<human>: I ask because my boyfriend has been behaving particularly smitten with me lately, and the other day, while we were having an incredibly romantic date "day", he mentioned weddings, wives, and marriage in his casual conversations with me a lot more than usual... and I mean a *lot* more than usual because he never talks about marriage and he brought it up at least eight times in completely unrelated convos. I also want to add that he never once referred to himself or his personal feelings about weddings, always talking about it in reference to other people. Kind of weird. Made me wonder if it might be on his mind?

For example, talk about a project he is working on ended up in a story about a particularly awesome, nerdy wedding that he thought was hilarious and amazing. He would also do things like bring up recent weddings of friends, or tell me that so and so has a wife, ect.

He and I have a very very strong, passionate connection that is like best friends + playmates + awesome amazing sex. It's kind of perfect. But he has never once told me how he feels about marriage, not seeming like the marrying "type", although he has "joked" about marrying me before. I say "joked" because he could of been serious, but I assumed it was a joke because I was too shy to ask or think otherwise. 

I don't know. Maybe I am looking to deeply into it. He doesn't really seem to be hinting at anything, as far as I can tell, but maybe guys do this sort of thing when they are thinking about it but don't feel comfortable enough to talk about it?

Anyway, any insight is welcome.

And for the record, I would totally marry him. I've never told him that, too shy, too afraid he wouldn't be interested, but I would do it in a heartbeat.

Give me a shortened version of the text
