[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, in movie chick flick terms, what he said was "You complete me."

Does that make it make more sense?[/quote]

Okay, guy PP here.  I have more time for a longer answer.

"It's the right thing to do."
For a guy who is happy and satisfied with the status quo, they can easily just keep the same relationship, dating/live-in/whatever.  But, most guys know that if you are planning to spend the rest of your life with someone, then the right thing to do is to marry them.  Make that commitment.  He's saying you're the right person and he realizes that means the right thing to do is marry you rather than live in sin.

"All of the puzzle pieces fit together."
Guys like when things work together.  While love and a good personal relationship are important, they are not everything.  Being able to communicate comfortably, co-habitate comfortably, enjoy spending time together, handle each others' quirks, live with the others' work commitment/pasttime/friends/family are also very important.  Each of these is a puzzle piece.  Some guys are happy when 80% of the puzzle works.  But when *ALL* of the puzzle pieces fit together, it's really a good sign.  This means that you've ticked off all of the boxes that he feels makes for a perfect partner for him.  Guys don't mention when they've "settled" for some or most of the puzzle pieces.   If he is willing to say all the pieces fit together that's a really good sign.

And don't overanalyze or overtalk this.  For the woman who suggested that you be frank and say his comment was puzzling and talking to him about being more demonstrative, etc.  If you really want this relationship and marriage, then don't open that conversation unless you already talk to him about your feelings, ask him for more openness, ask him to explain what he means.  That type of questioning comes off as needing, demanding and nagging and turns off most guys who really don't want to talk about their relationships, their emotions and have to analyze and explain things.  If you do that, you will find that some of those puzzle pieces that looked like they fit are actually the wrong pieces and you may no longer be the complete fit for him.  Just my 2 cents.[/quote]
