When I (34F) started dating my BF (49M) I was very direct and upfront about my expectation to be engaged in a year because I want to get married and have children. He was previously married, no kids, and said that he understood and respected my stance, that he wants kids too, etc. My fertility is fine, but I’m ready for my forever. We’re almost at the 14 month mark and I’m not going to nag or remind him of this, because I don’t believe in ultimatums, but if we arent engaged by June 30, we are done. After an amazing work trip, I’m actually considering moving to a place in the south (I’m in the north currently) where I think I might meet more men who are ready for marriage. Am I being too extreme? I would love insight from some wiser ladies.

I also dated an older man in my younger 30s. Same expectations were laid out. Through some intense pressure testing almost 2 years into it, I learned he had zero intention of marriage or kids. I should’ve dipped earlier. There’s time for you to meet someone, but I wouldn’t invest any more of your time with this guy.
Yes, go. If he wanted to, he would.
No I think it’s good you have expectations for this relationship
If you decide to end it, I wouldn’t suggest moving to Nashville. The pool is way more noncommittal.
Get outtttt
