You better get out now

I mean ... As long as communication and intent are clear in both directions, being willing to get married isn't a red flag. My now wife wanted to get married a long time before I did and made that clear. We are now happily married with a child and both happy with that development because she made sure I knew what she wanted and I only disagreed with the timeline.

If this post is true, I'd say it's a good thing, at least without any context. Now the poster knows that

if they do plan to propose, they don't need to worry (which should be a prerequisite to any marriage proposal)
if they don't plan to or hadn't even considered proposal, they can start thinking about that
if they don't want to get married at all, they can start discussing that with their girlfriend (and yes, get out of the relationship if their life goals aren't compatible)

It’s not about the girl being a red flag. It’s about the timing being screwed up, permanently and unfixably, and all the emotional tension that’s going to result.

Nah. If you love each other a proposal doesn't matter in comparison. Healthy love is bigger than that. A proposal can be a big moment, but not as big as actually having a solid relationship. You can fix it. And if you do, one day you might be telling that story at the wedding and laughing about it.
