My boyfriend just proposed to me!!!?

Question

My boyfriend whom I've been seeing for 5 years, after we had dinner restaurant, pulled a box out of his pocket, inside of the box was a diamond ring. He knelt down on knee and said to me, "Joanna, I have you loved you and only you, the whole five years we've been going out. You're the only girl I've ever truly cared about, and I can't live without you. I know you hate where you live right now, I've bought a house in PEI for us to live in. Joanna, please make me the happiest man in the world, will you marry me? You don't have to answer right away."

What do I say? Do I say yes or no? I love him so much as well, but it was all so sudden.

Answer 1

Congratulations! I hope the two of you can live in comfort an joy with the decisions that have been made.

Answer 2

Joanna.

Of course you have to marry him you have to say yes the soon as you can before he decide it no to marry you, after 5 years is normal that he want be with you forever.

Congratulations.

Answer 3

I say yes, if you truly love him and feel that he feels the same way about you go for it. five years should be enough time for you to know if you want to spend the rest of your life with him.  

Answer 4

awww!!!!

you didnt answer him?!?

omg! he is probably so confused right now!

well if you want to be married to him forever and love him also then say yes if you are ready.

you need to answer him...

Edit:

Thats exciting!!

so excited for you!!!!

Glad you said yes :) congradulations!!!!

Best wishes!

Answer 5

after 5 years you shouldve expected something along those lines...i dont see why you are surprised cause its "so sudden".

its easy...do you love the guy or not? you should know!

GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

if you love him like he loves you i would say yes  i am engaged right now but my engagement is going to long bc i want us both to go to college  

Answer 7

I would say yes, but only if I truly loved him and was prepared to spend the rest of my life with him.  

Answer 8

If you're asking a bunch of strangers on Yahoo! if you should agree to marrying a guy you've been with for 5 years, then I'd go with no!

If you haven't figured out that you want to be with him forever in 5 years, then you shouldn't be in that relationship.  Leave him and let him be with someone who loves him enough to want to spend the rest of her life with him.

Answer 9

Wow !!! 5 yrs huh? People these days can't stay together 5 months!

SAY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

and move!

Start your family!

Congratulations!

:)

Answer 10

How can you not know whether to say yes or no? Are you very young still? It seems like after 5 years of dating you would know, if you are over, say, 21 years old. I would just be hesitant to encourage a marriage when you aren't sure whether you should say yes or no.

Answer 11

I agree with the other answers.  Five years is a significant time to know whether or not that person is who you want to marry.  You have been together for a while, and it's up to you now to decide if you love him enough to spend the rest of your life with him.  Does he make you happy?  Is he there for you?  Are you there for him?  Can you guys provide for each other?  If so, then I'd say go for it.  No matter what you decide, best of luck to you!

Answer 12

AWWWWWWWW THATS SO CUTE!!

i would say yes, but getting married is a big deal. if you think you're not ready... im sure he wouldnt want you to rush yourself into that kind of thing.

Answer 13

Just say yes!  Unless you have a good reason to say no.  I would think that after 5 years at least one of you should have been thinking about marriage, and obviously he was.  If you love him as much as you say you do then it should be a no-brainer.  Follow your heart!

Answer 14

If you have to ask then you're not sure.  Or maybe you are in shock.  After 5 years, you should know if you want to spend your life with him.  But the same thing happened to me after I dated a guy for 4 years and I thought I was crazy about him.  Until he proposed.  I hedged then finally told him I needed to think.  Four months later, we split.  

A year later I met someone else and we were engaged after only 3 months.  I knew right away.

Answer 15

you dumby! say YES if you love him! You've been with him for so long!

Answer 16

Aren't you just fishing for compliments and someone to share in your joy?

I agree with the other posters who said this is not sudden.  If you don't know, the poor guy deserves someone better.

Answer 17

omg dats great news i think u should say yes

Answer 18

5 years is a long time. If you love him say yes.

Answer 19

CONGRATULATION

Answer 20

say yes say yes!!!!!

5 years doesn't really qualify as sudden, honey. if you love him, do it do it do it do it do it!!!

Answer 21

I'll probably be hated for this answer but...

If you trulylove him say yes! The fact that you hesitated and ddidn'tsay yes right away seems to lean toward you don't care for him perhaps as deeply?

I think if you need to ask maybe you already know the answer and you just don't want to face it?

If it was just the situation and he didnt give you a chance to answer then you need to get in touch and let him know, the poor guys probably having a heart attack!

Good luck with whatever answer you give!

Answer 22

5 years is a long enough time. If you want to say yes then say yes, but if your asking people on YAHOO! ANSWERS chances are you are not so sure yes is the correct answer. Take your time but respect the fact that he will need an answer and remember if saying yes doesnt mean the wedding needs to be in a year. hold off on a wedding date until your truly comfortable with this decision. Let it soak in! Good luck!

Answer 23

wow you hadn't talked about marriage and you have been together for 5 years!  My now fiance and I were together for the same amount of time when we got engaged, but we have been talking about getting married since forever.  

Answer 24

If you love him, than yes!!! He sounds like he adores you! How wonderful!! CONGRATS!!

Answer 25

CONGRATS HUN!!!

I WAS going to say, it's up to you and no one on here can answer that for you but seems you did make the decision so congrats, and good luck on your wedding planning and your future together:D

Answer 26

congratulations.

how old are you guys?

Answer 27

So sudden? It was 5 years.  Ask your heart. Can you see yourself with him for the rest of your life? Do you want the same things out of life?  

Answer 28

i am sorry to say but if your having to ask after all he said  he desearves someone better than yuo. you should have said yes. seems you dont hjave strong feelings like you thought. and a proposal is supposed to come from no were
