and how long would you wait before dating?

My wife an i were together for two years before we were married but we got engaged and named a date after a year. No significance to that just that is how it worked out.
there is no hard and fast rule for it, to soon though and you might have the wrong person and not know them too well. I would say definitely move in together first. but then how long should you be together before you move in together???/
questions questions questions

Before you are sure that you make sure that you really love the person you are with, and they really love you back. Would you give that person your kidney if they had a kidney problem, and you couldn't function because of it?
In other words, would you give up your life to save the person you love, or are you just about yourself. If not, then you are no way ready to be married. Don't get married just because you have a baby either.
You might not love each other just because of what you did last night, or a week ago. I understand that you want to be there for the other person, but don't do it. It might just up in a divorce because you don't love each other.

There's no right answer to this one. I was engaged for 10 years, and every day I thank goodness I didn't marry him, as I finally met 'the one' 7 years ago. My grandparents married 2 months after meeting, and spent 60 years totally in love until my grandad died.

From first date to wedding? I'd suggest no less than three months, at the most. But of course, it all depends on how long you've known the person, and how well, and what lingering doubts you might have. Basically, do what feels good. But don't wait till every little concern is resolved, that'll take forever.

A lifetime! Nah, if it feels right, go for it. I married my husband within months of meeting him and it lasted 15 years before I got bored of him yet my mum waited 3 years before she married my dad and was divorced within two years. There are no right or wrong answers to your question.

I have been dating myboyfriend for almost 4 years. After i graduated highschool, which was four months ago, i moved into his apartment ( i am 19, he just turned 21). And now we havent decided to get married yet, we know we want to, but we just don't have the income. So if you feel like your ready, then do it. It's up to you.

You should date the person for atleast 5 years and then marry!

I'd date exclusively for 18 months before accepting a marriage proposal.

Before marrying - Forever.
Before dating - no time at all.
