How long have you been dating? Too many people these days decide to tie the knot to fastly. I think that people should live together for at least 3 years before they make the decision to become engaged and be engaged for another 2 years before saying there vows. This way they have been through a few ups and downs and know everything there is possible to know about the other person.

I would date AT LEAST a year. This might sound silly, but you want to make sure that you both have what it takes to stay in a relationship through the bikini days of summer, the Thanksgiving days of Fall, the gift giving days of Christmas, and the Spring Break days of Spring! When you decide that he's a "guy for all season" then you know you might have something there. I would also put a LIMIT on the dating. Don't get engaged within a year of dating, but don't "date" more than 30 months (2 and a half years). If a guy loves you and wants to be with you for the rest of his life, it shouldn't take him 3, 4, or more years for him to figure that out.

Ok for one, its good you wish to get married. But its now just about you here. Its about your bf as well. I mean, just because you are at the point in your life where you wish to be married does not mean that your man is. You can date someone for years and they still wouldn't want to be married. So you have to talk with your boyfriend about the fact if he wishes to get married. And none of that talking around the issue type of discussion. Be direct with him and say that you feel you are ready to get married. If he isn't then you have to be able to accept that answer and decide what you wish to do from there, either stay with the guy or move onto someone else that shares your aspiration. Just don't force the current guy to do as you wish, because he would be miserable as well as you would over time. Anything forced never works out for the best.

slow down and breath, don't you dare trap that man you make us good girls look bad. It could take years. Love is like a tree plant the seed then let the roots take hold then dive into marriage.
