How long you and your fh been dating before getting engaged?

We dated for just shy of 4 years before getting engaged and will be getting married on our 6 year anniversary!

2 years, we are getting married the day after our 4th anniversary together,

DH and I met through a video dating company - before the internet, lol. We were each other's first dates through the company and were engaged 29 days after meeting, married less than 5 months later and just celebrated our 25th anniversary. When you know, you know! Congrats on your engagement!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for sharing! That was a beautiful, The heart wants what the wants.... theirs no escaping that.

We knew each other for 4 years and had been dating for 3 when he proposed.

We have been dating for almost 6 years and will be getting married on 9/15/18! So excited to continue this lifelong journey with my forever best friend!!

We were together for 4 years before we got engaged. Our engagement will be a year long. We just celebrated 5 years together. It also helps that we have lived together for 4 years so far.

Dated 3 years (long distance)..have been engaged for 8 months and will be getting married in 23 days

Six years, and had lived together for five, been long distance for the other one.

We dated 5 months then got engaged. We got married 15 months after engagement. Been together 3 years now and married 1 year and 4 months.

When we got engaged it was like 3 years and 8 months. When we get married it will be 4 years to the day.

5 years together, have been engaged for 1,5 years.

Wow ours is exactly like yours. I was dating someone for 7 years and he gave me the run around every time we talked about getting married. I couldn’t waste any more time then I met my fiancé and he said he knew it right away the moment he met me. I concur too.

6 years being in love and almost 2 years dating. About a year dating and living in the same city. (There is a difference) my marriage and family therapist professor recommended about 2 years dating and living in the same city.

3.5 years, but we knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives like 3 years before we even started dating. (We were in high school and it was a love at first sight kind of thing, he was always too shy to talk to me).

View Quoted Comment My professor also recommended that if the person isn't seriously considering marriage after 2 years (to leave him or her because they might have commitment issues.) Of course that depends on age. I wouldnt tell a 16 year old to get engaged in 2 years

We had been dating for a year and 4 months when he proposed, we bought a house after a year of dating, though.

Our engagement is a year and a half and we are getting married on our 3 year anniversary so we can keep our anniversary forever!

Just under 2 years! Will be 3.5 by the time we get married

FH and I got engaged 3 months after dating, too! We met at work over a year before and we were always friends. We were both in previous relationships when we met, and there was always that chemistry there but we figured nothing was going to happen.

Fast forward a year later and our relationships ended, we decided to give it a chance. Almost immediately we knew that this is it and that we’re getting married. After our 5th date we were talking about marriage and kids with each other. And here we are now, 10 months engaged ☺️ It’s so true, when you know you know! And timing is also important too
