Dating with intention…

Ok question. Im 20.. and I know im young however I’ve already started my career and moved out etc.. I always see myself settling down maybe at around 25-27 ish, doesn’t have to be kids doesn’t have to be marriage but secure and in something long term But not opposed to marriage and kids

Yes I know things change etc… however as of right now it’s what I want.

I’m talking to a guy who’s 23 and we were talking about what age we want marriage.. and of course like most guys would he said “I don’t see myself doing that in a long time” and “Lots of ppl end up finding someone to marry later on in life not the person they find when they are young, it’s rare that it happens”

I wasn’t offended BC that’s what 90% of people say… however…. I also don’t wanna get into a relationship and put all my stuff aside for him and then find out 5 years later he still doesn’t want all that stuff I want…

But he said he really is considering getting into a relationship with me and he hasn’t been in one in 3 years…

I’m not expecting a guy to want to marry me after 2 months of exclusive talking … but how do u go about this dating stuff 😂…

I know I’m talking crazy but I’ve just seen it happen to so many women! Especially in my family… wasting time for 5,10,15 years because they don’t want the same things etc..

I just worry… I don’t wanna waste time but I also don’t wanna be overly cautious and then cut guys out of my life because I “think” they might waste my time
