I agree, it's early in the relationship but if the feelings are there for you or you're even considering it, then you should have a sit down and discuss it. Don't assume anything.

My fear of marriage is because of government red tape, not commitment. LOL
you never know until you ask

It depends on whether you're set on getting married. If you won't be happy without that legal commitment, then in my opinion, you should take his words at face value and look elsewhere. It sounds like he's decided that marriage is not for him after some rocky life experiences, and he's not a kid,so chances are he's had a lot of time to think about this.

I've had mixed feelings--not sure I have the time to date one person after another in search of "The One"--starting up, he says "no marriage", I believe him and move on; etc etc etc.

I had an experience a few years back dating someone I was intensely attracted to, but who was pleasantly clear that he will not marry again. At the time, wasn't what I wanted, and we've become great friends, not with benefits.

That was then and I think I have a different perspective now. Were that situation to come up again, I might just do what boccabum says men are accused of: date the man, enjoy his companionship and hopefully later be accused of just using him for sex.
