I had later found out that he started looking at rings after 11 months(he was showing his sister rings he picked out) but he couldn't afford what he wanted to gets, so he waited :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-date-so-before-getting-engaged/page/2#post-606822 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:59:17 +0000 Mrsjets 606822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 years...but I was 17 when we first started dating in high school. We moved in together after a year and focused on school/careers and then on houses (we flipped 2). It wasn't until we wanted kids that we thought we should make it formal. Funny condidering how meaningful our marriage is to me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-date-so-before-getting-engaged/page/2#post-606799 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:51:28 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 606799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a year and a half, then 6 months engaged.

Our engagement was 15 months. I think we combined with our age and 'just knowing' had a lot to do with the quick engagement. I didn't expect it that soon...was kind of thinking he'd pop the question around the 1 year mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-date-so-before-getting-engaged/page/2#post-606679 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:07:04 +0000 Sophia 606679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: exact same for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-date-so-before-getting-engaged/page/2#post-606677 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:06:48 +0000 Sophia 606677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever, lol!
