I have to respectfully disagree. Most people have a set date when they get engaged, and start planning it immediately, unless you're talking about the people you know. It definitely matters because you want to be able to be ready for that commitment with each other, if there is no set date, there you're not serious about it and you might as well not even be engaged.
Exactly, but like I said, dude is too much of a coward to tell her that and, instead, is just stringing her along by making empty promises.
Yes bottom line. Clearly if you aren't ready mentally, haven't decided, to marry the person right there when you ask don't ask.
As someone else said already. If it's something you really want to do, you don't take long.
If they don't have an exact date they have at least the year and season. Some have the month too.
It isn't that way for men. It's that way for YOU because you have no backbone.
It seems a lot of people don't really seem to understand the idea of a marriage.
The main purpose of a marriage, sans religion and romance, is to establish an estate, family unit, and partnership between two romantic partners.
That means, you are trusting your SO to enter into a sort of business agreement. You are trusting them with legal matters, financial matters, management matters, and all sorts of other powers.
It's a whole lot more serious than "You don't love me enough to commit".
You don't get married just because you love someone, brehs and brehettes.
then why even propose 10 years in advance in the first place
), and you want to spend the rest of your life with her, then proceed
