ladies how long are you willing to wait before the guy you want to be with starts to talk about marriage. most women stay with a guy for about 10 years and he wouldn't even mention marriage but they still stay in the relationship.
i am willing to be in a relationship for about 6 months and if he hasn't shown any interest, then i am not willing to waste my time. i think six months is allota time to get to know anyone, so how long would u wait

I would wait about 1 year. If he hasn't popped the question by then, or atleast mentioned marriage and the future, hit the road. He's a commitment-phobe. However, it all depends on the circumstances. If you're in high school, or you're both in different places in your life, then it may be sooner or later. I think it all depends on the situation and how much love there is in the relationship.

Six months is actually a very small amount of time. Consider this: some people are with their boyfriends and girlfriends for years (two, three, maybe more)...everyone thinks they're the perfect couple who'll always be together, and them BAM, they break up. Both will probably tell you that it's because they changed during those years and realized the other person wasn't for them. So don't you think that if you marry someone after only knowing them for six months, after years of marriage, you'll start to regret it?
It's different for every person, but really consider how well you know a person. My own mom thought she was marrying a great, nice, quiet, polite, and patient person, and years into the marriage, he turned out to be a psychotic monster with none of the original qualities she married him for.
I'd say definitely two years minimum of dating the person, and more of actually knowing him (so if you knew him for a year and dated him for two years, something like that).

I would wait as long as he waits. Think about it, maybe he doesn't want to rush. So if I met a guy and I've only known him for 6 months, and I get married after those 6 months, there is a chance that I will divorce him cuz I won't know for sure who he really is. Remember things start out good but then when ur married its a whole other story. U should think about! Its not good to rush into marriage cuz its a long term committment!

As a guy, there's no way I am asking someone to marry within 6 months, I know better that it takes longer than that to be sure about something as serious as marriage. 12 months is a minimum I would need.

I'm not really in a big hurry to get married. I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years. I don't need a legal agreement such as marriage to know that we love each other and are in a committed relationship.

Personally I think that 6 mo.'s you are barely begining to see the real side of a guy! I think they put on an act to get you and once he's in and think he's got you than the real man appears! I say go slow and enjoy the time but 6mo is not long at all!

I was in a relationship for 5 yrs got engaged and but never could come to marry him. Just wasnt right. Knew my husband less then a yr dating and got married. Felt totally right. I use to think you really didnt know someone til you knew them for about 3 yrs. but sometimes its not the length of time but the individual person.
