What do u do when ur bf proposes to u and ur not ready to get married but u love him?

Answer 1

tell him exactly what you just asked. good luck

Answer 2

Tell him that you love him and want to marry him at some point, but that you aren't ready yet. Let him know that you will let him know when you are ready. I am sure that if he loves you, he will understand and won't want you to marry him when you aren't ready to, otherwise you could end up resenting him and yourself, which wouldn't help either of you or the relationship. No one can put a time frame on when they will be ready for marriage. Only you will know when you are ready for such a huge step. Talkk honestly with him and I bet he will understand.

Answer 3

Don't except the ring until you let him know how you feel! It wouldn't be fair to him. But do keep in mind that many people are engaged for YEARS before they actually get married. Just because you get engaged, doesn't mean you have to run down the aisle next week. It's just a sort of comfort for you as a couple to know you are both headed in the same direction - some day.

Answer 4

Tell him what you just told us. You aren't ready but you still love him. Ask him to give you some time or if you are comfortable with it, accept the proposal but don't set a wedding date. My friend was engaged for about two years and then she set the wedding date.

Answer 5

Tell him just that: you love him and want to stay with him but you just aren't ready for marriage. Unless you've been togther for an exceptionally long time, there's no need to rush into marriage. After all, it is just a piece of paper. What about maybe getting each other promise rings or something like that to show your love for each other.

Answer 6

You tell him you're not ready to get married yet. Don't accept the ring because then you are promising to be with him forever. If you can't whole-heartedly make that commitment, then don't do it. Too many marriages end in divorce. You're a smart girl to know you're not ready.

Answer 7

You tell him "not ready right now" very gently & delicately. It will hurt his pride a little, but if he loves you, he's going to give you the time you need. Maybe next time you should propose, since this is hinging upon you, and when you will be ready. ;)

Answer 8

Be upfront and mature, TELL him you are not ready to be married. He will probably pressure you to find out when you are ready. ALWAYS be honest. Tell him you don't know, you are to young for example. If he truly loves you, he will stay with you. If he goes away, you made the right decision. Nuff said already.

Answer 9

Tara S.
hmmm interesting- i hope to god u are not my sister, but if tara is your first name and your last name starts with sv-----, you're 25 and you live in columbus oh then you most definitely are. If he has proposed to you then I say run like hell- he's not the right one. If i have the wrong person, i apologize - just follow your heart- if it says your're not ready, then your're not- simple as that.

Answer 10

That's tough. I think you tell him you're not ready and stick by it. Timing is such an important component in love.

It may sound trite to you now, but if he loves you, he'll wait. Maybe not forever, but he'll wait. Meantime, you can figure out the reason why you're not ready.

Answer 11

Let him know what you just told all of us. There is never a reason to rush into marriage and if he loves you, he'll be patient and wait until you're ready.
