that depends on the couple I have friend that have dated 4 months and are engaged and some that have been dating for 2 years and arn t ready. it depends on the people. Good luck but don t rush into anything.

It does depend on the couple. I was engaged after 6 months (didn't work out), and now I've been in a relationship for 2 years and we're not at that point yet. Everyone is different. Marriage is a big commitment, so don't hurry it along, and I hope everything works out okay.

A specific amount of time to wait to receive a proposal is like comparing apples to oranges. Every relationship is different. Some people can meet date and decide to marry in a short amt of time. Others date for decades before deciding to marry.

I was listening to the radio this morning and they said that if after two years no one has proposed, the couple isn't getting married. I think that's about right, honestly. You hear about couples that are together for years and years that never get married (I know one of my friends that's been w/her man for about 6...they have kids together and everything but no ring on her finger...), and you hear about couples that date for 6 months and they're planning wedding bells. So, I'd say after two years. Depends on the couple, though - my husband's parents got married after being together for 16 years, but the reason was that they were saving up for a HUGE wedding. They rented out a hotel, had doves, a fountain, the whole nine.

Because I'm an Indian, my mum has always told me I should be married six months after meeting the person (If I like the person of course). This is a scary thought. It takes me a heck of a long time to get to know people. Though I'm lucky, my grandparents never met each other until their wedding day.

I don't have a specific number, really. I think that once both parties are ready to commit fully, then they're ready. I think this is partly the reason alot of marriages have ended up in divorce- becaue they reach the 4 or 5 year mark and the pressure is on- so they get married even if they aren't ready. I'm not interested in that. I'd rather date for 10 years and then get married, if we're ready. There shouldn't be any pressure, but it should be taken seriously.

They're really is not set amt. of time. My husband and I only knew each other 4 months and we have been married for 32 years...and it was a blind date.

Well...that's a good question, I have been dating my man for 6 years and i think that's too long, but he doesn't. I think that I might leave if it doesn't happen soon, i just feel that if he feels he's not really after all this time, then we are BOTH JUST WASTING OUR TIME.

1 year - if you don't know by then you will never know

I believe there should not be time frame as to how soon. It should be whenever you feel it's right. personaly I think 6months to a year. Then a propsal.. then about 6 months to a year for the wedding.

I just ended my relationship of 5 years as a couple, 4 years prior on and off dating. I feel that 3 years is long enough. Listen to what a man says early on. If they say they don't know if they ever want to marry, but if they did it would be you. When you hear that girls, run for the hills. Don't waste your heart time like I did. I'm 49 now. I wasted the last days of non wrinkles on a man that has a commitment phobia! They don't change and if it's not what they want and you force them into it, the relationship dies fast. Any comments from a brave and honest guy?

Definitely by one year... I dated someone for the three years, and we never got engaged because our futures weren't set yet. Because of that I lost her, so if I pulled the trigger back then this would be a happier story.
