Yes, it's a rule. I would not date anyone more than two years without a ring on my finger if, like the poster, my intention was to get married.

If that's not your intention, then it clearly doesn't apply.

If you're young, then I think that the rule still applies. It's important to date other people so you can be sure that "he or she IS THE ONE". If that means taking a break from your boyfriend or girlfriend, then I feel that's a good move.

How can you know if that person is truly right for you when you have little or no basis of comparison?

When I interview job candidates-- the first person may be THE ONE.. but I interview others just to be sure. I feel the same applies to a potential marriage partner.
