Six Signs He Will Never Marry You

Ladies, here's a dose of truth for you. Six signs he will never marry you. Six dang good reasons for you to end things and move on, or at least score some jewelry or something good before you kick him to the curb. I am in my early 30s, got married in my late 20s, and know the score. I have friends who got married right out of high school and friends who still haven't gotten married, so my information comes from various sources including my own experience, but I guarantee this is the honest truth.

Reason # 1 - He won't introduce you to his mother

Unless his mother is dead or in jail, he should eventually make an effort to introduce you to her. If he doesn't, it usually means he is somehow ashamed of you. Maybe he thinks his mom will disapprove or maybe he's worried you might think it would be the first step toward an expensive photo shoot with you in a white dress. Either way, a guy not willing to show his girl off to his mom is a guy who doesn't like you nearly as much as you think he does.

Note: If he introduces you to his mom before he introduces you to his friends, it means the guy is a big time mama's boy. Watch out for those types.

Reason # 2 - He's seeing other women (and you know about it)

I shouldn't even have to spell this out here, but I feel like it's necessary. If you're seeing a guy who is seeing other women besides you, then he's not going to marry you. The fact that you allow him to see other women is enough right there. If you're calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend then he ought to only be going out with you. If you haven't even reached the boyfriend/girlfriend stage, then maybe you should work on that and quit reading articles about whether or not he will marry you. Seriously.

Reason # 3 - He's cheating on you

If a man ever cheats on you, and I mean even just once, DO NOT MARRY HIM. If he can't even keep to a verbal agreement, because that's basically what a boyfriend/girlfriend pact really is, then don't expect him to go before a judge or preacher and make it official in the eyes of whatever state you live in. Don't marry a cheater. If you let him get away with that, he'll do it again. Trust me on this.

Reason # 4 - He's gay

I've known two straight women who fell in love with gay men and somehow thought they would convert or change them. Don't bother. Dudes who are into dudes don't get married unless they are preachers or politicians.

Reason # 5 - You keep bringing it up!

Let the guy do the asking, please. I know it sounds old fashioned and all that, but it does you no good to keep pressing the issue unless he's a big pushover. Don't try locking him into a pregnancy to score that wedding ring, because he'll hate you for it. Most guys realize that women start dreaming of their wedding day before they even hit puberty, so you don't need to keep bringing it up.

Reason # 6 - He tells you that he doesn't want to get married

Most guys are pretty blunt about things. I know some that have had issues with their parents or some previous relationship trouble (or a bad marriage) and it has them jaded about the whole idea of marriage. It's a shame, because there are some really good people out there who got screwed up by someone else. If this is the case, then you can forget about the marriage proposal. If a guy tells you he doesn't believe in marriage or thinks it's just a piece of paper, it means he really doesn't believe in marriage and really thinks it's just a piece a paper, or he just doesn't want to marry you. Move on.
