Well, I said some things and you asked me some questions. That's why we're having a conversation. :ROFL:



Sorry. Honestly forgot. I don't come across your username often. :LOL:



I mean being in an actual dating relationship. "Boyfriend and girlfriend." Where you're making progress and have a trajectory towards engagement and marriage. And where that's the goal.



Yeah, for example. I mean, you're going to need to be able to afford an engagement ring, if you want to follow that tradition. And afford a wedding, if you want one. And afford a separate place to live. And afford to raise and provide for a family.

I mean, it'd be wise to set yourself on that path before you date, get engaged or marry. I wouldn't want to marry just anybody and then just hope that it'll all work out. Marriage is a serious commitment. So it should be taken seriously. You should plan for it, prepare for it.

That's what I meant.



A family needs to be provided for, yes. I mean, if you're married, things are going to cost more.
Actually in a healthy marriage, 2 people can save more money. Share housing, home cook meal, share transportation if frugal....
Many marriages accumulate wealth.

I have no more thoughts.

I don't want to be married at this stage. Dating is fine, but I can't be bothered getting married. I already share a house, cook meals at home, and drive people around. Also sometimes I am called to babysit and help out at school.

I don't see any benefit in being married. To someone I don't know. lol

When I was in my 20s, I lived in a dark basement apartment, struggling with work, social life, loneliness.... now I look back , all these were blessings that prompt my desire for marriage.
