I have a boyfriend that I love very much. I let him know before we started dating that I did not want to "shack up" with anyone ever again. I let him know that I was looking for marriage. He has talked about 'when we get married', and makes comments about me having his last name. I don't want to pressure him... However, I don't want to wait forever!!! It is either is or isn't, right? By the way, we've been together for about 3 months. Any advice out there?

Woa baby. Don't rush it. You've barely just met and barely know eachother. 3 months is too soon. Wait. Give it maybe a year at the most then see if he's still interested in taking you to the alter. I hope it works out for ya.

3 months??
give it some time!! You are still in the "honeymoon" phase... let some time pass and let your relationship go through some tough times!
There is a lot more to marriage than that one day in a pretty dress and an open bar!
Give it some time, maybe think about moving in together before u get married. This way you can see if u can manage a budget, among other things.
Good Luck!

I'm 27, and I have learned that I have a three month mark, (which I haven't made it to very often) I get with this guy, think I love him, we talk about marriage and then three months hits, and I wake up and don't like him anymore. My point is, don't rush marriage, too many fail. Make sure its love and not infatuation, the two are VERY hard to decipher. I'm coming up to a three month mark, and have taken things very slowly, so I am being patient (though I don't really want to), and certaintly am not pressuring him. He will propose when hes ready, he knows how you feel.

Oh girl....3 months is nothing. That isn't much time at all no matter what the age. I'd wait longer for sure. At least 6 months or better. Get to know each other first. You don't have to "shack up" at all to get to know one another.

Take it slow marriage is sacred and shouldn't be rush just relax enjoy the ride anything that's has any good in it is worth waiting for. You love him he loves you enjoy his company and when the times right you'll both know and there will be no doubt you two are ready for a life time commitment. GOOD LUCK!!!

3 months?!?
Sheesh... Unless you have some kind of miracle relationship, 3 months is WAY too soon to be talking about getting married. You're not even past the "puppy love fairytale stage" where even his boogers are cute.

being together even for years doesnt guarantee you with a happy marriage unless you live on the same roof. but in your case, since i think you're not into living with him without marriage, 3months is too short a time. why hurry when in the end you discover your incompatibilities.

I met my girlfriend last year, but only dated her for 4 months and I proposed her already.

2 years. If he doesn't propose by then, give him ultimatum.
