What does long term relationship mean? I thought it meant just that, may or may not include marriage. Or is it just code for marriage?

Marriage is different to me.

I think LTR means that you are in a committed relationship. Does not have to mean possible marriage, but it would indicate that you are no longer interested in playing the field. I am still a bit on the fence about marriage, but I am leaning towards wanting a guy who would at least entertain the notion of marriage at some point. In the meantime, I would be happy to find a guy who is LTR material...if one exists. :0

Thanks that's what it means to me too. I had a guy accuse me of playing games. Because I said in my profile I wanted LTR. Then when he asked, I said I most likely would never want to get married, then he accused me of playing games, being dishonest. I didn't think I was, I want a LTR, not marriage, as I put in my profile. But I thought mabye it was some kind of online dating code word I wasn't aware of.
