I am fortunate to have parents that started dating in high school, and have been married for 46 years. Watching their relationship has also helped me form my two 'rules' for marriage.

1) I intend to only do it once.
2) Because of #1, it will take a very special woman to get me down the aisle.

Unregistered said it best ... I also use the "Can I grow old with her?" test. I actually use it long before marriage is even a remote possibility. I use it to decide on whether or not I want to just 'exclusively date' someone.

I've always been a romantic at heart, and I have no problem with making the committment. I have no doubt I will do it sometime, but have no desire to 'settle' just so I can say I've been married.

Okaaaaaay, women who like Pretty Woman I have a problem with ANYWAY; the only thing it does is give hope to hoes.
Have to side with Posh on the whole 'Pretty Woman as a romance' thing. I think it gave a whole generation of "hoes" the impression that all they needed to do was find a rich guy and all their problems would be solved.

Never ceases to amaze me how much attention I get just stepping out of my recently acquired XK8 in front of a club where the line of gold-diggers are waiting to get in ... and it's not that expensive, nor am I Richard Gere ...
