We have been dating two months--how soon is too soon?

Question

to propose to her? We see each other every day, and she spends most nights with me. Even though it has been only two months, I am crazy in love with her. We are both in our early 30's.

Answer 1

Well, proposing and getting married are two different things. You could propose tomorrow, but you will still be setting the date for some time next year probably. If you know she will respond favorably, propose as soon as you want. Only you know what is right for you and her!

Answer 2

There is no hard and fast rules or calendar of events with relationships. The rules I set for myself are: I wouldn't even think it was serious until we had been exclusive and together for 6 months; I would never marry, or even propose, for at least a year from exclusively dating. There could be all kinds of barriers, skeletons,etc.....you haven't seen yet. You are just infatuated right now. Relish it. It's a nice feeling. But, will it last 20,30, 40 years?? Try some up and down times before you jump the broom.

Answer 3

I would give it a year at least. I've had relationships in excess of 4 years that ended up not working out. You'll know pretty well where you sit after about a year, but every relationship is different. The first few months are always a lot of fun and exciting though...

Answer 4

At 30, I think one year is ideal, but if that's too long at least 6 months. You are both infatuated with each other right now, all good things come in time.

Answer 5

Maybe you two should wait a little while longer first, because proposing to her so early into the relationship could destroy it.

Answer 6

Wait for 2 years total. Trust me, you really don't know this girl enough yet. Skeletons will eventually start coming out of the closet. If you can handle those after two years, you two can probably last through a marriage.

Answer 7

wow! when you feel you have the "balls" to do it:) and i mean that with respect! good luck:)
