I met my BF in kindergarten (actually probably earlier, as his older bro and my older sis are the same age), and became friends in high school. We started seeing each other casually after I graduate college (actually a bit earlier, but since we weren't in the same state any encounters were months apart so I don't count it), and it took over two years for us to become "official" (i.e. even though we were exclusive, if someone asked if he were my BF I would say no). So in other words... not the rushing in type.
His parents saw each other a total of 10 times over 6 months before they got married. Mine got married after 1 year (3 months of which my dad spent no-contact in Antarctica). Both marriages are still very strong.
I sit and watch my friends get married and think "HOW can they be comfortable with this?" Although I'm obsessed with weddings I feel no desire whatsoever to be married... it's weird. Our friends are constantly befuddled by our relationship, but we're comfortable with it and it works for us. Which is my answer, I guess. If it works for you.
