We dated for just over 8 months...but I knew early on that he was "the one"...just didn't think it would be this easy. After we got engaged, he said he's known for a while and has had the ring since Christmas (engaged in February).
My parents dated for a whole two months before getting engaged and they've been married over 30 years now.
We dated for about two and a half years before he proposed. We knew we were going to get married about a year before that but were waiting until I got closer to finishing grad school. He jumped the gun a little by proposing a year and a half before I was supposed to graduate Now we'll be married before then too!
We dated for 7.5 years before engagement and our wedding will be on our 9th dating anniversary...kind of offsets the fact we moved in together after dating for a little over a week, lol
Started dating my junior his senior year of highschool. Dating 9 years got engaged this past March.
If it was up to him he'd have gotten married out of highschool. I wanted to go/complete college (he didn't go) and make sure we have good FT jobs first. And grow up. I was being practical
