when is the right time to propose to your girlfriend?

Question

how long should you be dating a girl before proposing to her? and how do you know if the time is right or how you can bring up the subject?

we have been together for 8 months on the 21st of October and I really love her and I have told her that i love her and care about her, i want to propose to her but i don't know if she is ready, she said in a letter that she wrote me that there was something she wanted to tell me but she said that she couldn't tell me yet... I am curious if she is thinking the same thing i am thinking. mind that we are both 19... is that too young?

Answer 1

it's not too young, but no matter how much time u know each other, but u shud feel at ease with her, n when u tell her that u luv her, u shud really really mean it. if u luv her n that u'v told her, u shud ask her what she feels 4 u? n if she wants some time, then give her, but keep regularly asking her. normally, boys r most able 2 x-press themselves than girls.if she luves u then she'll tell u, be patient, but u patience will not b in vain.the best time 2 propose is when u r alone 2gether, in a peaseful place n where no one can disturb u. be brave n most of all, GUD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

i know some people who have dated for 2 weeks / got married in 6 weeks still married.
others that have dated 6 mos, married 6 mos. later, divorced.
there is no set time. you will know if the time is right.
as far as how you can bring up the subject, well just do it the old fashion way -------------ask her will you marry me. oh it would be nice if you set the mood. nice meal , low light, dancing, maybe wine or pepsi will do.

19 is not to young to propose. and you do know you can be engaged for up to a year before people start asking are you ever going to get married. ha ha

Answer 3

You can plan to propose or not - depends on you.

There's no set time after you've started going out - if you feel strongly about your feelings towards her - tell her or she might never know. I wouldn't go about springing the big question on the second date though - give yourself some time to get to know each other fully. Sometimes your feelings change.

Make the time romantic - then you'll have the right atmosphere to ask her. Good luck!

Answer 4

When you KNOW that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. My husband and I were engaged at 9 months of dating but we knew 3-4 months into our relationship that we wanted to marry each other. Ive met people who were engaged weeks or months into their relationship and married by 6 months.

Answer 5

Answer 6

When you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. It doesnt matter how long you have been with your girlfriend, Ask her how she feels about marriage, and if she wants kids, that will tell you.

Answer 7
