How many women would date?

Question

a guy that you knew never wanted to get married again. I am talking about a middle aged guy that has been married twice. I am not looking for a date here dont get me wrong. Would you date a guy long term that you knew would never marry you? What if there was the possiblity of living togther?

Please give reasons, thanks

Answer 1

No,

I'm 46 and have never been married.  I'm not in any rush, but I do plan to marry sometime in life and would like to know that my partner wants to make the same commitment (whether he's been married before or not).

Answer 2

Honestly marriage isn't a top priority of mine, i would be satisfied with living together. a year ago i was convinced i would never get married, that i couldn't keep my mind at ease with the idea, but now that i'm with my boyfriend, i see it as a big possibility someday:)

Answer 3

That wouId actually be exactly what I am looking for, so I would surely date him, but I wouldn't live with him. First, I don't want to adjust my lifestyle to anybody. Second, I think that it's either\or: either you declare that you don't marry, then please keep your own house and do your own dishes, and let me enjoy my freedom. Or you want all the benefits of marriage, then be so kind to accept all the responsibilities. No offense meant or taken.

But overall, personally for me it's a very convenient situation. I'm a loner and I don't want to get married again, so a man who wouldn't want to marry is good. Besides, whem you are tired of him, you can always dump him on the grounds that "you can't take it anymore, you want a marriage", and who will throw stones at you? Just kidding :)

Answer 4

nope...he's used goods

Answer 5

If he were willing to pay for everything and the s*x was good...well, then quite a few I would imagine.

Answer 6

you have a very good chance of finding somebody that would settle for that. a lot of women don't want to be married either for personal or other reasons. your not alone, you will definitely be able to find somebody

Answer 7

i never want to get married,there are plenty of other ways to show commitment

Answer 8

No.  And here are my reasons

1) He's way too old for me

2) I would prefer a long term relationship that could end up in marriage.  that fact that he's so secure means it never will.  I would also never live with him.

However:

3) I would have no problem befriending such a person and encouraging him to find someone who respects that he doesn't want to get married

Answer 9

I have also been married twice and thought a long term relationship would be ok but with my last boyfriend I still found myself thinking about marriage and the future. I'm sure there are woman who would be ok with a long term dating realtionship, but I have found it's not for me. Of course every person is different and so is every relationship so never say never. ;o)

Answer 10

Yes, I would date someone that didn't want to get married.  I've been marry once and I think that if there is love and respect that's all it matters in a relationship.   Commitment should not only be based on a legal piece of paper.  

Answer 11

Personally no, but some of my friends would. They believe marriage causes you to act differently. And sometimes, it does. So, they actually prefer to date long term instead of marrying.

Answer 12

There are a lot of women out there who, would like that type of arrangement.  But I wouldn't.  I couldn't live in sin that way. And you would only be, each others boy friend or girl friend.  When people "say oh! would your wife like coffee or what ever" you'd say she's not my wife.  After a while it would bother the person.  Just my personal feelings.  

Answer 13

My EX will date you. She too is looking for a relationship with someone but does not want to get married again. Sooooo  there are people out there who feel the same as you. Just harder to find.

Answer 14

I firmly believe that if you have a good enough relationship that marriage would not matter.  Living together would be enough!

Answer 15

No I would not.I am middle aged also and marriage is important to me.I was divorced at 42 after 25 years of marriage.I dated for a few years before I met my new husband.We have been married for 1 1/2 years now.I didn't want to just date someone or live with someone the rest of my life.I wanted more than that.I wanted a real commitment.

Answer 16

Not me but other women may enjoy it. What would be the point of living together . Isn't that like common law marriage?

Answer 17

Personally, I would not date a guy who would never want to get married with me. Two divorces sounds like a lot, but still not an excuse not to get married.

My husband and I dated 4 years before we got married and the scariest thing for me was this. I was afraid that if, haven forbids, he would get into a car accident, nobody will call me to notify me that he is in a hospital right now. And even if somebody did, would I be allowed there?

Edit: Tusia, you're right on track. Either/or.... I love it.

Answer 18

It depends on the woman. If they want to get married then they probably wont because they know they'll end up hurt in the end, but if they don't want to get married either then sure!
