When should I ask her to marry me?

Question

Me and my girl have been together for 6 months...how long should I wait before I pop the question

Answer 1

there is not a time limit you know

if you love her then what are you waiting for then?

just do it

Answer 2

you should probably live together for at least a couple of months before you get married. Even a couple of years together. With marriage, you plan to stay together for the rest of your lives so why rush? You've got the rest of your lives to be married so why not enjoy the early stages of your relationship.

Answer 3

Not before you already know what the answer will be.

There's not a time horizon.  As long as you love each other and are both committed to make the marriage work, grow together and support one another, it doesn't matter how long you've been together.

Answer 4

This varies for each couple. It depends on how serious the relationship is. If you are ready then ask her....but very few relationships survive when someone proposes and the other person turns them down. Keep that in mind and just ask her when you are ready and you think that she would be.

Answer 5

another 6 months

Answer 6

well i dont think that is very much but you shouldnt be asking that question here honey. yahoo answers is not your love life is it.? it should be when you think the time is right. so do you think the time is right? hmmmm are you that into and cud you see her like you and her together in the future together no matter what happens.? cuz i wud hate to hear about a divorce! ppl these days marry like if it is a peice of junk and it means nothing. this world is so unbelievble. are you ready to marry and take that responsibilty of being a husband?

Answer 7

There is no right time at all because its not about that, its about knowing that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone and that you choose to be partners with the exclusion of all others.

When you feel ready will be the time to ask her but personally I think 6 months is not enough time to know somebody well enough to make that decision.

You are still in the immediate passions of love and they call it the honeymoon period, if you want to get engaged I guess you will anyway, but if you are asking peoples advice on here then I think you will find that some people will tell you to wait.

Be happy whatever you decide to do, if you are meant to be together she will not leave you and putting a ring on her finger will not make her stay either.
