Yes. Get to know each other better and longer. Everything seem great at first. Wait until the newness wears off. And yo go through a few trials together. Will you or she still be around,and look at her and ask yourself if she was to get in a wreck or get burned bad or forever disabled would you still love her. Really think about it. I am not trying to be negative but a lot of people start out in love and end up in divorce. So please give it some more time.
Ok I don't know if your a he or she. Sorry if your a she. Then just replace the she with he. LOL Good Luck and May God Bless you on whatever you decide.

YES! It's way too early. You've only been dating for five months and marriage is a life-long comittment. You may think you know each other really well, but you still have a lot to learn. In a few months, you may discover something about this guy that you know you will not be able to live with for the rest of your life. Take your time. Make sure he's really the one. Don't pressure him either!! That will just scare him away.

It depends on whether you have discussed it or not, how old you are, and what are his past experiences. There are 2 things that might be going thru his head.
1. She is a really good lover and I don't want to miss out
in which case marriage ain't even on his radar, but playing house is
2. I really love this woman
in which case the idea hasn't entered his mind yet, and he doesn't know it is on your mind
SOLUTION: Find out what he's thinking. Ask him to has a little chat with you when it is convenient. Then quietly tell him how you feel about him and ask how he feels about you.
Be prepared for anything, and DON'T make the mistake of accusing, being offended, or showing any other adverse emotion. All you want is HONESTY.
Good Luck

unless you want to scare the living **** out of the poor fella, yeah, it's probably too soon to be thinking about marriage. if you really feel that strongly about this person already you'll enjoy just dating and being boyfriend and girlfriend, if you start thinking and talking marriage at this point none of your friends and family will take this relationship seriously and they will probably not show you as much support as you would like from them because it would be nauseating to think that as a couple you are so in love after 5 short months that you can commit to the next 60 years together...you have no clue about "real" each others yet.

that all depends on the both of you, i would wait and not think about it, you will jsut stress yourself out. if you are really happy with this person, then be happy being with them, no matter what the status. at least you get to be with them. if it goes years, and you discuss it and he is not on the same page, move on. but give it time, 5 months is not long to some people, no matter how true their love. this person may also want to marry you, but there is something in life that needs to be sone first, ie college, buying a house, car, some career move. who knows. most people want to be as secure as possible before they make that move. it is worth it too, trust me!

It seems to me that the amount of time taken to pop the question is directly proportional to age. The younger the couple, the longer it takes. When they get up there in age, they won't wait long. If you're past your 30s, I want to say he will ask you sooner than later, coz ya know, the clock's tickin. If you're in your 20s, it'll take several years. If you're in your teens, don't even think about it.

Eh, some would say its too early.
Even when a person loves another a lot. Sometimes marriage really a topic to be talking about.
It's actually to get to know one another first, even though you might say you already do. Sometimes its not true.

No time frame.. the fact that you're already dreaming about marriage means you are comfortable with this relationship. If your partner feels the same way then your moment for saying "I do" is not far.
