what does it mean when a guy asks a woman this question?

just something wed like to know, lol....... a lot of women say feck marriage, and that says something about thier personality, maybe hes reading deeper than the question

If you are beautiful, you'd probably hope the guy does not want a relationship. If you're not, you probably hope he want's one. So what ever you want, what I do think you will be able to sense is, if the guy is in sync with you. And if you can't, ask a casual question. If he is smart, he'll understand that you are exactly asking for what you hope is not the case. If he tries not to hurt you, he wants just a coffee. If he doesn't dare to answer, he wants more.

As supposed linear thinkers, guys like to have a game plan. It isn't even that he is necessarily for or against marriage, he just wants to know what the possible roads are so he can properly prepare (or so he can get drunk and skip town...)

Its too simple a question to really garner anything from, honestly...

That means he just wanted to know if that was in your plans...But I have yet to meet a woman that does not want to get married!!!LOL either that or he is planning on it being him or he is going to run like hell!!!

Maybe he is curious. Maybe just makin conversation. Maybe he plans on askin you or really considers you as a possibility hon. After all, that is the whole reason to date, right?

Many of us guys simply don't get hints, innuendo, and other forms of communication. As a result, it's often easier on the relationship to simply come out and ask.

I guess he figures your the non marrying type and your not one to settle down. So he wanted to ask if you were ever going to get serious.

could be he found the one he wants to and is to ashamed to ask because of being turned down. Guys do that to keep some of their pride, we have a hard time with that when it comes to the ladies.

He wants to marry you sometime in the future.

There's a thing called being curious and he could have just wanted to know.
