Question

When someone proposes marriage after a short time dating, say 1-3 months, what does this tell you?

Answer 1

Too early because if you felt the same you wouldn't need to ask

Answer 2

Tells me it's time to leave, because if your being asked to marry someone about 1-3 months then someone is a little immature. Marriage is not something to jump into. You always say yes, but have a really long engagement.

Answer 3

I had a guy  propose to me after just a few days of meeting each other.  I thought he must be desperate.  I left him after the first week.  For standing me up and thinking nothing of it.

Answer 4

I would think:

1. the individual is hasty and immature.  Marriage is a lifetime  committment.  It can be the most wonderful haven, when entered in properly, but if no, you both will be living in h**l. So it takes time to make that decision.

2. Maybe the individual has an hidden agenda. (be after something, he hopes to get via the marriage).

then I would ask him what's the hurry?

Answer 5

It could be a case of severe infatuation, desperation, or feelings of insecurity.

Answer 6

My husband proposed 2 months into our relationship and i said yes straight away because i knew he was the one. We have been together for 2 years and married for four months i love him loads and cant live without him, This tells me that they want to marry you and be happy as husband and wife which is a good feeling if the marriage is happy.

Answer 7

Either imature and or desperate. I would run or at least put the brakes on big time.

Answer 8

that they reeaallyy luv you :D

Answer 9

It tells me he is either immature or he has landed some d**n good p***y.

Answer 10

Tells you they want to get married. It's on the high end of the risk scale. Feel lucky?

Answer 11

To me it says that they're naive, desperate, a player, or abusive (since becoming seriously involved too quickly is actually one of the warning signs of somebody who may become abusive).  Either way it is a turn-off for me.

Answer 12

They are unable to tell the difference between "Infatuation" and "love".

Be cautious.

Answer 13

Well, I'd be very cautious and have a very, very long engagement. With at least 50% of all marriages ending in divorce, you want to make sure this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Besides, if the other person is in such a rush, there may be a reason for it, so really get to know them. I think people get married too fast these days, figuring that if it doesn't work, I'll get a divorce! Take your time, you don't want to be another statistic do you?

Answer 14

They're desperate to get married and haven't thought it through. It takes longer than 3 months to get to know someone.

Answer 15

Desperation.

Answer 16

it would tell me that they are desperate, or immature,and in too much of a hurry.

Answer 17

To me, it means that they are so infatuated that they have not taken the time to really know the other person.  You cannot possibly know someone in that short period of time.  

Answer 18

RUN!

This is too soon in my opinion. After a month of dating I could not have even told you what my husbands mother looked like or if he liked carrots or wanted children. How could you possibly be ready to marry someone after only a few months, what if they have a freezer full of fingers or something creepy, could you be sure after only a month or two.
