    Given how long you've been together I wouldn't say it was too soon. But unless you're actually planning to marry him in the next two years (which is sort of the socially acceptable limit for an engagement) it seems a bit silly. If you want him to propose just so you can be engaged then yes, you're too young. If you want to get engaged and start planning the wedding soon then no, although good luck with affording it.

    No not at all, i'm 20, my fiance is 38, we've been together 7 months and he propesed 3 months ago. We're getting married on the 20th of April 2013, i'll be 21!

    Getting engaged at any age doesn't matter, age in a relationship doesn't matter, if love, happiness and trust is there then it shouldn't be a question.

    there are 18 year olds who are committed enough to their country, to risk their lives, by serving in the country. If people who are 18 are capable of making that sacrifice and commitment, than a 21 year old may be able to handle the commitment of marriage.

    honestly, my grandma was 19 when she got married and my grandpa was in his early 20's, but they were in love. They have been together for over 50 years. I have seen people who are in their 30's or 40's get married who get divorced in a few years. I think it depends on the maturity and the level of commitment and self-sacrificial love (do you love the person so much that you would die to save them? will you prioritize their needs even when there's a cost..of course still look out for yourself too...)

    on one hand you have time, but you have been dating for 4 years, so you're not really rushing anything. What matters is your level of commitment etc. It will be tough (at times) no matter how old you are. but it can be the most rewarding thing. just make sure you love each other deeply and would sacrifice for each other. make sure you have good problem solving skills and communication skills.

    No...Hell I wanna be you when I'm your age....Engaged...at 21??? I wanna be engaged by then,so no...it's not too early to want that.If he asks & you feel he's the one,go for it,girl.

    You should ask yourself...Is this the man that I want to be the FIRST person I see when I wake up in the morning and the LAST person I see when I go to sleep??? Is this the man I want as the father of my kids(If you have any)??? Is this the man I wanna spend forever with??? And...Am I REALLY ready to settle down??? If your answers to all these questions are YES,then dream on until he gets down on his knee,opens that ring box,and pours out his heart to you and says,"WILL YOU MARRY ME!!!"

    Ok maybe I'm a little overly romantic,but I think you'll get my point.

    No because getting engaged seems to be done on a whim these days anyway and it dont seem to mean much coz you can still seperate just as easy as if you wasnt engaged.

    Any hurry? People tend to marry latter these days in early 30's but it can vary

    What are you stupid?? DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!

    Ask yourself if you are ready to give up every other M&M in the bag for just that one?

    Think about it....Sure the chocolate melts in your mouth and not in your hand. But eventually You will want to brush your teeth.
