 Of course you are beautiful, and he knows it. But once I was in a relationship that lasted almost 20 yrs. And as i got older I would ask and to him, I always looked the way I did when we first fell in love. This guy was kind of unusual, but he said he talked to other guys and most guys have this picture of you in their head, and that is what they see, is the person they fell in love with. Hope this helps.

 My Lovely, there is no wrong or right answer here. You will feel it in your heart. You must go with your given intuition. He may want to marry you now as the first thing he sees is beauty. But beauty is from within. You will remain beautiful in your later years because that is what you are. I have known some very beautiful people, but the inner person, shows so ugly. I am beautiful because my heart is pure, not because of the colour of my eyes or the smoothness of my skin. I have lines round my eyes, and creases in my forehead, but everyone was put there from the frowning of caring and the laughter and smiles of love. And my partner does not see them. The decision you make today, will be based on the information you have at hand. Try not to see if it is a good decision or not, but what it is that makes you happy.

 People always say you need to know someone a really long time before you get married. But sometimes people just know right from the beginning that it’s the real thing. Why are you concerned about what will happen if your beauty fades in the years to come? You are selling this guy short by saying that he is only attracted to your looks and would be too shallow to see other qualities in you to admire. Maybe you need to get over yourself and work on being a loving and giving person to this guy.

 Yes.should marry him,if and only if you love him to.What's wrong in being beautiful,it's a blessing,and if it could help in bringing cheers to your life,then simply use it.And as far as,ur fear of loosing your beauty is concerned,by the time you get old,make him so drowned in your love that he cannot think of any other,but you.Trust your love.Good bye,take care

 If you love him truely then you should go ahead and don't let the unnecesary fears preoccupy your mind. Just communicate with him about this matter.I'm sure through proper communication you both might understand eachother more properly. And my dear it's very true that every person has esthatic needs and every one wants his/her spouse to be good looking, but it's a secondery need the main thing is 'inner beauty' and it lasts forgood. So don't worry everthing will be very good. Wish you a very happy life.

 Marrige is supposed to be real. And by the way your telling us it seems like this guy is just using you for your looks. Get to know him more before you marry him. Like at least for a year you know what I mean? Then if he changes you can go for it. If he doesnt then you wont regret that you waited. If you wait you dont loose anything but if you dont wait you might loose a guy, well maybe if you wait and he contiues you might loose a guy too so its 50 50. You dont know what he will do so maybe when you start to get pores and everything you will loose him. So I say wait its a big thing I know but its your life so I cant choose things for you sorry if this wasnt what you wanted to hear but you do what you think is right. I mean you know the guy not us you just discribed him to us. Then again you said you THINK he likes you for your looks you dont know for sure. Ask him! He might lie but us girls know when guys lie so just look out for signs like: Smiling, rubbing the back of his neck or any weird things he is doing. Then if that happens maybe its time to let go. If things turn out right then let us know. Congradulations!!

 Oh dear friend you should not marry him. A love means it should touch the heart and love .those who are loving for beauty is not good. If he saw any other beautiful girls he may love them .so marry only the person who loves you with his heart

 Often, when our heart confuses us, we should trust our gut feeling. You say that:

"I Believe The Main Reason Why He Loves Me Is Because I Am Beautiful. "

Do you have trust issues to work out with this fella?
I
You also say:

" I Am Worried, If I Get Old Or My Face Gets Disfigured He Would Not Love Me."

May you also have self-esteem issues with yourself?

Sort these out before you accept an engagement. You'll be happier in the long run. If he's right for you, marriage can wait.

 You're asking for opinions. That means it's not a debate. In my opinion, 5 months isn't nearly enough time to decide whether or not you are prepared to commit to a lifetime relationship. That's what marriage is supposed to be. No one can tell you what you should do. They don't know you or the guy

 If you believe he loves you, it sounds like there is a whole lot of communication that needs to take place. Don't believe...KNOW! And it worries me that you think he loves you because you're beautiful. It's unclear as to whether he thinks and has told you you're beautiful or maybe you are just vain and think he thinks your beautiful because you do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you, I just am not clear on the statement. If it were real love, meant to be, this question would not even be a concern. Forget about becoming disfigured and falling out of love, would he be willing to clean your spittle, change your diaper or bathe you if you suffer a major stroke or vice versa? Those are the important questions.

 Who told you that you were beautiful, or did you come to this opinion all by yourself? All people are beautiful, some on the inside and some on the outside. Maybe he loves you because you are beautiful on the inside, thats why I love my spouse. You should ask him. Do you just love him because he is handsome or because he is a nice guy and beautiful on the inside. LOOKS, has nothing to do with a relationship. Love is what a relation ship is all about and without LOVE, no relationship will last. If you don't think he loves you for who you are, then move on.

 I would not want to be with a man that loves me or that is interested in me only because of the way I look. That is artificial and I would always wonder what he thinks about the next beautiful girl that walks by. And you're right, the fact that you would worry about your inevitable aging and how he would feel about it would probably age you quicker. I don't think he is the right one for you if this is a concern. I want to marry someone that appreciates each unique thing that makes up who I am, someone who adores ME, not my physical or my money.

 You already have cautions that have been raised within your heart. You are foolish to ignore them. You wouldn't feel aprehensive about his shallowness, if you have not already seen and heard him act shallow. As Mia told Oprah, "When someone shows you who he is, believe him." Your man has shown you that he is shallow, and you need to believe him. But dag gummit you don't want to believe the truth, you want to believe a dream. And that is the pit that millions of unhappy people fall into. Especially women. We want the dream to be true so badly that we ignore the reality right in front of us.

Marriage is only good if it is real. If it is some kind of reality denying dream of rainbowsand gumdrops, then it falls apart pretty quickly much sooner than wrinkles and extra pounds.

