Family Forum / Marriage / Divorce / July 2005

Perhaps the woman is not interested in raising another child.
You need to respect that, and find a better group in which to
post such drivel, like alt.support.I-want-to-marry-my-mom.

Maybe she thinks you're too young to get married, and doesn't want to
end up in divorce in 5 years because you "want to sow your oats"?

IMHO 20 is way too young to get married.

I'm 34 and have dated plenty of women in their 30s. They'll date you
for a month and move on. Older women are skittish and smart and
painfully independent. Not wanting to go deeper is a typical response
from them. Most of the time I get 4-5 dates and poof they're gone -- I
feel so used! Certainly, tho, after only a month they're not going to
talk about marriage. If you do start in on the ring thing, she's gonna
bolt.

I'm generalizing of course, but see nothing unusual about her response.

Why can't you find a woman to date you? I agree older women are more
fun, but you can still score 20-somethings, why not tag along with
them?
