I think it varies. I know people who have been together for 10 years but they’re not yet married (since high school). I’ve been with my bf for 4 years this june and I still haven’t gotten a ring yet (but then again were only 21 and still have to wait till we finish school next year). And personally, I think that 1 and a half year is not long enough (no offense) but I guess that’s just me.

I think you shouldn’t put any pressure on him. You guys can talk about it but don’t force him to do it. Doing so might just break you guys apart.

If I were you, I wouldn’t mind what other people say. As long as you’re together and are happy, why rush? All that really matter is that you love each other.

In any case, either you can talk to him about it or make the move!

Goodluck!

My first reaction is to ask why he needs to be the one to step up? If you are serious about the relationship and getting married then it shouldn’t matter who asks who. If you are ready and think it is time, then I say you should go for it.

I met my wife at 3:30 in the afternoon,proposed to her at 7 pm,and married her the next weekend. That was 9 wonderful years ago…

Yeah,your guy should have popped the question long ago…

me and my husband were together for about 5 months before we decided to get married, we were together for 6 months exactly to the day when we got married, dont pay any attention to your brother, and tell him the same thing. When he is ready he will propose, he wants it to be a surprise, so just wait. Me and my husband have been happily married for almost a year and half, and i do mean happily, we are coming up on our two year anniversary of being together. Just go along with it, and he may surprise you in the near future. Good luck, and congratulations when it happens.

Women of today need to change their habits and stop moving in with guys they say they love. IF a man respects you, he will want to marry you FIRST, then move in together. Women are making it too easy for men. Give him a time limit and if he doesn’t agree to marry you he is probably not that committed to the relationship. Do you want to spend the rest of your life with someone like that?

There is a no time frame, if it feels right, WHEN it feels right, he will propose

i believed in waiting ten years for ONE person i thought was pure destiny.
i waited another 5 years for a 2nd one, now, im single and too old to marry. for that matter im unemployable now and i never caught the ship to my fortunes, but then again, i remember i made a vow of poverty because i thought it was the righteous thing to do at age TEN.

realistically if a guy does not propose in two years you have waited to long.

this is one of my mistakes. i was waiting for the women to have a divine revelation, which never happened that i know of,

i have fallen in LOVE 11 times in my life and have personally liked about 25 girls. i dont think any of them really knew i loved them. or believed in eternal marriage.

It is the mans job to do the proposing. But you can’t rush him. Now if you were together for like 7 years and still nothing…I’d be saying something… but 1 1/2…you don’t have anything to worry about.Just give him time. Im sure hes just trying to plan it perfect.

I’m more of a Sadie Hawkins kinda gal myself. I say step up, bring up the topic, and you could ask what concerns he has. That will bring about the reasons why he may not have said anything. He may be saving for a ring, you never know.
