What is the average time before someone?

Question

usually proposes to their partner? Do you think 2 years(living together the whole time) is too short?

How long did it take your other half? Thanks

Answer 1

i did after a year and a half.

Answer 2

It depends! If you feel that you are both compatible no need to become matured enough. But if you love her and not so compatible you need to take time to knowing each other. Dont take a long time to engaged if nothings changes. Its wasting time.

Answer 3

its fine for just 2 days sometimes and 20 years alos not enough some times!!!

it all depends on how u know each other!!

Answer 4

That is about right, as long as you and she are financially stable.  If not, put off the wedding date for a year, and save your money.  By the way, I hope that both of you are over 21, under 21 marriages have barely andy chance of surviving.

Answer 5

Everyone is different but i'd say 2 years would be good(living together).  Dont rush into though, its a big commitment so make sure its right......

Answer 6

you've been dating for 2 years, and living together for that whole time?  

i think about 4 years is a good amount of time.  i don't recommend living together for that entire time.  i lived with my husband for a little over a year before we got married (dated for 4 years).  

that being said, do what you want.  only you know what your relationship is like.

Answer 7

NEVER

Answer 8

4 months of dating the first time and 6 months of dating the second time. we ended up living together. it was me that asked her the 1st time and the second time a chick asked me.

Answer 9

what will you do, if when you propose she says ,sorry i'm not that committed, i'm only along for the ride. see some people don't like to be tied down after living together, they see things that they wouldn't like to live with permanently, this is the nature of modern living

Answer 10

I think it's just down to the couple. Some people wait 10-12 years, some people get married after months and some people never do. The point is you're thinking about it, so it sounds as if you're about ready. Question is: is your partner? Only one way to find out...

Answer 11

I don't think 2 years is too short if you've seen your partner's real character.  When something bad happens, does he/she step up or leave you to deal with it?  How is s/he with money?  Is s/he dependable?  Are they thoughtful even when it's not birthday, holiday, etc?  If things go wrong, does he/she blame you?  Does he/she give you the benefit of the doubt or just assume you're wrong?  Are your goals the same?  And do your friends like him/her?  

You can always find someone to love you--what's important is to find someone who loves you the way you need to be loved.  

After about 18 months my now-husband came and *told* me we were getting married--I gave him points for bravery!  

Answer 12

depend on indivisuals and situations.

Answer 13

2 years is a good amount of time. My husband and I were together 6 years before the proposal and another 2 years engaged!

Answer 14

I think 2 years is fine, especially if you have lived together.
