Is it to early to get/talk about being engaged?

Question

Me and my boyfriend(I’m almost 20 he is almost 23) have been dating for a few months now and we both haven’t felt this way towards someone like we do with each other. We both know in our hearts that we wanna be together forever but he has been talking about being engaged by the end of the year which will make it a little less then a year of being together. I just feel like being with someone for less then a year and getting engaged is moving to fast but everyone tells me that once you know you know and that time doesn’t matter. What are y’alls opinion on how long a couple should be together before getting engaged?

Answer

I don't think it's too early to talk about long term plans. If you're both on the same page, it's not crazy to make plans for the future. However, talking about getting engaged is way different from actually having a ring on your finger and planning a wedding. If you feel like things are moving too fest, tell him. Let him know that you are fully invested in this relationship and have no plans to leave any time soon, but you're not quite ready to plan for marriage. When my boyfriend (now husband) and I were getting close to that point, we made a list of everything we wanted to do and talk about before engagement. Our list included discussions about religion, family planning, careers, and finances. Other friends if mine said it was important for them to take a solo trip to another country, all on their own, before devoting their life to someone else.

Answer

I had a few boyfriends that I felt the “once you know you know” with and they ended up absolutely not being the one once the honeymoon phase wore off after the first year. Everyone is different but that’s just my experience, the first year is always exciting and wonderful.

Answer

Everyone is on their best behavior for the first year of a relationship. I say you give it two years minimum to make really really sure, before you get engaged.

Answer

I dont know going on 8 years over here still nothing. He bought me a card that said wife and im not sure how to feel about it; he has never asked me or taken the effort to propose so im not sure why he thinks its ok. Everyones different and their time is different I guess just go with your gut feeling.

Answer

Not soon to talk about the future but I think you should wait at least 3 yrs before getting engaged. I noticed a lot of people break up around that time and start having problems. I think that’s because by that point you really get to know the person and whether you want them to stick around for the rest of your life or not

Answer

I was with my boyfriend (now husband) about 13 months before getting engaged. When we got engaged, I was 17 and he was 20

Answer

Once you know, you know! Everyone is different.
