Oh my God, My girlfriend saw Fiesta Bowl with me, when Ian Johnson proposed to his girl after scoring the game winning touchdown. What am I supposed to do. We have been dating for 2 years. She just melted when she saw that. Ladies, any advice. How can I get off the hook for a while.

Thanks so much for your feedback, wow so contrasting views from guys and gals. Yes, we've been together for 2 years. I'm 27, I still feel I've got a few more years to make that commitment. Maybe I'll do something nice to keep her happy for the moment.

Redwall, thanks. You're right, it's not all that bad since she watches football with me (sometimes), she never used to before she met me. I've got her interested a bit into football.

First - don't ask yourself "can I live with her the rest of my life?"
Instead ask - "can I live without her for the rest of my life?"
If the answer is 'no' -- then Dude, get on with it before she gets away.
If the answer is 'yes, I can live without her" -- then buy yourself alot more time.

as a girl who also has wedding bells in the brain i'll tell you this... a lot of girls who would melt at the sight of someone else getting engaged and would expect you to propose probably isn't really interested in getting married. i know that sounds weird but bear with me. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, which is something that i don't think couples take into consideration these days which is why divorce rates are so high. If a girl will get that excited about a simple proposal i think what she wants is a wedding. She wants the excitement of the engagement and the fun of planning and having a wedding. she may not be ready for the commitment part and if you aren't ready, she's not ready because marriage is about the happiness of both partners. Just relax when your ready she'll thank you for waiting.

Is your name Ian Johnson? If not, I think you're safe, ;-)
It really doesn't matter what's up with her because marriage is a mutual decision. She's hearing wedding bells and you're hearing the rattle of the screendoor after you're in the poorhouse for getting married before you were ready which means that it shouldn't happen right now because you two aren't on the same page. If you think you should talk about it, then tell her so. If you want to let it go for a few weeks and see if she forgets about it, that would probably work too. Look at it like this: If she really loves you, she'll wait until you're ready. If she breaks up with you over it, did you really want to spend your life with someone selfish like that anyway?

Dating for 2 years has to mean something. You have to make the decision, are you dating just to continue to date, or do you have an idea that she will be your future Mrs.? If so, then give her a hint or two, and that will calm her down. Obviously the hints have happened at some point or she would not be so excited, ya know? Make the decision. Bottom line, women love that kind of stuff, they really do. When you are ready to make that commitment, do it with more pizazz and she will be completely overjoyed. Happy New Year!!

oh oh i got it, lie like angelina and brad are doing and tell her that you really wanna marry here, but you think it's unfair that gay people can't get married so your making a stance by not marrying her til gays are allowed to tie the knot. that'll buy you at least a few years to find a better excuse.

I agree ... marry her! If she's still with you after 2 years and is actually watching football, life can't be all bad.

You do absolutely nothing. If you're not ready to be married, you're not ready. Who wants to be married to someone who felt pressured? It's a nice, warm & fuzzy thought, but if you don't want to be married yet, then don't worry.

holy crap!!! ok heres what you do...sell eveything you own, fake your own death and move to Thailand. You can get a job selling USA, A-OK t shirts on the streets. Youll end up marrying one of those Thai lady-boys but at least you did it on your own terms!!!!
good luck man!!!

I don't know how old you are, but...if you want to marry her, ask her. If not, or just not yet, be honest with her and tell her you just aren't ready yet. She can take it from there.
