Whitelexi, you have such common views, I'm sure you'll find a very common woman to share them with you.

my parents got married 3 months after meeting and 28 years later, then are still together, it depends on if you've found the one for you.

That is why those girls they end up marring from back home come here and leave them. Serves them right i must say. A lottttttt  of cases like that expecially in the USA. The hunters sure ain't aiming good enough.

I believe 3 years is minimum to have date in order to get married. I was married and divorced, now i am long time single. Still i want 3 yr dating before into serious marriage committment.

So far many ex-guys and I did stay 3 year relationship and broke up to move on another---no regret until find the right soul mate. Not easy!!! Most guys whom i dated were cold feet about marriage, no problem!!! SIGH!!! undecided cry

this post intresting, we r all forgettng that it is only God that will know how long we need to decide wen we know he/she is the one!  it all boils down to if its feels right and u have put it in the hands of God, it may also take longer because one may not be ready spiritually, financially and emotionally.

I feel only those who have experience can give a true comment here.My view is it all boils down to if you(guy or girl) are mature enough and ready to marry.
By then you would have a , with if you don't then you probably won't even after 5 years.I knew a girl who dated a guy (very close to me) fromwhen she was 17 for 7yrs. When they broke up it was so nasty and she was blaming me for not exposing the guy to her before.She said it was like she never really knew him,because the guy was one of those rare romantic loverboy types in Naija
Please note if at the onset of a relationship you start talking about marraige or settling down youhave shot yourself in the foot.thats when  you will get Oscar winning acting from your partner, male or female.
Propsed to my wife after 4 months ,married in 10 months.
Best decision I ever made grin

it depends on what u both feel for each other. u need to be sure before going into marriage because it is a serioud commitment sad
Re: Is Dating Someone For 1 Year Too Soon To Get Married? by ihcihc(f): 11:25am On May 02, 2007
frm a girl's perpective, I think after being with a guy after 6 months, she knows what she wants from him. women come to this decision quicker but we keep it quiet and just wait(pretend even) till the man realises what he wants. it doesnt matter 6mths, 1yr etc. we know the moment we see u in most cases, its called a tickbox list. I personally do not waste time with men that r after one thing. its like a game im afraid and women r pretty gd at it. afterall we came frm eve, LOL, Its love yes but its also a pratical decision these days!

marrying someone on short notice is like walking into a dark tunnel without a flashlight.

marriage is not a walk in the park. do u love him? are u sure u wants 2 spent the rest of his life with him?

are u very sure he loves u? men do pretend alot.

get 2 know the other person well because, once u get 2 the altar, it will be 2 late.

my little advise is 2 continue dating so that both can watch each other closely .
one year is 2 small 2 study a man u want 2 live with 4ever.
don't be in haste OK.

Depends.
Its not impossible too.
Re: Is Dating Someone For 1 Year Too Soon To Get Married? by adeboo(f): 5:30pm On Nov 06, 2007
I personally dont think that there is such a thing as a soul mate. I think there are people that u can date and compliment well and ur dreams and visions.

Well, i dont think it is the length of time, i think its the fact that u have run through all your checklist (e.g. how is he around ur friends, their family, your family, authority, how many laws they break etcand he is rite for you. Obviously praying hard and keeping ur eyes open. Make a good friend of urs look at the relationship from the outside and tell u the truth.

In my opinion, a year without sex is enuff because sex tends to blur one's thinking faculties.

Without sex, i think one year is enuff to stop all the pretense and lies that is if u're within the same geographical vicinity.
