Listen to what he is telling you - he is not inclined to get married right now or settle down in a commited relationship with one person. He may have asked you to get married for the wrong reasons. Many people dont realize that their partner proposes or accepts a proposal for reasons like fear of being alone, or rationalizing that this is the person for them.
