Question 4 all the married people...
- Thread starter Gr8KarmaSF
- Start date
oh i knew really early on in the relationship that we would get married.. i just played cool and didnt put any pressure on him-i never mentioned marriage until he was the first one to bring it up.
about a year later he was talking about getting married. i didnt rush him at all, because i knew if i did he would get scared and run!! lol..
im pretty proud of myself because if you all knew me in person, you would know that i have ZERO patience for anything lol..

I can beat that.David R;1846546; said:7 years with my GF and still no ring.....
17 yrs ,2 kids(girl 7yrs & boy 12 yrs) and still no ring.I had no plans of ever being taken , always thought single life was for me.I guess we just kinda grew together through the yrs.
Date is finally set though. Getting married in Vanuatu on 09/09/09
You can't rush a good thing
I thought after the first date it was a possibility, I knew for sure after 6 months.
The one thing I can say for sure though is don't rush it, If you think it may work then move in together and actually live together for a while, like someone else at the start said 5 years is a good amount of time, 2 -3 years min I would say before you truly commit to the marriage idea. That gives you lots of time to get to know one another as a couple, every one has their faults and pet peeves but many you don't know till you live together and many of the "cute" things she or he does can turn into really annoying things once you live together. If you can stay happy living together for 5 years you know it will work and it's what you want.
Thats the best advise I can give take your time before you pop the question and be sure it will work in the long run.
I met my soon to be wife at a friends place and we hit it off, we moved in together about a week after we met (very fast I know). We have been together now for 6 or 7 years, have one 3 year old son and another baby on the way due late Nov early Dec., and still aren't officially married, I proposed last x-mas and were now planing for next summer money permitting (man kids cost a lot) but at this point we know 100% it's what we want and that we can live together happily.

i always wanted my wife if you know what i mean lol. was best friends with her in hightschool but when i asked her out i got the i dont wanna mess up our friendship. well after high school i shiped out and came back to see her, she dumped her b4 who was a loser with no education and no job. and went out with me. we dated almost 6 months and then i was geting shipped out to iraq. we ran and got married and when i came home i was one of the few that still had a wife. but ya about 6 months for me and i knew i wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, i mean i always kinda felt it but about 6 months i was for sure for sure and poped the ?
