Just curious...how can you get a guy you like to marry you? What makes a girl marriage material? What makes a guy not like you or want to get married?

get him to respect you. That includes being picky, sticking to your principles, sometimes being hard to get, standing on your own. Make him need you. Well, on occasion being passionate does not hurt.

girls are usually ready for marriage and commitment way way before guys. and you can't make a guy want to get married...there just is no such thing. and on one can make a generalization about what makes a guy or a girl 'marriage material' it really depends from person to person and from one couple and the kind of relationship and understanding they have as compared to another. but just some common sense pointers be it a girl or guys he/she should be mature, should know who they are, be ready for a serious commitment emotionally, mentally AND financially!! love is a great thing but it don't put food on ur table clothes on ur back nor does it pay ur bills. Both individuals should be secure about who they are and should have achieved what they want in life from their own individual selves, meaning they should be someone on their own, by themselves and in themselves. they should be their own definition, their personality, their career, their likes and dislikes and goals, ambitions and expectations should be their own and not dependent upon his/her partner. you can't tell yourself or another person that you or he/she is ready for marriage or is or isn't marriage material you just have to 'feel' that way. and some people take longer than others to be ready... especially emotionally. No matter how much thought anyone puts into answering this question unfortunately there is no accurate answer. and some times ....well... a lot of times one person in a relationship is way ahead of the other, and thats ok. you just either have to wait till the other person catches up or if you feel and think they are not going to then you move on and try to find yourself someone who is on the same page emotionally and mentally as you are, but you can't make someone think about marriage and get them to be committed...thats just not right because you may be able to force or push someone into a commitment but u wouldn't be able to keep him there for long. let ur heart guide you and let his guide him...till both are in unison on the same path.good luck!

the girl should look for a man that is marriage material. Meaning he's stable, a good provider and wants out of the dating game

Be loving and caring and kind. Respect yourself and show that you think enough of yourself to take care of your body and mind. "Marriage material" differs for every man. It is a matter of finding the one who is suited to you and letting him realize you're right for him. What makes a guy not like you is if you are nasty and mean or desperate and clingy.

Just be yourself, don't wait for some guy to tell you that you are marriage material. If you are being yourself then its not you that the problem.

Honestly? Be a challenge, but very sweet. Show interest in many things, not just him. Don't be desperate and clingy, just be joyful. Let him call you! Don't be critical. Have lots of friends and spend time with them. Guys want the chase. They want to feel like they are winning something, not being chased down.

Basically if a girl is demanding and wants to change who you are then its a big no no.
Guys will be motivated by different things from the traditional things like being a good mother to succesful career woman.
In the end of the day:

Stop trying to "get" the guy to marry you. Geez, give the relationship time before you jump on him about the altar. Marriage is serious. Don't hope every single guy is the one, there are plenty out there. Treat a guy with respect, love, and loyalty.
Don't get serious too quick, it makes you look psycho and desperate. Don't pressure him for commitment.

Good things: laid back, not a nag, somewhat quiet (takes breaths between sentences.), nice to everybody even if you're not interested, take care of yourself, and interested in what the guy has to say or what he does for a living.
