Question

how long would you be with someone before getting engaged>?

Answer 1

No numerical answer.
As long as it takes to trust them with your most important decisions.

Answer 2

I too am starting to think about this matter. I suppose it depend on how you feel. My dad, for example got engaged after 5 months or so and was married in the same year. He met his now wife about a year before the marriage. My divorce will be finalised this month (I left him in June last year) and have found a solid rock of a partner, who has helped and supported me all the way, so have his family. My family are happy with my new boyfriend, and he has spoken of engagement, which I would like, but have told him I wouldnt marry for at least a year after the engagement date. But worry about how others would portray it.

Thinknabout what you want and when you'd feel comfortable about this move, and do it. I would....I think, lol.

Answer 3

I would say live with someone for a while before getting engaged. you always get to know someone better when you live with them.

As long as you make sure that you are making the right decision it doesn't matter how long.

Answer 4

2/3 years

Answer 5

I don't think you can put a time scale on it. Its different for every relationship.
My partner & I got engaged after 4 months, and have been egaged for 8 years!!!
When you are both commited to each other and you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you'll know the time is right.
Everyone told us "it'll never work" because we were 18 & 19 but were still together with 2 children.

Answer 6

Personally I love my boyfriend very much and we have been together for a little over year yet I don't think that's long enough to make a decision concerning the rest of my life. However, every person is an individual and therefore has the right to decide for themselves based on what they truely believe in their heart. BUT I would say that any sooner than around 8mths is premature. Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Dont rush into it.

Alot of people have trouble remembering what 'engaged' actually is. It is the real deal, you are saying I will never sleep with anyone else again - EVER, I love you with everything and always will. Engagement basically is marriage without the church and paper bit.

Are you ready for that?

Answer 8

i dont think time matters if you feel that it is the person you would like to spend the rest of your life with then get engaged. You will get the feeling that it is right for you. There is no perfect time only a perfect comapion

Answer 9

Are you asking because you love the person and you want the rest of your lives together to start as soon as possible? Or are you asking because you want to eek it out as long as possible before you put on the old ball and chain? I think that when you love someone you will know when the time is right and when you don't love them enough you should tell them and give them the opportinity to find someone that can return as much love as they deserve.

Answer 10

Life

Answer 11

I really don't think you can quantify it in years. I really think you've got to know someone so well before even thinking of making such a huge commitment. Having said that, I don't think anything under a year gives anyone enough time to get to really know someone, as the relationship is probably still at that honeymoon stage everything is rosy!
