it's one of those things you will just know. I am sure rollo, 5string, slickster will tell you the exact same thing. there is no set time. Lyndon Johnson proposed to lady bird the
NIGHT he met her and they were always very happily married. It took me about 2 and a half years of dating.
you just know when you are ready tot ake that step.
with that said...see, here is the problem. the 800 pound girllia if you will. the only way I and others here knew, is that we had a lOT of experience with the opposite sex, things to judge against. by the time i proposed there was NO doubt in my mind what i wanted long term. I knew and was happy with the decision, probably happier than she was honestly. Not only did I find the right person I screened her correctly and was with her long enough to know what to expect, to know her good enough and what not.
what i am getting at is... i don't think it's possible for you to know, seriously know unless you have sown your oats so to speak. If you have dated all of 2 girls in the last 8 years a good home cooked meal and a blow job will probably shoot you over the moon. anything is going to make you think that she is the one if you have not been with enough women to know what to expect from them.
I think that's one of the main reasons there is so much divorce in the country. yes, women.. most of them need to grow up. but there are too many marriages in first place. too many men marrying women who have no business g etting married, but the guys don't know any better.
But I feel im in the same boat as OP. Ive been with a girl for a while, and shes everything I could want, but just something is missing. I cant quite put my finger on it.. Maybe things are too normal which is the problem. So society and family has it set where the next step is marriage.
"why" some may ask, well the reason for me, just like some others is FAMILY. I want to have kids, IN wedlock (for obvious reasons), and live that mundane life. However, how does one know this is the girl? I cant imagine one vagina, but yet not the cheating type. So, some of you that are married; were you in the same position and now happy? Does everyone have their doubts.
this sounds like my old LTR amber. she was very hot and very intoe and we dated for about a year and some months. she was older than me, 27 but still, ass licking hot. she wanted me to propose. and i liked her. my mom thought she would be good for me. my dad thought she would be good for me (and him because he triied to sleep with her)... and on the outside, she looked like she would be okay. but at the end of the day it just wasn't right. i thought i could do better and that she was not the one i wanted to spend the rest of my life with. plus i was out on the pressure so i cut her lose.
at the end of the day you have to do what makes yOU happy. if it doesn't feel right don't do it. way too expensive a decision.
