[quote=Anonymous]I married relatively early by DC standards and agree that expressing a wish to settle down is a really bad idea.  It makes many men feel trapped.  I wouldn't discuss settling down/marriage for at least a year.

Also, if you are standoffish and get snappy, that could be a big red flag.  Everyone gets a bit snappier once you have kids so I've always tried to be good-natured and tolerant, and to pick guys who are the same.  If I were a guy I would avoid women who have a short fuse because life is long and will throw you plenty of curveballs, you need someone who will be reasonably kind to you when it does.

Best of luck, OP.  You sound terrific.  Also, I would try to look for someone of your same religion.  I married someone of a different faith and most of our quarrels have been about religion (especially when it comes to the kids!)  I would marry him again in a heartbeat but it can cause a lot of stress over things that you wouldn't think matter to you that much before you add kids into the equation.[/quote]
