Quite a range of time there.

Congratulations by the way.

In my personal opinon it falls somewhere between 9-10 months.

I probably should have looked at the op.

LOL it often helps,

out of curiousity why such a wide time frame?

I don't want get married.
Why should I? If you love someone you should be able to just spend your life with them without a government document saying that you are officially in a relationship and that you both own eachother's stuff.

I know what you mean. i've always thought that.
However i now see it as a way of showing just how committed i am to that person. makes it properly official if you know what i mean.

Personally? I don't believe in marriage, not because of the tax breaks, but because if you want to be with someone you should just be with them; you shouldn't have to metaphorically "Chain" them to you in order to get loyalty.

Also, if it just happens to not work out you don't have to go through a divorce.

Personally, I feel that going to a gaming website for relationship advice is like sticking your penis in a blender because you have genital warts.

Right. Here's the deal. I recentley proposed to my girlfriend. We have been going out six months.

Well that was about the time I proposed to my girlfriend and well all I can say mate is make sure you this girl well. after about 2 more months of out I started to find things out things she was doing on DATE WEBSITES (I like to add she never cheated but the things she was doing not right). Started to lie about what she was doing and a hole pile of shit I try to put it up with it because I love her so much (yea that's right I still do) but after time them things get to you and well the person I turned into was not nice. The point really is if you love her and think you know her well mate go for it may be the best or worse thing in your life. I wish you all the luck in the world mate.

Probably because I make up my mind so quick about people.. without living with them. So its better to make sure you can live with them first.

 

[technoted]

yes, i am officially the first person to put as soon as you meet them, in all honesty why wait just get it over and done with.

 

[Rock 'n' Soul]

Congrats!

I would say wait at least a year, but then again, if you know, you know, right?

I dated a guy for three years and we didn't decide it wasn't going to work until after we had lived together. Test drive it before you buy it.

Anything shorter than 3 years and you really haven't seen the "real" person you are dating. (seriously, trust me on this one)

Anything longer than 3 years and you are just being commitment phobic.

please read the op.
If you had you would have realised i am not asking for advice. i'm merely asking a question and explaining why i am asking it.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I don't really think there's a standard on it; if you honestly feel that you'd like to spend the rest of your life with this person, then go for it.

 

[fix-the-spade]

I dunno, I'll tell you when I meet the right one.

My parents took 4 years to get round to it, but the other week I met a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary, he proposed after two days. there's no correct time to wait, it takes all sorts.

 

[crudus]

However long you feel you should wait. I personally would wait a few years. 6-12 months to see if you are compatible, then a few months living together, then propose.
