asking my bf to marry me
Hi
I need some advice here please. Ive been dating my boyfriend since early November. Im 20 and he’s 22.
I want to ask him to marry me (civil partnership), but i’m worried he will think that i’m rushing into it (and no doubt everyone will think I am.)
With all my bf’s, I have never had this feeling for anyone before, and I know its what I want to do.
I have no doubt in my mind, but do you think he will dismiss it as me being silly?
Is it worth the risk in asking him, or do I keep my feelings to myself?
Thank you
Steve.

It's too soon and you're both too young. You've been dating this guy for 3 months? You've got to be kidding.
It all comes down to you being 20 - enjoy your time with him, let things progress a bit more, and then see how you feel. Congratulations on finding someone you want to marry:)
You are far too young. And at the risk of starting another debate a woman should never propose to a man. Especially one under thirty.
Aren't they both blokes?
It's a gay couple. Obvious from the first post.
Correct CrazyChris and I am a tit.
With apologies to the OP - I am now going for a lie down and to have a word with myself.
Far too soon. If you still feel like this guy is the one and only for you in a years time then go for it
Good Heavens!
awwwwww that is so sweet!!
I do agree with other posters though that it's too soon, enjoy the newness of it all and each other. You're so young and have years for all the committment stuff, nothing's going to change, you'll still have him
You can always talk about it in a couple more years, at least after you're living together, that can be the killer sometimes, you have to know you can live with someone else's habits!
You sound really happy so just carry on as you are, I wish you both every happiness x x
Wasn't it obvious from the opening post? You're slipping dear boy!:D
OP I think that you get the message from what people above have said. It is far too soon. I am not so convinced you are necessarily too young as some people are ready for marriage at that age.
However you need to give it time. There's no rush surely!? You can be in a relationship, enjoy where it goes and develops.
As your relationship matures it will get tonnes better than even now and you'll know when it's right rather than questioning it and asking people on a forum.
If he's the one then he's not going to run away just because you've not proposed. But he may well back off by a premature proposal.
It's entirely down to the state of your relationship. Some people get engaged within a week and spend their lives together. Some get married after 10 years and end up divorced months later. Everybody's circumstances are different.
If you know that your bf and you both want the same things out of the relationship then it's the right time. The most telling fact that you might not be quite there yet is that you are asking a bunch of complete strangers a question that nobody here could possibly know the answer to.
I know! Whatever next?!
