Some people have said that you should not wait more than 2 years for your boyfriend to propose---what do you think?

For knowing a person thoroughly it is suggested to wait for a reasonable time.
Having known fully and having seen his behaviour and reactions to various situations and people, one determines the 'consistency in behaviour' which is very important.
If you can achieve this in a lesser time, you do not need to wait for two years. Alternatively if you do not know him sufficiently well even after 2 years, then waiting for more time is automatically recommended.

Everyone is different. I think 2 years is too short. I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years, and I think its still too soon. I know thats a long time, but I am still finding out new things about him. I hear it takes 7 years to really know a person.... I would take your time. Dont leave him because he hasnt proposed yet. Stay with him, if as long as you are happy. Why throw something away bc of that. It will happen. You just gotta understand that he might not be ready yet, or he is and he will do it very soon. Take your time honey. Good luck.

Don't pressure him to get married. If for some reason, he is not ready, it is a good sign not to proceed. In my experience early 20's is too young to get married. I was married at 23, and am now going through divorce. I think our age at the time of getting married was a large contributor to the break up. Studies show the divorce rate of those 21 at the time of marriage is twice as high as those who are 25 when they get married. Don't think of it in terms of how long you have been together. That does not matter. Think of it in terms of how mature you are. You probably don't want to hear this, but you are still growing up at your age. People change a great deal between 20-35. The important thing to realize is that when both of you change, and you certainly will, you may not be so happy with each other as you are now. It is a sad reality. Wait until you are at least 25, if not 30. Get your education finished, and get started in a career. By that time you will have a very solid idea of the person that you are and that he is. If you still love each other then, go for it. Rushing into marriage is a recipe for divorce. If you are happy together, great, enjoy the ride, but don't get married too soon, live a little before you commit. Good Luck!

TALK TO HIM, AND TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL, THAT'S THE BEST WAY, AND ALSO THE HONEST WAY.
