What do you think about my current dating situation?

I first matched with this girl online in late November 2025 and we’ve been dating about once every week. We enjoy kissing deeply every date, and she introduced me to her mom in fifth date. I don’t want to mess up this relationship for pushing marriage too early, so how should I progress this relationship?

Obviously, pushing for marriage after seeing each other grand total of 5 times is pure insanity.

The question is, why would you even think of something as crazy as that? Simply considering marriage at this stage is way too early.

If you ask me, a good way to progress this relationship would be to abandon any thoughts of marriage, keep dating, go beyond kissing, perhaps meet each other more often than once a week, get to know each other.

Personally, I’d be incredibly stressed out if a woman I only went on 5 dates with and haven’t even had sex with introduced me to her relatives. That would actually be a red flag to me. I hope you really feel fine with that.

Are you from a culture where marriage is generally discussed this early on? I'm wondering why this is part of your thought process so soon

It’s because we’re pretty religious and I know someone who decided to get married within first three dates and then got married after three months.

Well that's just insane.  It's not normal to rush into marriage like that when you barely know someone, so this example isn't something to compare your situation to.

You have been casually dating this woman for two months.  You barely know her.  You should not be thinking about marriage at this point.  Circle back to the idea if you are still dating her after a year.
