No. I would not, end of story. I'm not impulsive (except when shopping
) and I'm in no hurry to get married. Likely I'll meet someone eventually...but I honestly cannot at this point in my life conceive of a person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I guess I like commitment...until it's permanent. That doesn't appeal to me.
When I was younger I talked engagement with two boyfriends. One was a trainwreck, and I knew even when we were discussing it I would never actually say yes. As for the other, I said I was just too young to be worrying about that and we could talk about it after I got my degree...and I'm glad I went that route because it saved a lot of mess when he cheated and got dumped. Every "real" relationship I've been in has either exploded, imploded, or just fizzled and got boring around a year and a half...so for me I won't even bother to consider it until I've reached that point with a guy and am still reasonably happy.
Of course, it seems even less appealing to me right now because I'm enjoying being totally dating/talking/boyfriend/anything free for the first time in 8 years. I'm fickle. But no matter what I would never, ever rush into it. I've not picked good guys for the most part, but even the good ones hid deal-breaker issues until around the time we broke up. So one thing I've learned from my dating record is that you really don't know a person until you've been together with them long enough to see patterns as CG put it...and I'm not a trusting or particularly forgiving person, so I'd rather wait it out and see those patterns before I lock myself in and have to choose between leaving or overlooking things I really am not ok with. (Because I'll choose leaving).
