Engagement

[Jake]

Right im just wondering (no im not planning to ask someone to marry me) but im 20 nearly 21 and like 3-4 of my mates from school are engaged after being with people like 5-7 months?

I dont get tht cos imo you dont truly know someone till way after tht.

How much time would you give before you got engaged?

[Deak]

It depends on how well you get on with that person, some people need a few month, some a couple of years... so yeh as i say it just depends on when it feels right

I suppose everybody's different in how they feel but personally it'd have to be a good couple of years for me. I think 7 months is awfully short to be making a decision like that.

This girl from work is 18 and engaged, even though she has been with her boyfriend for a year, it's actually terrible.

[Shar]

I'd wait a couple of years personally, but it depends on the relationship one has with an individual I guess.

[Conservative,]

Depends for me...if I was with them 24/7 and really truly loved them, then maybe 9 months, but normally...probably 1-2 years.

Depends on the person who I like

Anyway a bit off topic, someone I know is engaged. She's 15. They're waiting till after college for marriage. I think that's pretty cool tbh.

personally i've been with my girlfriend 3 years and although we're deeply in love we're (in our opinion) far too young to get engaged. we are 18. i'd rather wait a couple more years til im certain to get engaged and then even a couple more til when we're settled to get married.

Someone in my year on valentines this year got engaged. (16 years of age). That was their 1 year aniversarry.

My friends parents got engaged after like 2 weeks I think it was :L and they're still together now.

But I do think it has to be like at least a year, although I see the temptation, its a bit reckless + risky doing it before at least 1 year.

But she's still so young, how does she know that's really what she wants? That's such a big commitment to make at that age.
