    A half truth and a bad thought in a dating relationship

    Girlfriend is desperate for marriage. Not sure though.

    So a little bit of an update to this thread: TLDR: My girlfriend is very attached to me and wants to get married to me. She is in her mid 30's so time is not on her side and she also never had a boyfriend before me. So I think she feels like I am her only hope. I have not been exactly feeling...

    Confusing aspects of dating a European girl
