He said it was just a comment he made to say all his brothers were now married except him, but it sounded much more like he was lamenting the fact. And it's actually the second time I've noticed him use that turn of phrase.nd it's not like he's old, he's the youngest brother, at 25! So it's not exactly like he's left on the shelf is it.Basically - does this mean that he wants to get married (soon)? I am open to considering the idea, mostly cuz I love him to bits and think it would actually be quite cool to marry him, but only him, cuz he's different from the rest......lol anyway..

daisydaresyou is verified as being by the original poster of the questionLol I know, it's only since I saw him say this stuff that it's got into my head. Like I said, I don't really believe in marriage, and I always thought I wouldn't need to get married, but since he wrote that to his friend, and said some stuff about 'growing old together', it's been kind of bugging me!
Don't worry, I certainly wouldn't be one to bring marriage up. My official position on it is 'not for me, thanks', as he and my friends know, so he would have to broach the subject first before I climb down and admit my hypocritical feelings, which isn't that likely. I'm just pondering the topic I guess.

It's probably playing on his mind a bit, but if he WAS to propose to you, you better make sure its not just because his brother is! This would be a bad idea. Yes, marriage probably crossed his mind, but dont just get your hopes up and assume he wants to be married honey - guys are complicated, just like everyone else, so give him time and space on the marriage front and make sure you dont get your expectations too high, in case you are let down. Hope everything goes well :]
