Do you think you should call it quits if your significant other doesn't propose after you have been dating for a while? How long would you wait for a proposal before you move on? Does it depend on the person?

I guess what I am really getting at is how long does it take you to realize the relationship isn't going any further than boyfriend/girlfriend and if you are wanting it to go further, how long before you call it quits when you realize it isn't going any further than boyfriend/girlfriend?

I would move on if someone hadn't proposed by 2 years. If they can't decide if they want to be with me, the marriage would be doomed anyway. You don't know anything more about a person after 3 or 5 years than you did at 2.

man that depends on the situation! It really doesnt matter how long you've been with the person but how long have you LIVED with the person! You can be with a person and not live with them for 2 years then move in and come realize that you cant LIVE with the person after just 6 months! I hope you understand my point. Good luck!

It honestly depends on the person.
Only a sociopath would put a set number of dates to a marriage timeline. It would be like showing up and your date saying something to effect of, “You have exactly 45 minutes to make me fall in love with you or the date is over.”
It’s just sick, I tell you.

when i am dating a person, the last thing on my mind is marriage.. .
it takes a while to get to know someone, and believe me, it's WAY over a year in most cases...
personally, i'm in no rush to get married. i am content and happy with the person i am.
perhaps someday i will meet someone i want to marry. i can't give a "time limit" for them to ask me... putting pressure on another person to ask for marriage isn't right...and it's a good way to run them off.
let things happen naturally...

No, no, no and no. Marriage is a piece of paper which only truly binds people legally, making it a mess to get out of if anything does go wrong.

Long enough to know lots about them, warts and all.
