How old are you? If he does not bring it up send him hints. He might be picking out a ring now! Good Luck!

No. It's not about how long you've been together. It's about how ready you are, how you both see marriage, what you want and expect out of marriage. A couple who gets engaged after dating 2 years doesn't love each other any more or less than a couple who waits 6, 8, 10, etc.

NO, there's nothing wrong with that. It sounds like your guy is probably NOT READY to propose to you. Has he ever talked about marriage in the last 6 years you been together? if not, then it's better you don't push him & don't mention it. He will propose to you when or if he's "good & ready". It really depends on the guy your with too. Is he dedicated to your relationship? does he ever think about the future with you in it?
Well, my husband is very much head over heels, madly IN LOVE WITH ME as I am with him, especially when we first met. Before we got married, he talked about marriage a lot, even had names picked out for our kids (so sweet). He continuously told me I am his world, his life, his EVERYTHING & that he wanted to grow old with me. His every day goal was to make me happy. After a year & a half of being together, he got down on 1 knee with a diamond ring & asked me to marry him! We got married & had our honeymoon in Hawaii. It was the best thing ever! My husband is so loving, so great & he makes me sooo very HAPPY every day :)
You just know when the time is right & by the way he acts & every thing that he does for you. All guys are different in their own way. Sounds like yours might be commitment phobia. I say don't push him. If you love him enough & if he loves you the same way, then you should WAIT until he brings it up. Don't complain. Be happy that your at least together for now.
GOOD LUCK!

Do either of you want to get married? Has it been discussed? If so, I would think that six years is too long. I am not one for rushing into things, but I would think that after six years someone should know what they wanted.

I'd say so.
While not a speadfast rule, statistically the divorce rate for people who are not engaged in the first year are higher than those who wait longer. The longer you wait before marriage, the higher percentage for divorce.
You know yourself best though. If you think it has been too long, it probably has been. Don't trick yourself in these matters.

Nah you'll know when your ready I was dating for 5 years high school sweethearts and still feel we were not quite ready but did it and everything worked out! I think I let parents push us when I probably should have waited until I was financially set!

no..who says you have to get married anyway? lots of people won't get engaged or married but they'll stay together. i know someone who has been with her boyfriend for 12 years...and they still don't feel a pressure to get married.
just do what you feel is right.

Yeah that's a bit too long, I think two three years tops is the longest anyone should wait.

My ex , one of them , said 5 was enough. We got married and 6 mo later split up. People always try to fix stuff that ain't broke.

Sweet Pea, I think so. I mean you should know everything about a person by then. Is he not ready? Then you both may want to talk about this so you both have a good understanding.
