Ever told someone "I'm going to marry you one day"?

[dough777]

Have you ever met a women and then right away told them you were going to marry them one day? I feel like sometimes you just know after just getting to know someone that they are your soul mate and that you are meant to spend the rest of your life together. I have heard of people doing this but I have never known anyone personally that has actually said this.

 

If you have ever told this to someone what was their reaction and did you ever actually end up marrying that person?

 

For Women, if a guy tells you this how would you feel about it?

2 weeks after we got together, my partner bought me an engagement ring.

He'd never bought his exes an engagement ring.

 

He said he just knew.

 

That was in 2004.

 

We're getting married on the 24th of this month.

That happened to me.

 

During the first date, ok it wasn't a date, it was a hook up, but during the first night of the hook up, with someone I knew online for two years, but we barely tolerated each other, just wanted to get together and party, didn't even think we liked each other. We hadn't even met really yet, I had no idea what he looked like, we didn't even flirt online, just argued. We had met one time before, but I couldn't remember if he was the big tall black guy or the skinny little white guy and it really didn't matter since all we were suppose to do was hang out.

 

Anyway, during the spur of the moment weekend together - the hanging out turned out great - he made a comment about getting married. He even said that when we have a son we will have to name him "John Boy" (not real name) because of "this meaning" to the name and he liked names with meaning. I'm thinking yeah whatever crazy man. Play with the head of the fat girl, but eh, it was a cute fantasy for a day or two. Or so I thought.

 

And after he went home I figured I would see him online and that was the end of it. In stead he called....all the time. Back before long distance wasn't that cheap to call. And we spent every bit of free time driving the 5 hours that was between us. And he kept talking about when we would get married.

 

I didn't know what to think after a while. He wasn't telling me he loved me. Just that we would get married. 2 months later, as I was getting ready to go the 5 hours back to where I lived and go straight to work, he told me he loved me. So I promptly quit my job and moved in with him (basically). A few months later we were engaged but he didn't ask, he just said we were doing it and picked out a ring. He then proceeded to ask me every time he had a little too much to drink to make up for not asking the first time.

 

In August it will be 14 years since we eloped. March was 16 years since I opened my door to him. It has been 18 years since we started talking online. We did name our son "John Boy". He still says that when I opened the door he knew he would spend the rest of his life with me. That he would never find someone better to be his life's partner. He hasn't been perfect, but then neither have I. And I don't think it was love at first sight. But it was a sense of this is where I belong.

I never said it, but I thought it. Never married anyone else, either. Its an interesting question because I've been talking to her a little again lately and I've wondered if that was something she should know or would want to know or if it was just better left unsaid.

WOW, CCL sighting. Great to see you back here.

My ex boyfriend told me this on our second date. It freaked me out a bit because I was only 19 and a freshman in college. It was my experience, that my ex did this out of neediness and underlying emotional issues that did not become extremely apparent until about a year into our relationship.

 

My husband was much more wishy washy about marriage, so it was a tad confusing for me whether or not he did intend to marry me one day.

 

So two very different marriage related scenerios. I would probably prefer a middle ground, like bringing up the marriage factor not too early or too late, but like 6 months into the relationship.

I went home after a job interview and told her I was going to marry that man and that man was my supervisor and yes I did marry him for a bit over ten years.

Not to long ago I went on a date and a guy said "I'm going to marry you" and I quit talking to him because he sent me a nude pic of himself and that didn't sit well with me.

Thanks And its not even for a problem. I just got bored with my usual haunts online and decided to come check what was going on around here.

My H is the son of my grandfather's best friend. My grandfather knew 15 years before I did that he was the one I would marry. I didn't even live in the same state then!

[aerogurl87]

My ex did that to me. We talked/dated online (long distance relationship) for about 3 months. Within two months he told me he knew he was gonna marry me one day and we were soulmates. When we first met in person, he made the comment that he wished he'd bought a ring before we met because he would've proposed to me the first day we spent together. And nope, we're not together, but we still consider each soulmates. But then again, just cause your soulmates doesn't mean you have to or should end up together.

 

Anyway, him telling me that made me feel he was a bit crazy at first. But as time went on I saw why he felt that way and thought maybe he could be right.

[fascinated]

My first kiss told me when I was 11, again when we saw each other in high school and later in college. Finally after college, he insisted he was serious and that he was going to "get on with his life and marry me." I said he was crazy and didn't know me at all all. Turns out we were both right, and we've been married 21 years and counting.
