Bf of 6 months Proper time for proposal?

You should be dating at least a year before you get engaged - you need to get to know each other better, go through holidays, spend time with your families, etc. With more time, also, you and him can save up your money for the wedding, since you should be mature and paying for it yourselves.

It depands on the couple's level of maturity.  If he pops the question, tell him that you would prefer a long engagement.  This will give you both a chance to grow with each other and find out it it is right.  I wouldn't get married just yet...  heck, you are only 18, you can wait a year or two...

That is such a personal thing.  I don't know that there is any one right time frame for that.  I knew 6 months into my relationship that I was going to get married, but I know some relationships that last for years and years and the couple is't ready to commit.  This is really something to decide for yourself.

Anytime of the year! When you are ready, that's the right time. To get married sometimes you need to find the best time of the year due to weather consideration, honeymoon plan, etc. But a proposal? I would say anytime!

It depends on your relationship.  My husband told me the first time we went out that he was going to marry me.  He asked me officially 4 months later.

NO, no, and No!  Six months is not long enough to know someone well enough to get married.  I've been dating my b/f for 3 years and we are still not married because we have only lived together for 6 months and we still have to get used to each others quirks.

He obviously understands your feelings, and you understand his, now is there room for both of you to compromise.  Maybe set a date for a few years from now or just get engaged and not set a date yet.  I don't think it would be fair to either of you if only one of you made concessions.  It wounds like you are the one doing it now.  Talk to him about a compromise.

Don't get too over excited, he may or may not propose so don't build all your hopes us, if he does then you will be very surprised.  It does sound like a hint though.

Don't rush him into it.  Give him time.  I'm sure he'll propose soon since you said that you all have discussed marraige.

Six months is definetly too soon. If he really cares about you then all you need to do is tell him that you aren't ready for this because you think it's just to early in the relationship. Tell him that maybe after you've been together like a year and a half, you might move in with him. Don't be afraid to tell him the truth. If he's got a problem with it then he's not worth it. \nJust remember that you are still young and a committment like this is too much. Work on the relationship before taking it to the next level.

If you are talking about proposing marriage, I would say don't do it. You need to be with this girl and spend months together to make sure that it is the right thing to do.\nNow if it is only proposing to be a boyfriend to her, I would say you could easily tell her that you really enjoy the time that you two talk on the phone and would like to know if she would want to be her boyfriend. But I still reccommend that you come face to face with her. I don't know if you live close or not but unless you do, you probably shouldn't expect this relationship to go full bloom.

If you are ready to take the next step and you feel it's right then it's the right time. I'm getting married in November and i know it's the right thing to do. I love him and there is no point in waiting, i'm 25 and my family and friends enjoy his company which made it easier for me to make my decision. If you don't have to change your life to involve the other person but gradually include them, then it's good. Don't think that maybe someone/something better will come along and you might miss out, that's wrong.

This one is a challenge. First I think you might be asking How do you get your boyfriend to propose to you.  The answer, Take a reasonable amount of time to get this answer and allow him the same. Its an excellent idea to find out where his heart is, in the matter. Perhaps without him even knowing  So here.\n\nStep one:\nStart journaling, write down things that he says about love and family try to find out when does he think its an ideal time in life for a man to get married. What you're after here is will he marry you. \n\nIf he does not have lots of money does he think he can get married before making a lot of money.\n\nDoes he love little children? See how he behaves around them does he play with them or avoid them.  This is an obstacle it reveals his level of comfort with getting married now.  My best friend avoided little children - he's still not married.\n\nWould he die for you? spend all his money on you. Sleep out in the rain if you say that how it ought to be - does he love you?\n\nStep two:\nThe journaling and questions that you ask should reveal the answer to will he marry you.  Be sure not to blast him with all these questions at once. its best to recall situations you have previously encountered and be alert to others that occure.\n\nStep Three: \nBe aware of obstacles Which could be,\na) he does not want to get married \nb) not at this time in his life\nc) he requires education\nd) he does not love you \ne) he does not know what he wants\nf) he requires adequate income\ng) he's scared\nh) Other (well, you did not expect I would think of all of them)\n\nStep four:\nDevelope a plan to overcome all the objections that might arise. If he requires education then let him or persuade him it will be ok to marry first however you must overcome his objections.\n\nOnce you know what his answer is on the question (what a place to be in a relatinship)  be sure no obstacle/objections remains. You can suggest that you both get married. At this point there is only one anwer and you already know it.\n\nyou can ofcourse skip all the above and just suggest that you both get married.  Good luck

There's no specific time that one should wait after 6 years of being with the same person.  I would suggest you take time to focus on you for a little while.  Don't be in a big hurry to jump right back into dating.  Use your time now to get your life together and do things that you enjoy.  Mr or Ms Right will come along eventually.

6 years is a pretty long enough time to know whether or not you want to marry someone. I have observed from numerous relationships that guys keep some women dangling; and then they will meet one particular female that they just know right away that she won't be allowed to get away. I think you two need to have a real heart to heart talk, but in person. Long distance relationships are extremely difficult, especially being faithful; emotionally and physically. Be honest, tell each other how you feel.  I wonder if you guys seriously voiced your goals in the begining of your relationship. I'm guessing that you didn't expect to be waiting this long. Don't be afraid of speaking candidly, this is obviously making you uncomfortable as well. Life is way too short. Maybe there is some fear on his part that he hasn't expressed to you, something he thinks he would like to achieve before he settles down. It's good to have plans, but sticking to the exact order of those plans can cause you to miss out on some really great life altering blessings.  Ask him if something happened to you and caused you to not be available to him , if he would regret not taking that step to marriage. Sometimes we don't realize what we have until we no longer have it. Listen to his verbal and non-verbal responses. If you still don't feel confident and satisfied with the decision made you may end up waiting even longer. Are you willing to put your life on hold for someone who may just not be mature enough for that type of commitment any time soon?

I think it depends on the couple. If they have certain things that they really enjoy doing together, 'their things' can be kind of romantic and personally enticing for a proposal. Your man doing something romantic, like including your favorite flower or meal because he remembered that you liked it would be very heartwarming.
