Will he ever commit?

I have been with my boyfriend for 7 months now, we have lived together for 6. It was one of those "you just know" sort of things. Well that's how it was at the beginning. We have gone through our ups and downs like any couple does. He was previously engaged, but never married the girl. She sorta pushed it on him and he would never commit to setting a wedding date because he really wasn't ready. Now with me, he will always say phrases like if you play your cards right, a ring will be coming or your birthday is soon so maybe we could.. But nothing ever happens. He will then say how he doesn't see the point of marriage and that he is still unsure about us. I'm not a selfish girl that just wants a ring, I'm for waiting till we get older and wiser. But I just don't want to waste my time...because marriage is something I want.

I think it's too soon! I understand he didn't marry the other girl. But everyone is different. I think it takes time and living together after a month is a huge risk. Rushing into things usually doesn't turn out good....

Ummm if he didnt marry the first chick what makes you think you're so special? I think you should rethink the whole living situation and not even think about marriage :)

Well, to be perfectly honest, he has told you he doesn't want marriage. I wouldn't read it any other way then he doesn't want to get married.  I am not sure if he will change his mind as you all "get older and wiser."  Red flag: He didn't marry the other gf either; doubt if he marries you, and I doubt it was because she "nagged" him about marriage.  I just doesn't want it.  

May I ask, how old are you are?  You sound very young.  Plus, you all have only been together for 7 months and you already want a ring/talking about marriage?  Hmmm, I think that is too soon.  

I am not sure how old you are.  If you are over 21, I would try dating men who are commitment-oriented/believe in marriage just like yourself.  

If you can't agree on marriage, forget it.

He's got a point "he doesn't see the POINT of marriage".
