How long should a man take to propose?

Currently in a relationship, and honestly I want to marry him, he feels the same. We were joking around and I said don’t take more than a year to propose, and it got me thinking, why wait so long if you know what you want? (I’m a strong believer in the institution of marriage due to my beliefs, so that’s one of my reasons). But it’s not even that I’m trying to rush it, I just don’t think I’d like knowing who I want to be with and not being able to make it official. Thoughts?

Take your time be patient and build a foundation of trust and love , your still young you have plenty of time girl don’t rush into anything , marriage is one of the biggest steps you’ll take in your life so make 100% sure it’s the right choice for all the right reasons , marriage is a very serious commitment just be sure your ready for it and give him time to be sure he’s ready too if he feels the same you’ll know it and he’ll know when he’s ready to pop the question and when he finally does it will be that much more special if you just wait for him and don’t pressure him ,

@Acadiaisgone no problem girl . Can you tell I like Star Wars lol.
I say no less than 1 year. You want to make sure you really know the other person.

It's a big step. Give him time to be comfortable with his decision.

Me and my wife / ex (seperated) dated for 4 1/2 years before we got engaged we’ve been married now technically for 18 years since sept 30th 2000 , but seperated for that last 4 so , not sure if you should really be taking marriage advice from me lol but I have leaned a lot from the experience and about myself since we’ve been seperated.
I don´t understand the rush
Three months! If he's not ready financialy, and you happen to be, How about you propose? Who said it's the Man's job to do so in the first place? I know mean who broke the cycle and been married happily for years.

It’s honestly not about WHO’s proposing, just really about when we should make it “official” and take that step that we are promising to get married. I didn’t think people would take the question as such so I should of worded it differently lol! @Hayman
@Acadiaisgone makin' it official shouldn't require that much, or does it in your belief! Anyhow, Suit yourselves. Best wishes!
I don't know or care. I don't give a fuck about tradtional things like that. If you love someone so much and the relationship, then YOU should propose, regardless of if you're a guy or a girl.

@FearfulHarmonyReborn oh no it has nothing to do with traditional proposals, or waiting on him to propose TO ME. It’s moreso, we know we want to get married, but when should he or even I (didn’t think about that 😂😅 ) officially propose it.
@Acadiaisgone k but im pissed at people rn and thats a thing i feel strongly about

The one time I was engaged, he proposed about 9 months after we met. We weren't even living together yet, I thought it was kind of fast

Are you living together ? There is actually no time period. Depends on his age and career as well.. most prefer to settle late..

Some men will never propose because they don't feel the need to get married.

If he is getting benefits he can take forever.

Many people wait to be sure they deeply understand know, love & accept who that other person is. That being said sometimes people know early it’s right. I know a couple in their 70s who got married 3 months after meeting. Happy together still now. My fiancé will be married in 4 months & we’ve known each other less than 2 years. Take the important weight of this lifetime decision but ultimately you two will be the only who can make that right decision

Thanks a lot, I love your response 😄 @Mrsbetweenfatandfit
