Let's say you've been dating your SO for a while

What is your general rule of the thumb to wait before popping the question?

 

[FoBoT]

3 weeks or so

I ask myself, "do I see myself spending the rest of my life with this person". Is there any other question that matters?

 

[OutHouse]

Depends...where are the :camera:?

 

[NiKeFiDO]

yeah, 3 weeks is just about right...

Depends on your relationship. I've known my SO for about 7 years now, we've been serious for the past year and a half or so, I'm proposing this summer. Could be a short amount of time if the two of you are comfortable together, could take longer.

I'd say anywhere from a year to three years before you ask. If you've been friends for a long time before being in the relationship, shorter.

When you have absolute confidence that she is not just in it for the money.

If you're under age 21, wait until you are both at least 23. A young couple should be together at least 3-4 years before even considering it. There's just too much that can change when you're that age.

Older people (late 20's and older) can probably get by with a shorter courtship because most people are relatively stable by that point in their lives. I would still date for at least a year or two though.

 

[RossMAN]

Which question would that be?

 

[JasonSix78]

Look at her mom and say to yourself "Can I put up with a woman like that in xx years?"

-Jason

 

[Cal166]

For me, Past the 4 year mark.

[bigrash]

3 weeks seem a little too long. maybe 2.5 weeks or so

 

[jspeicher]

prenup

 

[CPA]

If you ask MichaelD, he'd probably say it's never a good time.

I asked after about a month.

dont do it.

A buddy of mine had a good saying for you:

"Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free???"

 

[azazyel]

when you want to have kids

 

[BCYL]

I don't think there is a general rule, you pop the question when you both are ready...

my gf and I have been dating for 9+ years, and we are still not engaged...
