Ive been living with my boyfriend for the past 3 months and it's been wonderful. He tells me how he wants to marry me and he can't wait until we're hubby and wife one day. Will he ever ask me? Some of my friends think he just plays the marriage card when I'm upset w/ him

How long have you been together? Have you met each others families? Is he financially stable? How old are both of you?

It's a bit early to tell but if he's mentioning marriage this soon its possible your assumption is right.

I'd give it some more time.
Are you both still in school? Is he financially stable? Men think about a lot of things before proposing and one of them is could he support you and a baby if he needed to. So he might be waiting until he has more money.
My best friend and her boyfriend (now fiance) talked about getting married for 1.5 before he actually proposed. They are both secure in their jobs and make good money. His reason? He wanted to buy her an insane engagement ring and it took him a long time to save up to buy the ring he wanted to buy her.
Give it time and don't pressure him.
