My wife and I had dated in college, then post college, for a total of 5 years before I asked. No need to rush into anything, even if she is pushing it. There's plenty of time to spend the rest of your lives together.
The real answer is when you know the time is right ... Don't worry about what you think others think is the "right" time I dated my wife for 2 years, and then had a 1 year engagement before being married. So far so good with our 7 year anniversary on Monday.
I knew my S.O. for 4 years because taking the plunge, and we lived together, off and on, for much of that. I think living together first is a good idea. Other than that, I've got nothing for you.
Dated a bit over a year before deciding to get married. Married when we were 22. Been married for 32 years and counting. Depends on the couple.
Simple. she hot enough to be stuck with while not a bit** driving you crazy on daily basis? They good at hiding it until you give them the max contract then you realize you're stuck with a Tmac why long term contract when you can get playing time for free
It definitely depends on the couple. I wonder why folks expect to find an answer here to questions like this, but I guess we should be flattered that they think it's at least a possibility. My own parents met in high school. My Dad was a senior, and Mom was a sophomore at the time. Dad saw her across the room at a party and told his best friend, "That's the girl I'm going to marry." Yes, it sounds like a scene in a movie, but it's a true story. They never lived together, dating until Pearl Harbor, became engaged right away after the attack, and married 3 months later, just before Dad enlisted in the Navy. Their marriage lasted until he passed away 42 years later. So time is relative. Some people know at "hello."
