the “You are so much fun to hang out with, just like a sister or something”

I can’t even begin to imagine how the male mind works so I can’t say what it is they look for. But such a classification definitely exists. There’s an old yoruba blessing that says - may you not use your husband as a boyfriend and may you not use a boyfriend as husband…just a rough translation.
I would be intereseted in the comments here.
