We were dating for 9 months and he asked me to marry him. Were are getting married this summer and we are both in no hurry. If it doesnt happen because of money or time, then we will wait. We know that we love eachother and that is all that matters and all that is important. If you want to get married to this man then that means that you have a very strong relationship with him right? Well then sit down with him and talk to him about it. It shouldnt be hard. It also helps to live with him first. Me and my fiancee have been living together for almost a year now and its great. Just sit down and talk about it, get it all out on the table and u need to be honest, maybe hes not ready for it. Good luck! =)

my fiancee and I were together almost 4 and a half year before he asked me to marry him. We had never discussed it, but obviously he was thinking about and just needed some time to work up the guts to do it. Good luck. Just remember its nice to be married however don't get caught up worring abou the wedding think more about what happens after. We are happy being engaged and even though our family keep asking us when the big day is we tell them on a 10th year together as we are happy and committed with being with each other the rest of our lives and no piece of paper or day is going to change it.

I think the longer you date and wait the better your chances of staying together. A year is ridiculous! You know at that point if you shouldn't be with someone but not to get married. We waited three years and have been together for 11 years now. I know people who rushed and are already divorced. Hopefully your guy is just waiting for the right moment and not just spinning his wheels and wasting your time. Discuss it and see where he stands on the issue. At this point an engagement doesn't have to be a huge surprise so talk about it. Best wishes!!!!!

4 months. Of course there are people placing bets on how long the marriage will last - people who call themselves our friends. But I don't care. We knew we were going to get married the second WEEK we dated. We just knew. He proposed on Christmas Eve and we are getting married in September. No one can say how long is right for you. If it's been 4 years and you are ready for the next step, tell him. It's not fair for him to keep you waiting - but if you don't tell him it's time to "put up or shut up" then he'll never marry you. Why wait until he decides he never wants to get married - then you've wasted 4+ years of your life and life is SHORT. Good luck.

I was dating my boyfriend for 7 months before he asked me. We will be engaged for 12 & 1/2 months before we get married.
I have a friend that has been waiting for about five years for her boyfriend to ask her to get married. She really loves him, but she has set a time limit on him. I think that you need to sit down and talk to him about what your intentions are so that both of you can get a feel for where you want to be headed. After that, it should be pretty clear if you are wasting your time or not.

I had been with mine for about 5 1/2 years before he proposed, so don't worry, a friend of mine has been with her man since 98 and they got engaged last summer, he couple is different, it just takes some guys longer, don't worry if he is the one he will ask,
have you tried to talk to him and see what the plans are for the future, school, good job, house before he asks

Four and a half years...but we are young. We will be married this June, and by that time we'll have been together for six years. I'm 24 and he'll be 26 by that time.
Have you talked about it at all? It's time to sit down and talk to him. See what his plans are for the future, and if you're a part of it. If, after four years together, you can't sit down and talk about the future maybe marriage isn't your best option after all. But if you're still young (like me) then maybe he's not "there" yet. Give him a little more time. (Still have that talk, though...)

I've been with my man for 4 years in March. We just had a baby together but we are not married. We have talked about it but are waiting for what I don't know.
