<human>: My boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship. We known each other for 10 months, physically dated and seen each other for 6.

We were texting back and forth as usual, he said he missed me, and I told him that I missed him too. Then he said, "Hypothetically if a guy asked you to marry him right now that you were dating for only a few months (6), what would you think?"

Taking it as a joke, I replied "Haha hypothetically? It would depend on the guy!"

About 15 minutes later, he texted back but something not related. He just said something like, "eating dinner is good, but not as good as eating it with you"

**I suppose I'm just wondering what would make him bring up the idea of marriage? or why he would say that?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Boyfriend [28m] of 6 months asked what I [24f] would think if he hypothetically asked me to marry him. Kind of out of nowhere
