Hi folks, its been years since I posted here,and I have more questions I was afraid to ask others..
My girlfriend and I have gotten to know eachother in August of 2009, and have been dating since November of '09 (almost a year and a half).
We moved in together last August (2010) and have since been trying to live that co/in-dependent couple lifestyle.
My question is, how long do you wait before you pop the question?
I'm sure I'll get that, "you'll know when the time is right" or "you'll know if she's the One", generic pep talk from someone, but I'd like to hear from your experiences.
I'm a very practical person who's lost a sense of 'sensitivity' about things, and I can only think of this from a logical standpoint - She's been morally and emotionally supportive to me.. but can u imagine bickering with someone for 70 more years? Can you picture them 70 yrs older and still enjoy it? Have you?
I've come to realization that moving in with her is setting up the building blocks.. Subtle talk of marriage comes up here and there... I wanna let go and let God, but I'm too practical and realistic to think about a god in my scenarios. So I turn to you, people!

How long to wait before you Pop The Question!

Nowadays many couples get married when they decide to have children, but you don't have to wait that long.If you are getting on well now, you will probably continue to do so, more or less. (Of course there will be ups and downs.) Infatuation declines but affection grows with time, and you get used to rubbing along with each other.

If I understand this right, you want to marry her... yes?
The right time is when you are sure. I know that comes with the risk of rejection but trust your instincts. i.e. would you be willing to marry someone when you have no idea if she would marry you?
Also, by now, you must know her take on marriage; generally positive or negative.
What I have learned is that you have to run with your feelings and damn the torpedos.
