" Well, I think you should be totally honest with her and tell her how you feel. Tell her you care about her, but that right now the idea of marriage scares you, and you feel like this is making you push her away. Let her know what you think about the future. Like if there is a certain age where you can see yourself getting married like at 30 or 40 or whatever. Or if you just have no idea, let her know. Or if you like dating her, but could honestly never see yourself marrying her at all, then you should tell her. "

" I agree you can be honest with her. But, you are still in college finish that degree.But, today is a long way off from graduation. You don't have to be cautious. She didn't threaten you.And if you are scared you can be honest. Women appreciate honesty.Its day by day. You never know, she might change her mind! "

" I agree with the people here. But also, remember this.

She said "she wants me to marry her someday".

Wants means she's telling you how she feels, but is leaving the ball in your court.

Someday means she doesn't mean she's ready now, she just feels like she is that close to you and that you guys work so well together.

IMO, I don't think she meant it as I better get a ring in a month. I think it was just an honest random comment to express how close to you she feels and how much she loves you. But don't feel cautious or push her away. She isn't saying "I want to marry you. Can we get have the wedding on this date?" That, I would say yeah take a step back. But try to look at it for what it is and not just shy away because the word "marry" was in the sentence.

" yeah, just tell her how you feel.

Also keep in mind, im assuming shes about your age, that you guys are still pretty young. Plenty of ppl think they're going to get married to that special someone when they're young and it doesn't always happen that way. I thought I was going to marry my bf at 21 and 3 relationships later I'm still not married. LoL I say enjoy what you have w her and if it works out, great, and if it doesn't, then shes a wonderful girl who touched your life for awhile. Good luck! "

" I agree, she said someday. Like most people are saying, just be honest with how you feel .Tell her you care and are looking forward to the new things the two of you can experience together. No need to rush into marriage, you guys are young. =) Hope things work out. "
