Ive been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we talk about getting married (sometimes) and having kids, but he hasn't proposed yet, Do you think he's not ready or that he hasn't got the money for an engagement ring ?(even tho' I don't care what it's like). How long have u been engaged and did you have to drop a few hints?

I got engaged within 3 days of 'going out' with my hubby, we got married 8 years later!!

LOL Almost snap Maz :~D As I told Al on aother thread 4 days. Engaged for 18 months and married for 17 years this year. I got the one knee and flowers bit too, though we were pretty skint and my engagement ring was only £28! I got a lovely new sparkly one like I'd always wanted this christmas. XX Sioux

We had known each other a couple of years online then met and I moved a month later. We were living together for about 5 months and one Sunday Paul suggested getting married - 12 days later we were married :-) That was over 3 years ago now

Me and hubby got engaged after six weeks, married after 10 months and are celebrating our 7th Wedding anniversary next month! Susie x

we met in the august,when we were both 17 and got engaged about a month later(although it was a 'secret',my mum went mad) but we got 'offically' engaged when we were 18 and got married 5 yrs later,we've been married 13 yrs this year. told you we weren't too young didn't i mum :-))

Got engaged after 3 months, married 6 months later. Celebrated our 40th anniversary 2 weeks ago. Not bad eh. !!!!!!!!!!!! Liz

Perhaps we'll be like you then Suzie, we have talked about getting married but as far as I know we can only get married in an RO, cos neither of us are religious, but I'd like to get married in a beautiful place like in Neighbours where people get married at Lassiter's Lake. Maybe he'll propose when we on our two year anniversary (of being together). AL

Met at 16, engaged at 20, married a year later and due to celebrate our 32nd aniversary this year. PS she did the chasing...!

We never got engaged officially as he was in the Army and being sent to Germany. We met in March 1969 and married in July of the same year. 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren later we are still together. Love and Peace Marianne. xxxx

Do any of you think I should drop a few hints, and any suggestions? When I lived with parents and he came to see me we would sometimes walk past a lot of jewelery shops, so I could stop and hint that way, also he even found out my ring size, but this was a year ago now. AL

Hi I got engaged on my 18th - been going out with each other for 6 months, then got married on my 21st. Still happily married 15 + years on (though hubby keeps mumbling something about getting less for murder? Not sure wot he means! pmsl ;-D Vikki xx

Maybe he is saving to buy you a beautiful ring and waiting for some special moment to propose. We did it so quickly (engagement) as he was off to Canada for 4 months and then married as he was off to Bosnia for 6 months and I wanted to set up home but we couldn't do that unless we were married to be eligiable for an Army quarter.....We got married in a registry office and have plans for a blessing on our 10th anniversary......my fingers are crossed for you sweetie Susie xx

Going out together for six months then got engaged. Married fifteen months later(had to save up for wedding ) I was twenty & he was twenty three. Married now 48 years this aug & are grt grandparents!, Whoops that gives away our ages!!!!!!. Shirley

Knew him through work - but less than 24 hours after our first date - he proposed - I accepted and we married 6 mnths later - would have been sooner only had to wait for my son to take his A levels! Married 26 years now. Is a good husband (my rock), a very good stepfather and his g.children adore him. I was right to go with 'my gut'. Ann

We met in February got engaged in June and married the following June, 25 years next month. Looking back can't believe it. Definately would have waited if I had the time again.

I got my engagement ring a YEAR AFTER OUR WEDDING lol! Met aged 16 . Moved intogether aged 18. Married aged 20. Married this Nov for 20 yrs!! Much happiness Debi

Met at 17 (he was 22), courted for 18months before getting engaged maybe a bit sooner than we might have, as my g'ma was dying and wanted to see us engaged, she died 1 week later. We married another 18months after that, and been married 40 yrs. Val

I knew on our first date we'd get married. Got engaged after 8 months married 3 years later. Perharps he wants to plan something special and is waiting for the right time. Money could be the issue too. Drop some hints!

I've been married over 33 years and he's never proposed! We met 4 July and the following year on that day he gave me an engagement ring. We had already talked generally about getting married but the ring was a big surprise. We got married later that year, in October.
