We have been best friends for 25 years, a couple of times he expressed romantic interest during that time, & at times I entertained the idea. But our timing on that was never the same. Then last year we met for a football game (we live about 4 hours apart), & something was different! He just looked different to me, and we had SO much fun. The next day I couldn't stop thinking about him, and he called to say he was having the same issues. We started talking daily from there. Now we agree that we want a relationship together, and we have been intimate. After all these years, I know this man is the one I want to spend my life with, now how do I move him along?

As you probably know by now, men don't like to feel pressured and women...well we can be needy and want answers to everything right away. You should keep having fun with him for a while and play it by ear. If you reach a point where you feel comfortable enough to talk about marriage (hopefully you will get to that point), then bring it up. Good luck!

Honestly... isn't it enough just finally BEING with him??? Who cares about a document legally binding you... you have all the time in the world to do that... and even if you never do -- you'll be with him and you'll be happy! Isn't that the most important part? I've learned that guys get absolutely nothing out of the institution of marriage unless the woman is rich... it's just unneccessary (spelling???) right everyone? A wedding would be nice, but in my opinion it's just icing on the cake. Being with the man you love is the real fruit here... come on ladies... smarten up!

He isn't going to ask until he is ready. There is a difference in knowing some-1 in a friendly way & getting to know them in an intimate way. You 2 need time to know each other in that way. He may not be ready for that kind of commitment, & you don't want him to feel pressured b/c it might scare him off. You have waited this long, you can wait on him a little longer.
Good Luck!

lol, i got mine to start thinking about marriage by taking him as my date to my sister's wedding, so if you've got an upcoming wedding to go to.....if not, you could always subscribe to a few wedding magazines.....he might get the hint :D

So.....what's the rush? Besides, there's nothing stopping you from asking him if you feel that strongly.
