How long were you together before he asked? ?

Question

High school sweethearts.. any success stories.. how long were you together before he asked you to marry him? are you still together?

Were going on year 6.. still waiting!

Answer 1

We were together for 6 years. However, he did ask once before and I said no because I felt we were too young.

Answer 2

well its been 7 and 1/2 years and we are still not even engaged, i think it means more to me than him. he says, we are great the way things are, so why mess with that. we own a home together, 2 cars and all of our belongings. But i guess i am looking for a little security.

Answer 3

Congratulations! Make sure it's true love and not just that you feel comfortbal with him. Also depends on your income, your education, all that hes probly looking at, and so should you. But GOODLUCK!

Answer 4

he proposed on our 1 year anniversary!

Answer 5

There he goes again with his milk and cow nonsense.  I absolutely hate when you say that Happy, you can't possibly be that antiquated.  My grandfather is more forward thinking than you.

Answer 6

It took him 6 years to get the nerve up to ask me out on a date. I wasn't going to wait until he asked me to marry him, I ask him to marry me. That was after 3 years of being together. Our first year anniversary is coming up this week.

Answer 7

I met my love when I was 17 and him 19. We are on our 7th year and have a 16 month old boy... We are waiting to be in a better home situation and be financially stable to afford an extravagant wedding

Answer 8

We were not highschool sweethearts, but we dated for two yrs before he asked me.  

Answer 9

HI, I have been with my husband since 15 years old. We dated for 4 years and were engaged for 2. I got married at 21, had my first baby and 22, 2nd one at 25 and my third one at 36. 22 years I have been married. I am not real happy with the relationship but am more comfortable then anything and am not sure if I can give up my needs for comfort anymore! Good Luck

Answer 10

We were together 4 months before  he asked but did not get married until a year after that because he was in the military and got deployed.  We have been together 8 wonderful years and he is my high school sweetheart.

Answer 11

We dated 3 months before he gave me a ring. He gave it to me on Valentine's Day. We are still together. We got married 19 months later and have been happily married for almost 8 years now.

My story is rather odd.

We got engaged on Valentine's Day or so I thought.

Years later into our marriage he admitted that the ring he gave me on Valentines Day was NOT an engagement ring. I just assumed it was and he did not say anything about it at the time. I was hurt when he first told me this but I love him so we got past it.

We went to the same school for 12 years and never knew each other.

Funny how things work out.

Good luck to you!

Answer 12

dated for 2 & half years straight, then for four years on and off (mostly off), he always said "lets get marrried" but never really gave me nothing (what a sucker lol), so no success :]

Six years, pretty long already, give him a little more time. Not because you are married means he loves you, i know an older couple (in their 40's from work) who dated and lived together for 11 years and they recently got married less than 2 months ago so you never know.

If not ask him about marriage see what his thoughts are on it, then you will see if he wants to get married or not!

GOOD LUCK!  

Answer 13

I dated my husband for 3 1/2 years before he asked me to marry him, and we've been married now for 9 months now.  

Answer 14

Four months. We then got married on our first anniversary of being together. When you meet the one, you just know it!

Wow! Your guy sounds like my ex-- wanting to date an eternity and more before getting married. Yuck. Well, I was afraid of having to date for six years so as much as I loved him and as much as it hurt, I had to look out for myself and leave him by the third year. Now I am with a much better guy!

Answer 15

i met my husband when i was 19 and he was 21, we dated for about 6 months and then moved in together bc it was the smartest thing to do financially. we lived together for 2 years and i decided if we werent getting married (no talk of marriage, ect) i should move on. i told him when the lease was up, i was moving on and two weeks later he proposed. we were engaged for a little over 2 years to save up for the wedding.

Answer 16

I was 16 when we met.  My high school sweetheart asked after 6 yrs.  We were married for 5 yrs.  We're divorced.  

Answer 17

me and the ex was a yr maybe that's why we are ex's

Answer 18

I never asked. We're still together.

Answer 19

I ASK HIM I WAS 16 N HE WAS 15,,WE BOTH JUST WENT OUR SEPERATE WAYS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL,HE HAD 2BOYS BUY SOME GIRL,HE NEVER MARRIED,,AND I HAD 2GIRLS N A SON BY SOMEONE I NEVER REALLY LOVED(I WAS ALLWAYS THINKING ABOUT MY HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART,,THEN,,10YEARS GO BY,WE HOOK UP GET MARRIED,,AND NOW WE R MARRIED 35YEARS,,,PRICELESS,,,PEACE

Answer 20

My girlfriend and her husband met in high school.. after dating about 1 month... he told her that he wanted to marry her, but to please wait 10 years so they could both have jobs & continue schooling.  He promised her that if she never asked him 'when', he would ask her to marry him.  They were 16.  ON their 9th anniversary (dating) - he proposed.  They were college educated, had jobs, saved money...  They were able to pay for their own gorgeous wedding and buy a house shortly after.  They are now married 11 years & have 3 beautiful boys.  

My point.. do not nag him, but do have a calm nice discussion about expectations.  I am sure he will be honest with you.

Good luck!

Answer 21

Im still waiting on year 5, hasnt asked yet either, but doesnt bother me at all because we know we love eachother and we're not really financially stable yet. what matters is that we're together, not just because some paper says we're together.

We talk about marriage, but we both know were not even going to think about that because we want to get our careers going first.

Answer 22

If you've been together for 6 years, and he hasn't asked you yet, don't count on ever being asked.  After 3 or 4 years, men get fully into the "why buy the cow when you're getting the milk for free" mode.  You are selling yourself short if you stay with this boy.

Answer 23

We went together for 6 years before we got married.  We have been married for 23 years now.  

Answer 24

I was 18 and he was 22 when we met.  We got engaged when I was 23, and married when I was 24.  I'm glad we waited that long.  We both finished college, got good jobs, moved in together, then he asked.  

Answer 25

We were together about 4 years before he asked. It was worth the wait, even though it felt like forever!! :) We have been married 5 years this past July with two toddlers! Itll happen when its time. Good Luck! :)

Answer 26

we had been dating 8 months when he asked. we've now been together 2 years and expecting a baby.

Answer 27

2 years

Answer 28

I didn't sit around like a fool waiting for him to ask me. We were together for just over a year when I expressed to him a desire to marry him and he expressed the same desire to marry me. (I know that is quick, but we were living together for about a year at that time, he moved in with me soon into our relationship and the wedding was two years after the decision to marry.)

Our wedding was not the result of a traditional proposal, but rather the result of a mutual agreement and understanding. Neither of us feel that a woman hiding her feelings or not taking initiative, simply because that is the traditional subordinate place of women, is good or in any way reasonable.

If you're thinking something, it is reasonable, regardless of gender, to communicate with your partner. Waiting on a man, to protect tradition or his so called manliness, is silly when you're happiness and relationship is at risk. A relationship is unsteady when one partner thinks and feels something as important as a desire to marry without communicating with the other. Basically, have some respect for yourself, your partner and your relationship and ask the guy yourself!

Yes, we are still together. No, we were not high school sweet hearts. We met at a bar when I was 20 and he was 22.
