 So Lisa says what is the progression of dating to long-term relationship to possible marriage? I'm in an exclusive relationship for seven months. It's been a long time since I've dated and been in a relationship well The progression is that a guy meets you and that you date for about three months after the three month mark Usually what happens is you guys start letting down your guards and start revealing Who you truly are to each other and start opening up your vulnerabilities and start Releasing all your stuff and then at some point between the six-month mark and the like one year one and one year and a half mark He's already figured out that Exactly what he wants, right? So by the one year mark He's definitively figured out what it is that he wants with you. And so If he wants to get married, he knows that by then and if he doesn't want to get married He knows that by then he might even know that by now Since you guys have been together for seven months, but it's it's been shown in studies They've actually done studies on this where they found that guys know unanimously usually after the six-month mark What kind of a relationship they want to be with with you be in with you and so The progression is that at one point he decides that he wants to be with you forget forever and that part of his expression of love and showing you that he wants to be with you forever is that he pops a ring on your finger and Wants to get married to you That's that's the progression It happens like that and all the other things that happen don't mean anything All the other stuff that happens with whether it's meeting his friends meeting your friends and family Meaning his friends and family, you know living together Like all of that stuff none of that stuff You know Sleeping in the same bed together Cuddling while you fall asleep none of that stuff means that he's moving towards marriage none of it does What happens is that there's a Switch that's flipped in a man's mind and he goes from zero to a hundred where he's like Been thinking about it and he starts really thinking about it And then he does it and he usually knows that Somewhere between six months in a year of being with you And I know that can be shocking because a lot of women have a proof like step-line progression of how How this stuff works? It's not it's not true for most guys
