Marriage
How long would you be willing to date someone before you either left or proposed marriage to them? You being a 30 something female he being a late 30 something male.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
I would wait at least a year before getting engaged, minimum, and 3 years maximum. After 3 years, if there's still no ring, he definitely has commitment issues.

I'd say from 5 years and up, just to be sure you really love them.
]
1 year or longer
]
1-2 years depending on the situation

people are waiting a while now a days.. i'd give 2 maybe even 3 years before marriage.. a few months may be kinda crazy b/c after like 2 years of dating you're really familiar with the person and you'll really know if you're ready to be with them "for life". but when you're ready you should know. =]

Depends on how attracted you are to him, or how long you need to stay with him for the positive knowing thats hes the best for the rest of your life. I mean you know, when you know!

2 or 3 years! But you have to make sure hes the one! Thats one of the biggest mastakes you can make in life so make sure hes rite! x3_ sara*

It depends. How much do you like this guy? Have you talked to him about it? That's a huge step that my female friends forget to take. He may be totally happy in the relationship without marriage while you're wringing your hands waiting for him to pop the question (that he doesn't even know he's supposed to pop). Let him know that you want to marry HIM and be with HIM.
I know people who have dated for 6-10 year sbefore getting engaged OR married because they just weren't ready to take that final step.
My fiance and I really knew each other for maybe 16 months before we got engaged this past April. We had talked about it and we were both ready (he's 30 and I'm 24). We aren't getting married until next July (so that's 15 months after being engaged.

A couple of years would seem about right, I would guess. Still, after you've been with someone for two years - why are your only options proposing or leaving them?
If you've been with someone for awhile, then these sorts of topics should have come up naturally - at least if it was a relationship that both people saw as going somewhere. Sitting down and having the 'us' discussion could save you a lot of time and heartbreak; just don't do it one month into the relationship!
Good luck.

most psychiatrists say you should wait atleast 2 years before the engagement, and have 1 year before the wedding.. that way you can know everything about them! and you can leave anytime you want if you dont like them.... hope i helped!

Me after almost a year i was like ok..i was 28 and he was 37..to me..if you do not know what is what by then...but we got married as I forced the issue.
However...i WOULD never force it again..i would have thought..this guy doe NOT want to be married. he still would be single..trust me...so WHO really won??
He is ans was REALLY stuck in his single way and it was so hard for the first 5 years.
If you love him so much that YOU cannot image life without him i would tell him it is time.
See at this age..you guys have been through enough dates to committ to each other.
Now if he has been married before..that is a WHOLE different issue.
So be prepared to walk away if you do not get the answer....
THIS is hard...i feel for you as I have been in this situation...
]
i'd wait for a year or two.....or when u feel comfortable with him.....
