You got to be yanking my chain..
What are you waiting for? someone better to come along?
I proposed last year after 9yrs together, there is no hurry for this sort of thing, and we are both very happy so why rush?
How long after knowing your partner did you propose?

3 years before proposing. She knew I was going to do it too. Been together 9 years now, but feels half that in a good way!

8 years together for me. Approaching our fourth wedding anniversary later this month.
Wow, 2 days, that seems insane. Saying that, I know what it's like to be under the influence of utter infatuation, it's probably society that makes me boring and dictates that I wouldn't propose until I had lived with someone for a year 
My friend had a girlfriend that kept going on about marriage. He eventually took her aside and said 'look, every time you ever so much as mention marriage, I'm putting back your engagement date by 6 months'. That shut her up!
They are engaged now

Wow, some short answers on page 1. Most of my family tied the knot after 4 years - proposed at the 3 year mark then married a year after.
I had an ex who proposed to me at the 4 month mark. Christmas mock exams in my A level year. No way!

Went out with my missus for 2 1/2 years, 1 year engaged, 9 years married next month. Was 23 when I got married.
As has been said already, when you've met the one you know!

Sure you know, but sometimes there's external factors which mean a proposal is just not gonna happen 'early' regardless

Some very short times here I think, that anything under 4 or 5 years is a bit too quick to be honest Obviously, as shown by a few people here, it can week, and very well, but I still think that very few relationships stay alive for years, if you propose too soon. I don't plan on getting married until I'm 25. The later the better. Want to experience life to the full, and not be tied up so soon. Obviously, people are different.
Are you a girl? Only reason I am asking is because if you are a guy, you don't see many girls proposing
