How long should you know a person befor you get engaged? Do you think 3wks is to early?

Answer 1

Usually three weeks is way too early, unless that is how long you want your marriage to last. And that is coming from someone who met her husband on a Friday, and told friends that she was going to marry him the following Sunday!! He felt the same way about me, but we still waited 6 months to get engaged, and a full two years to marry. We just "knew", but decided that there was no need to rush. We have been together 5 years now, and happier than ever. If you two are meant to be together, you don't have to force it, it will happen!

Answer 2

I think 3 weeks is way too early, I also think 3 months is too early. I wouldn't get engaged to anyone I knew for less than a year, and if I was younger, it would be alot longer than that.

People are always lamenting on why the divorce rate is so so high--it's because people get engaged to people they don't even know.

Answer 3

My wife and I were married 8 weeks after we met. I asked her to marry me after we knew each other about a week. That was 16 years ago, and I am still happily married to the worlds most beautiful woman.

So, 3 weeks can be more that long enough. However, if you have questions like this; it is a sign that you may want to wait a little longer. When you feel that everything is right, that is the correct time and person.

Good luck, I wish you the best.

Answer 4

Oh God yes.................You don't really know this person. You need to at least know him for between 6 to 12 months. Then think about engagement. Take you time. What you have now is a real serious sexual attraction. Wait till things cool down and if you still feel attracted to him and you like his ways and personality, then you can think about a very serious committment and engagement. Good Luck

Answer 5

Yes, 3 weeks is really early. You should be dating a minimum of a year before getting engaged.

If at 3 weeks, you find yourself completely in love with this person, just wait and date for now. If you really want to be with this person forever, what's the rush.

Answer 6

Hmmmmmm.... marriage is a life long commitment and you guys want to be sure you aren't basing a bulk of the relationship on feelings and emotions.

Normally it takes about 1 - 2 months to sort all this stuff out then again I have heard of couples who instinctly knew they were soul mates from the time they met one another and got married it took 1 month; it depends on each couple..only those in the relationship can really say if they think it's too soon or they should wait.

Good luck, if and when you decide to get married ....congratulations!!!

Hope things work out for you guys

Answer 7

Yes 3 weeks is way too early, I think you should at least know the person for a year, and preferably 2 years before getting engaged.

Answer 8

babygirl, ima tell you like like this.... only you and him know when the time is right. yaw are the only ones that can tell you if 3wks is to early. i do think that if you gotta ask about it than what would be the harm in waiting two or three more wks or until you are sure and don't have to ask... you should just follow your heart and your intuition. a women cant go wrong with that.

Answer 9

Way too early! It takes at least six months for the "infatuation stage" to wear off and you start to notice flaws in the person. Give it at least two years before getting engaged.

Answer 10

My parents were engaged at the end of their first date (and it was a blind date! they had never met or seen eachother before) The next time she saw him, 2 weeks later, she was walking down the aisle. They just celebrated 43 years.

So no, I dont think 3 weeks is too early.
