My parents met when my mom was 15 and my dad was 17. They dated the whole time my dad was in college (my dad in upstate NY, my mom still in MD) and then got married when he graduated at 22. So he proposed after 4 years of dating. They've been together 32 years now.

I think 2 years is a good minimum to be dating before a proposal. I want to be married by the time I'm 23 or 24, so maybe I should start looking.. :p

I guess since we've been friends for such a long time, it's easier to see ourselves in the future being together. We want to get engaged in the next 6 months!

Maybe that's crazy, but it just feels right :)

Hey stranger! Hope you're doing well! :)

Funny, i'm in a sort of similar situation. I've known my guy for over 2 years, we tried dating for a bit way back at the beginning, it wasn't right, so we stayed friends and recently tried again. Recently being this weekend so i'm not quite as progressed in it as you are but it's still funny that we're in the same sort of thing :)

Let's see...we met in June, were engaged the next January, and married in December.

ASLFRose has dated the same guy since freshman year and she's in grad school now. He'll graduate in May (he's in a 5-year major!) He's just like one of our own now...we hope to hear wedding bells soon!

Thank you! It's a beautiful 1+ carat emerald cut diamond with a platinum band that has six small stones down each side. We had planned to go to dinner at our favorite restaurant and he surprised me with all of our immediate family members! He got down on one knee and asked a very stunned me to be his wife! It's still kind of a big beautiful blur! :D

Congrats!!!

Two months! We are going to get married right away and I am not going to go to law school because I would rather just bear millions of babies and be barefoot in the kitchen making him pie.



















just kidding.

You know, my man proposed after 3 weeks. He put the ring in a pie. Then I realized that a four carat ring was his way of saying he was sorry for having such a tiny little penis.












Also just kidding.

Mine proposed because he said having a wife would help him get a better firm job.

I can tell he really loves me.

valkyrie 12-21-2004 02:35 PM

Mine proposed because he was hopeful that having a lovely wife at home would persuade the judge to give him probation instead of sending him to the pokey. I accepted because all of my sorority sisters were getting married and I'd be an outcast if I didn't have a husband by the time I turned 19.

MsCongeniality3 12-21-2004 02:42 PM

LOL.... you guys are way too much!

JennRN 12-22-2004 02:25 AM

I met my husband when I was 19 and he was 21. He didn't propose to me until I was 24-yes, almost 41/2 years after we started dating. I was getting impatient towards the end ( about to graduate school, he lived in another state, where do I get a job/take boards?), but am glad we waited. When I think about what a dumbass I was at 19, I think there's a great chance we wouldn't have stayed married. We both grew up alot in that time.

We started dating May of 1998 & he proposed November of 2004 so we took our time. We started dating young & he finished college last year & I finish in 2 months.

It all depends on the couple. Some people commit right away, others take their time. There is no right or wrong answer.

Jill1228 03-10-2005 04:20 PM

Mr. 1228 and I corresponded actively for about 2 months. We met face to face on 11/20/97.

I moved out west (from DC) on 8/1/98

We got engaged on 2/20/2000
Got married 12/11/01

Pretty much 4 years time, but there was a kid involved (his) and giving lots of time for the ink to dry on his divorce decree :D

Decided to get married first and then do his immigration stuff.
