At what point in your relationship did you start talking about the possibility of marriage? This is just a curiosity thing.

About six months into the relationship.

First off, I hope you are not asking for yourself, because seeing the date of when you and your boyfriend got together, that is waaaaaay too early. I don't want to sound mean, but the reality is, you need time to see what your partner is really like.

Take it from me, I was engaged twice! The first was my high school sweetheart and we were with each other 24/7. Then, I went into the armed service and decided to pop the question after only a year of being with her. Later, I found out that she and her mother were stealing money out of my bank account when I was overseas. I dumped her after I found out and that was after we got gifts and money from an engagement party.

When I met my current wife, we dated on and a little off for nearly 5 years! It takes time to really know someone inside and out. You have to see the good AND the bad in a person and decide if you can live with the bad aspects of that person.

Keep in mind though, I was 32 years old...not a teen or a young adult.

I'm not married or anything but I noticed the date you and your boyfriend got together. My sister and her boyfriend's first date was two days before yours lol. They are actually making wedding plans now. He has a ring for her but it waiting till sometime unexpected to pop the question, as he told my mother and uncle. I say, it all depends on what kind of relationship it is, how much you two really love each other. My sister's relationship hasn't been an easy one, they had to/still have to go through alot of disapporvements of the relationship, but they just care that they love each other. Good luck!

My friend who is eighteen is engaged to a guy she's known for two months. Not that this has anything to do with the original question but I just thought I'd share.

We started the marriage talk when I was 18 and he was 20, I was engaged at 20 and married at 21. I started young LOL

I know this really doesn't have anything to do with it but I find it weird how shocked some of the people are. The reason my sis and her boyfriend are recieving disapprovals is because she is 18 and he is 35. *Shrugs*

I think so too. I mean, at eighteen, we barely know who we are. How the heck are we supposed to figure someone else out? I just don't get it. I think it's a crazy idea.

Just to clear things up, no, I am not asking for myself. Believe me, the last thing on my mind right now is any thoughts of marriage. It was just something we were discussing in one of my classes, about people who rush into marriage vs people who wait, and I was just curious about it.

I'm glad to hear it. I just think both the guy and the girl take time to know each other. Go to college, get an education, get a job, live life on their own for awhile and then get to know this person who they feel they want to spend the rest of their life with.

About 6 months after we officially met we got engaged and a few months after that we were married. We are both in our 30's and knew what we wanted. We are very happy and I don't regret anything but I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found this prince.
