Every relationship is going to be different. My husband never said any of those things, and he is very, very much not a stereotypical male. We never really talked about marriage. A little before he popped the question, and I think once after someone else's wedding (after years of us dating), I asked if that would be us one day. We never even really talked about moving in together -- it just happened. ("You're moving half way across the country? I'm miserable where I am and am done with long distance? I'm coming with you" without actually needing to say it... And yet... I consider our communication skills pretty good).

But what other posters have said is definitely true. Communication is key, but follow through on what is being said is also important. I also agree that what he's saying could be him being flirty, or it could be a serious indication of his intentions. Only time and good communication is going to tell. I can understand that being a little bit older might be putting pressure on you, especially if you're thinking about having kids. But still try to let things unfold naturally and not rush or push anything before it's ready to happen.
Thanks for this!
