how soon is too soon to get engaged?

Answer 1

If you are younger than 18.

Answer 2

You want to be at least 18, because that is the age you can get married in most states. Also as a young woman and engaged myself, make sure you have experienced life a little bit more and make sure you know the guy/girl very well which means you need to know him/her for over a year and try staying with him/her to see if you both are compatible. People act different when they are inside of their home, you will be amazed at their habits you don't see when they are outside of the home. Marriage is a big step and is very sacred make sure it is something you really want to do and get counseling before getting married, alot of people don't think these things out and much more, due to the high divorce rates now. Good luck!

Answer 3

It depends on the person. I would want to KNOW that person for at least a year - 2yrs before getting engaged...why go through getting engaged and then married if you've only known the person a week or a couple of months. That's just pure crazy* You both know Nothing about the other person.

But to each and their own* It works for some ppl and not for others*~

Answer 4

Hey,

It really depends on the people and the situation. Normally I would say anything less than a year is pushing it, but it depends on how well you know the person and how long you have known them. If, say, you have been friends for 5 years and now you are in a relationship with the person and you want to get married, I think the courting term could go less than if you did not know the person at all before.

I think it also depends on your age. People who are older I think can date for a shorter period of time because they are already settled in life and know what they want. People, say in their teens, I think should date for a longer period of time because we are not as settled and our minds frequently change.

My advice though is if you want to get engaged, then do so, but make it a long engagement. This will help you see your partner in a even more serious light and it will give you time to figure out if you really want to be with this person for the rest of your life.

Hope this helps,

Suzanne

Answer 5

i think you can be engaged as soon as you want to be engaged, but actually getting married is WAY different. you shouldn't get married before you are 30...i know that may seem far away, but you can be engaged as long as you like and make sure that you really want to make that next commitment

Answer 6

Is there really a such thing as too soon? No one can rreally answer this question for you...How well do you really know each other and is it love or infactuation? Ask your self those questions!