 Loving someone based solely on there beauty is kinda shallow.a true relationship should be based with similar interest,similar goals and a genuine likeness and acceptance of each other.true looks fade and if that's whats holding it together there could be trouble.of course i think you should give yourself credit ,true.. Men tend to value good looks,but if that's all he was intending you for most likely your relationship would have ended by now.so I'm sure hes into other qualities and attributes that you possess your just not aware of them.all women have the fear that you have,that there relationships aren't based on the right things ,i don't think you should worry but i would wait awhile longer before tying the not,so you both know where things are headed,hopefully in the right direction

 Five months may be enough time for you to have feelings for someone, but don't fool yourself into thinking that that means love...Especially the kind of love that can last a lifetime...and again, especially if you have to wonder if his love is returned for the right reasons.

If you don't know him well enough to have to question his love...Why he shows feelings for you...If their genuine...If their for superficial reasons...Just remember, the kind of beauty your saying he loves you for is skin deep and one day that will change...When that does, will he stay...

If he wants to encourage you to jump into a lifetime commitment, I would hold off until you have everything you need to make sure this will last a lifetime...If you have to question why there's any feeling, then you better wait...It may not be a bad idea to hold off with your relationship...Find out what life is like around other friends who have relationship with people already together in relationships, maybe find your own. Perhaps you'll find one where you'll know and understand what it's like to have someone who truly care about you for what you are and not for your looks.

 This is not a real love. Real love is too different from this. If anyone loves you then he should love your everything, but according to this situation that person does not loves you. Don't mind please he may be loves your attractive figure , beautiful face, and i am dam sure that most f the time he tries to make physical relation with you. This type of persons are not a lifetime partner . So in my opinion should not.....

 I would wait if your love is meant to be then it would be better to wait try not to rush things enjoy just being together i think t means more if you wait because you would have been together lets say for about 4 or 5 years and yet your still going strong 5 months is not long enough to know that person completely and you cant fully love someone unless you know all of there characteristics etc what happens if you marry him and then you find out that he does something that you really disagree with and he wont change?

 When you have truly found the one you will be with for the rest of your life, there's a feeling you should get when you're around each other...it feels like your having a nervous system breakdown...if this is the feeling you get then he's the one for you...but he has to have it for you....you don't sound very sure at all...you have your doubts...you gotta talk

 What's wrong with the guy loving you because you're beautiful? Nothing. The deeper issues are:

1. Are you secure with your self-image?

2. Is your body and looks the only things your man talks about?

3. Can you both have fun and communicate without having sex?

If I had to make a final assessment of your situation, I would tell you I am against you marrying this guy right now, because it seems like you maybe just need some more time to get to know more sides of his personality. Also, you need to get over that mental hump in your own mind that he will be there for you - even as you grow old.

Lastly, know that your heart and mind can only handle so much, so, make sure of who you choose, and take some extra time to make the right decision. When you feel sure about who you love, you won't have to ask anymore - You'll just know.

 If you feel he only loves you because you are beautiful you know he is all about looks. Only marry him if you feel he would love you tomorrow if you had a horrible accident the week before the wedding that left you slightly disabled and he married you anyway!!! You will not be happy wondering if he looking at her or her. Put him to the test.....

 If you are sure he wants you for your looks then NO you should not if he really loves you he will wait till you are ready. Be sure its the right reason before you do it or it will really hurt you in the long run

 I don't know, should you marry him??? If you have to ask anyone other than yourself then you obviously aren't ready to be married. And if he truely loves you then he would love you no matter what happens to you!

 Being in love is not enough to marry someone. Do you want to spend the rest of your life with someone who will be judgmental or cruel when wrinkles start to show?

 Wow, sounds like you need to grow up before you get married. I know you think that your beauty is what attracts him but, that doesn't say much for your self esteem if you would even think that your beauty is all you have to offer to keep him. Not to mention the fact that you would even consider marriage to someone that you feel is so superficial. Grow Up and revisit this one later. Good Luck

 Why marry someone who loves your outside? Try to find someone who loves you for who you are. I'm not gay, but my brother is. I don't care about who's gay and who's not. Find someone who actually loves you. You can date him if you want to, but that's your choice. No one else can decide that for you. My opinion is that you should try finding someone who will care about you from the inside out. My girlfriend is someone who could hurt me with a slap, but I still love her. That's because she a very understanding and caring person. I love her for who she really is. Why shouldn't you find the same? Do what your heart feels. Soar with the eagles if you want. Do what you feel is right.

 The romantic in me says yes marry him, but the realist says, why the rush. If it is love then waiting wont matter. Only you can know how you really feel, but it will take longer than 5 months to get to know the person you are with. Not the one that everybody sees but the one that you share your darkest secrets with . Stay together even get engaged, but give it at least a year.

 You stated you have been with him for 5 months and deeply in love. That is a very short time in my opinion to get jump into marraige, if you both are very much in Love, let in blossom, grow into a realtionship of being friends, soul mates, Waiting for this very special time in youre life is well worth it.
Ont just jump into it. Marriage is not a piece of cake ( i dont want to discourage you ) but what is the rush. Please think it through and if its the true love of youre life, he will wait. Also why are you saying that youre looks count so much" Love youreself for you. Dont worry so much about getting married , Love doesnt matter all about youre looks and you just should take a step back.
Dont rush. Let it flow into a more meaningful relatonship.

 I know about this kind of situation. I was with a guy 3 months and was madly in love with him. We moved in together, then he knew i wasnt going anywhere and after a month he was mr hyde. I am not saying not to marry him, i am saying move in together, maybe even get engaged, but dont take the leap yet.
