I'd have to see the girl say it to understand the subtext of it. It could mean the girl is calling you a "nice guy," or she's expressing interest in you. Would you give us the circumstance that she said it in, and what her body language was as she was saying it?

Well, how did they say it though? They could just see you as a "dedicated" nice guy that they're not attracted to.

If a girl sat on your lap, twirled with her hair, giggled, and said "you would make a good husband," it's pretty obvious that she wants you.

If the girl just sat at the table across from you and said that, just nodding her head, not really doing any flirtacious gestures, she's probably not interested in you that way.

Sometimes though, girls leave really subtle hints. The girls you are dealing with may not really be confident in their ability to flirt, so it's possible that they are interested in you even if they didn't do any obvious flirting. Do you like any of the girls who said that you would make a good husband?

Notice they didn't say " You will make a real good boyfriend"?

They are basically saying that some woman is going to pull the wool on you and you will do whatever it takes to make her happy. If you are the kind of guy that can be a pushover consider that a warning.

Jerks or players are never get called "you would make a good husband" but that doesn't mean the girls don't stop hooking up with them or try to change them.

That's a pretty good point. SayWord? I'm assuming that the girls respect your diligence in school, but they probably don't see you as a potential romantic partner. This is just me talking out of experience, though. I wouldn't overanalyze this phrase since it doesn't really show interest nor disinterest. It sounds too much like a variation of the dreaded "you're a nice guy, but..." phrase

From New Orleans, Louisiana to Atlanta, Georgia!!!
The translation! You're a nice guy and I want to use you as my personal servant while I drink a 20 oz. bottle of my boyfriend's c*m.

Notice that she didn't say you'd make a good boyfriend (W0manese: Stop stalling and ask me out jackass!/ I wanna get to know you better!) or will you marry me? (W0manese: You're hot! I want to be taken by YOU! NOW!)

Thanks for playing the game!

You're not the type of guy I'd date, you're the type of guy I'd marry!

You're sexually a dud. You're not fun to be with. But you are... 'nice'.

A friend of mine responded to this line with, "And you're not the type of girl I'd marry, but you would be the type for a one night stand!

Just say "thanks, and I think you'd make a good wife".

Women never finish their sentences.

"You would make a good husband." was going to be followed by "but I am going get every hole I have filled, before i settle down." Or "but you aren't acting like a man so I'll save you till I am through experimenting."

Point is when a girl says crap like that, you aren't totally in the friend zone. Just take it instride and start acting like a man would act. An afc would get excited about it, or take it as an insult. You should take it as a compliment and a sign that there is atleast a little interest.

If you like her you should go for her(romantically/sexually), regardless of wether she thinks you would make a great "husband."
