My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years, and we're in our late 20s. When our friends ask him about us getting married, he just smiles. What does this mean?

Not actually. He just would not want the others to know it first before you.

It's a tough guess. Maybe it's just a way of saying ill think about it. It could be a symbolic of saying don't go into this subject. He could even be trying to get you worried lol!

The only way to know is to ask him! Otherwise, it's pure conjecture (i.e., educated guesswork) if you ask someone else. I would suggest that you simply ask him what his thoughts are about marriage, but wait until you're alone and no one else is around because marriage, as you already know, is a serious life-time committment that you should NEVER take lightly! Incidentally, I'm in my late-20's as well, so I hope this helps to answer your question and my invitation is in the mail when you get married, right? :0)

He finds the very thought of being married to you amusing.

He's probably a little embarrassed at them asking such a personal question, and his natural reaction is to smile and not react. I know that's how I feel if my partner's relatives ask us something similar (marriage, babies, moving in together whatever..)- I have my own thoughts on the issue that I don't think are anyone elses business so I generally avoid the question politely. This is probably his way of doing that. He may well not have made up his mind yet- maybe he doesn't want to and is hoping you'll not push the issue, maybe he does, just not yet- either way, the only way to know what his thoughts are is to ask. Don't try to second guess him.

It means he has a good thing going and marriage is not in his future. the first few years, into a new marriage, are mainly lust. it takes time to really fall in love with someone. if your boyfriend keeps smiling, its a sure sign that your relationship is just physical. want to test your relationship? cut off all physcial activity for 2-3 weeks and see if this wipes the smile off his face. you will discover just how serious he is and if you two have a future together.

The smile suggests two possibilities: 1)He's nervous. He may or may not be interested in marrying you. 2) He is happy about the prospect of marrying you, but he still hasn't made any concrete plans. If you feel that the clock is ticking and you want him to marry you, toss out some hints. Talk about other friends who have gotten engaged. Next time a friend asks him about your future marriage plans, you could say to him later on, "It was so funny when X asked us about getting married." And then see how he responds.

This means that, for whatever reason, he would rather not discuss it with them.
