WE had bee ngoing out for two years, and we moved in together becasue we were each paying $700 for crap apartments, and significantly improved our living situation. She said, "Just because we're moving in together, don;t think this is goign t olet you postpone us getting engaged"
I got into this really intense debate about "the right pacing and time" and she got really sad. But She didn't know I ahd already bought the ring and popped the question the next week, at Christmas.
That was 11 years ago. Still going strong.
Everyone has their own timeline. Just make sure you're ready. I knew when i felt sincerely interested in her happiness, and would take time to work out differences. With previous girls, if it got too intense, I'd bail out. A lot of that had to with feeling she felt the same way.
