I was just recently proposed to from a man I've been knowing for 8 months. I said yes at first but then later no because I'm not ready to marry him right now. I said yes initially bcuz I want to marry him I'm just not convinced yet that I should. I haven't met any of his family or friends yet not even his son. He wants to wait until we're engaged before introducing me to his family, but is fine with meeting mine beforehand. He also wants us to get married before his lease ends at the end of the year so we won't have to be paying rent at two different places, but to me it shouldn't be a concern of his right now so to me it raises a red flag. He knows how I feel about these two issues and is willing to respect my feelings about them and continue on with me. What are your thoughts?
You have feelings and intuition for a reason. Heed them. You know you don't want to really marry this guy. So, don't. Trust me, you'll be doing yourself a favor by listening to your doubts here. Don't string this relationship along. Make a clean break and move on.

Picking out a good mate is unfortunately quite like eating at a buffet. You pick out what you believe is the best items while ignoring the rest, but if led to making a second trip, your selections are reduced even more to only the best to your liking. Don't compromise.

Thanks. Good news, I didn't marry him. God told me to close the door on him so I did. Found out immediately after he had been living a double life. Was involved with another woman the whole time, got engaged to her about the same time he proposed to me and just married her in Nov. When I confronted him about this, he took no accountability and flipped it on me as though I was in the wrong. Still can't believe it, but glad I listened to God. I would probably be living in a real life nightmare had I gone ahead with the marriage.
