Wedding bells not ringing

Not all women jump at marriage proposals. Some may do but some would get shocked with that, especially if she’s known you only for a very short time.

She’d think the rush has a catch, that there’s something shady why you want an instant commitment. Relationships go through processes and stages.

I don’t believe in “first love at first sight”. Love is deeper than what the eyes see (that might be just lust), love is more than just physical attraction, and marriage, so much more than that. Marriage is a BIG decision, a lifetime commitment, a vow that you can’t just break when you’ve realized you’ve made a mistake and married the wrong person.

There are several reasons why I think a woman would not commit to marriage:

1.    She really doesn’t have feelings for you and you cannot force yours on her.
2.    She’s not ready. Maybe she’s still uncertain of her feelings for you or she thinks it’s too soon.

To the men:

Do not try to impress a woman by popping this question (“Will you marry me?”) prematurely. The promise of marriage doesn’t guarantee genuineness of you intentions. Rushing implies obsessiveness and possessing which can be scary for a woman.

And please, it’s so ridiculous asking a girl if she will marry you if she’s not even your girlfriend! Don’t blame her if she stops talking to you.

Timing is important!
