I remember in that one episode of “Sex and the City” when Charlotte refers to a man as having his “light on.” It was her way of saying he was eagerly ready to get married. Almost in a way a taxi turns its light on when it’s ready for customers, a man turns his light on when he’s ready for marriage. And some would argue that if you meet a man before his light is on, it simply won’t work. You won’t be the one to turn it on. You can search all over that damn taxi and you won’t find the switch for that light. It’s either on, or it isn’t. I guess as an optimist I like to think that people turn their light on specifically for the right person, and wouldn’t just let their soul mate slip away all because they “weren’t ready.” Regardless of which side of that issue you fall on, I do think that it is very clear when a man’s light is on. Regardless of who turned it on. When I was single and dating around, it was very clear to me which men hoped to be married within two years and which ones…didn’t. Here are signs your date wants to get married ASAP.
All of his friends are married
It’s not just that all of his friends are married, but also that he is talking about it incessantly. He’s talking about all of the weddings he’s been to, how gorgeous they were, how cute the little dog that acted as the ring bearer was, and how heart-touching the vows were. That’s a lot of wedding talk for a straight man who isn’t a wedding planner.
