Dear Lost soul:

Be careful then, keep your hopes low, be guarded and try to observe and listen to what he says in an objective way, best you can, asking him questions intended to understand better who he is, what he wants, what he values. If he shows up, make it a learning experience for you.

Don’t let unchecked hopes magnify certain words he says on one hand, and  on the other mute some other words, that is, listen to everything he says, not just to what feeds your hopes to get married (I understand that although your parents don’t pressure you to get married, you feel such pressure yourself?)
