First, a little background information: my boyfriend is 24, and I am 22. We have been friends for over 4 years, and have been dating exclusively for nine months. I know he'd like to be married at some point, I would like to get married (ideally) within the next 2 years or so.
A few nights ago, he said he felt it was very logical of him to love me (haha, I know, he's a bit silly thinking love is logical). Anyway, he reasoned, "...you're pretty, and smart, and you make me laugh and we fun together, and I know you'd be a good mother."
Now, even though he has been skittish to discuss marriage and the like, I have to wonder why on Earth me being "a good mother" would even have crossed his mind if he weren't starting to consider marrying me a serious possibility.
I'm not expecting a proposal within the next week, but what do you think? Does the "good mother" comment indicate that he is considering marriage within the near future?
Thank you to all who answer!!

He is seriously contemplating proposing to you and is letting you know that he would love for you to be mother to his children. Anyways he is smitten over you and he sounds like a nice guy
so be flattered and expect a proposal most likely in the next year or so. So to the future a Congrats may be in order and God Bless.

The gender of your interest shouldn't be a factor when formulating an answer. My boyfriend was actively pursued by a co-worker who wouldn't leave him alone until he said, "I am currently in a committed relationship. I am always happy to have more friends, but if you're looking for more than that I am not sure my partner would understand." It worked for him - good luck!

This does not necessarily mean that he wants to get married maybe he thinks that you are good with children and one day when that time comes then you will make a good mother. It is possible that he has thought about it but it doesnt mean anything until he pops the question. If your really worried about it this is something that you need to sit him down and talk about ask him how he feels about marriage and children then you will know where to take it from there

I'd say he not only loves you but admires you. You're probably good around kids, and / or have all the qualaties that a typical mother would possess. He probably feels he knows you very well, and he's probably right. That comment did come out of left field though, and if he's like the rest of us may have regretted saying it because it obviously freaked you out a bit. Your instincts are probably correct about him proposing. Have a happy life!

Most guys dont think that far ahead, but maybe he is starting to consider the prospect of marriage. Just hope for the best and be glad he said that!
Don't "expect" the marriage, but just be patient and in a year or longer maybe he will ask.

Why would ANYONE date someone for almost a year, and not be thinking about a possible marraige? Maybe he's not going to ask next week, or even in a year or two. But who would waste thier time and heart dating someone if its not going anywhere? He Has you on the List. If you don't want to be on it, then be nice and break up with him!

He knows you very well obviously and he sees how you are around others,,,you must have great qualities in yourself that he sees and knows you would be a great mom. Take the compliment but dont rush into thinking he said it because he wants to marry you right away. He said it because he sees the good in you.

Hell yes, hes saying that he looks at you as a potential mother figure for his children. He likes the attributes you have to offer and he sees that those would lead to you being a good mother to his kids!

I’d consider taking up knitting. He’s obviously looking for somebody to mend his woollen socks.
And maybe you should buy a recipe book on Italian pasta!
