How long would you date someone without getting engaged?

That really depends on how you "click" I think. 6 years is a nice amount of time to be able to tell how well you'd do together long-term, but there is no set timer on it hun! Just be happy =] that's the point!

6 years can fly by quickly. And you're very young, I think most people start thinking about getting engaged in their late 20's early 30's. But hey, perhaps your boyfriend can't afford an engagement ring right now? lol.

I think too long is when you reach 10+ years and are still not really making more serious plans for the future. But it depends, some people don't really believe in marriage and are just happy being together as they are.

Do you know what his views on marriage are?

dang, thats a long time. i would want to wait until i'm at least 25 (i'm 16...) and dating the person at least 5 years. theres always the 4 year itch that i would want to get by. 6 years is good :)

my fiancee and i were dating for 5 years b4 we got engaged and now we have been together 7 years and we are planning to finally get married this year. oh yeah he is 26 and i am 23.

don't get married till you are like 24-25. You may be an adult now,but your personality is still turning you into who you are going to be.

I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years. if you are happy the way things are why change it?

2 days!
