My partner and I.. well we plan on getting married. There was no formal proposal or antyhing but it was just a given sort of thing that we are ending up together.
Last night He was talking to his little brother who is overseas whom i havent met. He mentioned that "when we get married, he is going to be my best man." the said something a bout "see im saying that as a given, thats how much faith I have in us"
we are madly in love but Im kinda confused as so where this puts us in our relationship. How long do you think there will be between now, and a formal prososal - if there will be at all? Just any sorta opinions lol would be nice. Im just curious is all :)

It's NEVER a given thing until it's a done deal. You should be confused as to where your relationship is. It's simply boyfriend-girlfriend. Talk is cheap. People don't seem to realize that...but it is. Until you have a ring, you aren't engaged. Until the ceremony, you aren't married.

This is the reason you are supposed to be talking about your future together. Your future together depends on whether or not you have the same goals in mind, or children. What is your religion and how will that affect your life together. If you haven't been discussing these things and agree then you aren't ready for a "formal" proposal or a marriage. This is just as much your responsibility as your friends.

It's almost impossible to say, but I guess if he is asking his brother to be Best Man, he must see a wedding in the relatively near future. My partner and I knew we would end up together from the first night we met and it took him 2 years. My best friend and her man had the same feelings for each other and he only just proposed to her on Sat after nearly 6 years! I wouldn't worry too much about it, you know you're gonna be together, that's the important thing. You could ask him when he sees it happening, but be careful not to push the subject as that is why it took my bfs partner so long as she went on about it constantly. He would always say to her "the more you go on about the longer you'll have to wait" which is a little mean, but he just didn't feel that she should be trying to pressure him. Good luck sweety, I hope it happens very soon, us girls don't like to be kept waiting too long!

I'm engaged also....without a formal proposal. It was just assumed we would get engaged...and everything happened so fast. The ring was bought one day when we were out. I think/thought it didn't really matter, but when I hear of a marriage proposal of some sort, I tend to say to him "See, people do propose..." You have to ask yourself if it's really important to youi...will it be something that will annoy you over the coming years? Maybe you should throw hints at him (if you feel its a moment you want to remember), seeing as you can't ask him to ask you to marry him.

Uhm, my husband and I never had a formal proposal and I never got an engagement ring. If you're calling eachother engaged and planning a wedding, that means you are engaged! You don't need a formal proposal. I find it rather silly too anyways.

Don't assume, and don't take it for granted. Above all, don't shack up with him, or he'll NEVER ask then!
