Changed mind about marriage? I want to, now..?

[Cheryl Ann]

I'm a 39 year old confirmed bachlorette. I was engaged once when younger, but never wanted to get married after that, despite being in other long term relationships. I was afraid of being trapped with Mr. Wrong. Here's the deal. I entered into a wonderful relationship 5 months ago. For the first time in 20 years, I'm really in love and feel this could actually have a future. I dreamed we got married, and I didn't wake up in a cold sweat. He is in love with me as well, and tells me so often.

The problem is, around 2 months in, I gave him my usual spiel about how I am not into marriage and will never ever want to get married. I said it was not my thing. He said, what about after 2 years? "Nope." 5? "Nope."

How do I tell him I've changed my mind? I feel like he could very well be The One. I wouldn't want to get engaged until we had dated at least a year, but how do I let him know (without scaring him) that I've changed my feelings about marriage? Not sure if he's even into it, lol.
