Family, friends, coworkers... even a comedian scoped us out in the audience, asked how long we've been together, and then tried to get him to propose to me during the show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-lot-of-questions-about-getting-engaged-while-you-were-dating#post-1466704 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:56:49 +0000 Elderberrygin 1466704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were together five years before getting engaged and got questions all. The. Time. When my SO started a new job after we were together about four years he just started referring to me as his wife to forestall the constant questions. There was a fair bit of confusion when he finally announced our engagement after referring to me as his wife for a year and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-lot-of-questions-about-getting-engaged-while-you-were-dating#post-1466697 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:55:31 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1466697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a lot of questions and we only dated for 2.5 yrs before we got engaged. We also got a lot of questions (from his friends) about when were we going to have kids before we got engaged.

Her friends and family can't stop asking about it! :-( "Why didn't he propose?!" </p> <p>I did get questions about it but it didn't really bother me because we weren't dating that long before our engagement. </p>
