Men and women react differently to the question and that is what makes it complicated.
Given a relationship situation, men react differently compared to a woman.
How to attract him?
If you are happy with yourself and are self confident and is comfortable to be with, then you make your self irresistible to any good man.
There are many steps to a marriage
A date becomes an acquaintance then a friendship then on to a more stable relationship. Many a relationship gets broken down and do not end up as a marriage.So do not be in a hurry.
Find things you have in common with a man and build on them and you can create a friendship easily. Give the man his space but show you are interested and the relationship will build on when it is comfortable for both of you.
Casual relationships
Many a time men are willing to enter into a relationsip, knowing clearly well they do not think that a girl is not a "marriage material". While the woman enters with all passion, the man takes it on as a casual relationship.This becomes the cause of half the break in relationships, as there are totally different expectations from both the parties. If he is just interested in a sexual fling, not caring about relationship, be the first to know to avoid hear break.
However many a casual relationship, ends in happy marriages where they are complementary to each other in a good relationship.
Money question
Contrary to what most people think, it is all about money. Many a time money is a major reason for many a decision about marriage or even after marriage.Most woman are simplistic about it thinking relationship is more important. Yes for you it is. But for him, it is not. Even if both of you work and earn, the money makes him change his decisions or even makes him to make a particular decision.
For example, if a man fears he is about to lose his job, then he will not commit to the relationship at all. The last thing he wants to be is to be a parasite on you. Of course there are many parasitical men but they develop it frequently after marriage.
On the other hand a woman might frequently need a man to lean on when on a financial crisis.
Many a woman are let go because they are considered spend thrift, even if they are not.
Building on the relationship
While money is an important part of the relationship, it is not all. The more important part to keep working on the relationship.Many a couple with out a penny in savings, commit to marriage, because they are passionate about the relationship.
So it is more important to have fun together to get married than have money. Thoughtful supportive words nurture a relationship more than any thing else. Keeping the relationship interesting means you need to work on it together where both are involved.
If you show your endearment to him with the right class, he is likely to remember it even after you are not there with him.
Frequently sentimental things make a man take a decision on marriage and building the right relationship creates the right sentiment leading to marriage.
