How Long Does It Take a Man to Know That He Wants to Marry You?
There is no easy answer to this question as each man takes a different amount of time to decide if marriage is something he wants. There are a couple of important factors to take into account though including the length of your relationship and how he responds to the idea of commitment.
If you have only been dating for a few months, that is probably too soon for him to decide if marrying you is something he would want. Conversely, if the two of you have been dating for years and he has still not made up his mind, that is a concern.
Talking with him about taking your relationship to the next level is a good way to start, and if you feel comfortable enough, asking him about marriage is a good way to gauge his interest level.
