If you like it then you should put a ring on it or whatever Rihanna said. If you're a Christian and you love the woman then you should want to marry her. I understand it's more fun to be single but marriage has it's advantages too. If you don't intend to marry her then be honest with her about that and don't string her along. If she's expecting marriage and you are not then there's a problem.

I don't really understand the point you're trying to make. If you're down the road far enough for a woman to want you to propose and you want nothing to do with it, you didn't communicate what you both wanted properly, and you need to cut her loose.
Men who drag women along for years dangling the proposal carrot are scumbags.

If you have no plans to marry, don't waste their time.
Date for several months. If you think there is a potential, then give it a set timeframe to make a decision. At the end of the timeframe decide if its the one, you need a little more time, or abort.
Don't keep her in your life if you have no plans for a future with her.
I worked with one guy who strung along a woman for years. She loved him dearly. The dad finally cornered him and asked WTF? He said he sees no benefit in marriage. Imagine if your daughter was dating a guy like that and you are doing everything to pull the wool from her eyes but she stays hopeful, while her BF has that mindset?

I get it. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you are honest with her about it. Just tell her you have no intention of getting married anytime soon and if she wants to be with you this is all she gets. She will either accept it or move on. If she keeps bringing it up just say "we've already discussed this and I haven't changed my mind."
Eta: I'm currently in this situation. My gf wants to get married but I have told her up front that I'm not marrying her until we have lived together first. And I'm not living with her until her 20 yo son moves out. It's that simple. Now she's more focused on helping her son find his path. I think he's going to go military pretty soon. She doesn't push me for marriage. It's all about communication.

I had it happen to me in my mid 20s. It was a gal I was childhood friends with. Didn't see her for 10 years. Talked to her at a wedding and things took off. It moved really quick, she was a lil freak who always put out. 3 or 4 months in she started talking about marriage. I told her it'd be a 1 or 2 years at least before I was ready. I wanted a stable career established, a house, etc. A week after this discussion she tells me no sex until marriage because she was feeling guilty about living in sin or some shite. Whatever, that lasted about a week. She then started constantly pressuring me to drop out of school and be a plant operator or pipe fitter so we could get married sooner. After a month or two of that she told me if we weren't engaged in 6 months she was moving on. I broke up with her on the spot. She was married to some poor fricker 3 months later and now she is fat. I dodged a hell of a bullet.

It used to annoy me, but then I married her and it stopped.

Dating women in their early/mid 20's is a blast. but dating women approaching 30 feels like I'm interviewing for a job I don't want If they view you as a catch they just won't take no for an answer. I find the "who hurt you" shaming tactics hilarious because they all spew the same gaslighting nonsense. Equally hilarious is the way they try to sell themselves as some sort of prize.
I completely disagree and I would encourage any woman not to waste her reproductive years on a man who won’t commit. That assumes she wants kids. Don’t give ultimatums and don’t apply pressure. The way to handle it is make clear the man understands you date to marry. Let him know what you are going to do and follow through.

You're just a narcissist

If you’re not interested in getting married, be upfront with them. A lot of people approaching 30 are probably dating to get married. That way you don’t waste anyone’s time.
I have no problem with a man wanting to marry or not marry. I have no problem with a woman wanting to get married or not get married. I agree with you here. Be upfront and ultimately that’s all you can do. Nobody owes anyone anything.

Don’t get pressured into it.
Do it on your own time.
If you are gonna cave to he pushing for it, marriage is only gonna get worse.

Had one like that. Wouldn't have been annoying except she was saying it only because it was what I wanted to hear.

My GF asked me Sunday about getting her an engagement ring soon and followed up with "...don't you want to mark your territory?" Apparently "I did dat last night." was not the response she was looking for.

I thought it was just a typo on the thread you started but you actually do not know how to spell husband do you?

When my wife really wanted a ring, things got pretty great for me, if you know what I mean. She was trying to make her case and she made it 
Of course I was sold a bunch of lies in that regard, relatively, as things died back down to normal after, but those 6-12 months were electric.

That's why you don't marry them
Nobody warned you about The Ole Bait & Switch?
