How long after knowing your partner did you propose?

Some very short times here :P I think, that anything under 4 or 5 years is a bit too quick to be honest :P 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.

Personally I'd disagree quite strongly, and citing examples of people I know who got married young (parents, friends of family, family relations), it seemed to enhance their lives far more!

In my opinion, it's the dream to be able to do everything with essentially your best mate. :)
 
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 :)

Ah, I said patiently waiting. I don't go on about it. He knows I'm ready when he wants to ask :)
 
Then it is good thing that not everything is always as it seems then isn't it. Of course you could always simply jump to making accusations about someone and about something you don't know anything about instead.

Castiels wife.

Back in your box Ahleckz!
 
If so she must be the first OCUK girl ever to not always have at least one 'BY THE WAY I'M A GIRL' reference in their signature, usename or post content :p
Indeed :P I asked because not many women will propose :P I always pick on girl-friends (by this I mean fiends who are girls, and not that I have many girl friends) that they are made to be in the kitchen (as a joke :P). They say we are equal, and my response is ALWAYS, so why do you expect a guy to ask you out, pay for meals, PROPOSE. Their answer is always the same, its a mas job :P

Fair enough. I do understand where you are coming from. Probably, its more kids related than wife. I don't want to be tied down by someone if I wanted to do an all nighter out with mates, or spend a day on my PC playing some brand new game that came out :P I know playing a new game is not experiencing life, but come on, you know what I mean :P
 
Age old question:

What do you do when you end up meeting a girl that you really do like but she has a boyfriend? :/

FML.

You wait.

No, you do not. You move on with your life and continue being awesome and doing things you enjoy. You will then meet other, equally suitable girls who are at a stage where a relationship is possible.

You don't put your life on hold. That is really, really terrible advice so you should stop giving it.

To answer the original question, I proposed after being with my now-wife for 3 years.
 
Been together 10 years since we were 17, known eachother for 15 years since we both started secondary school together.

This is the bit that might be strange for some - 3 years ago, we both bought our own flats, her a 1 bed, me a 3 bed. I then had two lodgers, one male and one female. 6 months ago they moved out so my gf sold her flat and moved in to mine.

No plans to get engaged.

I disagree. You make a move on the girl. If you don't, it'll always be a case of 'what if'. Be awesome, and always do what you want to do.
 
Proposed after 3 and a half years together, we had lived together for 2 years. We had been together 5 years when we got married.
 
Sure you know, but sometimes there's external factors which mean a proposal is just not gonna happen 'early' regardless

Of course, a mate of mine only recently got engaged after going out with his missus for 5 years, they knew they wanted to get married almost straight away but were in no rush.

Everyone is different and there is no right/wrong answer as to how long, well that is unless you're the female in the relationship then us chaps have to be mind readers and know what you want without telling us!
 
10 years.. We had a lot to deal with in that time and just gave it thought..

I proposed on the eve of the millennium.. She told me that morning not to do anything stupid like propose that evening. I already had the ring.. Damn woman!! :p
