What is this? Providing you really get along well and want each other, etc. Guys and Gals both, how long is too short and how long is too long, for you personally, between each landmark stage in a this romantic process?
Be honest people, put some real thought into this. Don't worry about what others say it should be. Tell me what you want to have for yourself. OK?

I once went from meet to marriage to divorce in three years...got married three months after meeting him...
Next, dated for 4 years, got engaged, broke up...got back together...over and over...never brought up getting married again...for another 4 years.
Now...we met online, talked on the phone and email for about three months before meeting, but already knew we were in love by then...we met, made plans, I moved and now we've been together for a year next week and are getting married!
Each situation is different...not waiting didn't work for me and waiting too long didn't work either...but then I was with the wrong person both times. Now...there's no rush, but no stress either. We'll do it when we're ready.

Time frames are irrelevant, when it’s the right one it can be soon or long it doesn’t matter!

I am a very focused woman who knows exactly what she wants in life. As far as romance goes, I want a lifelong partner...I am in no rush to get married, though, and I really have no desire to. I might marry again if I found someone this time around whom I knew really and truly loved me; otherwise, I'd just as soon stay single. As far as timelines go...I don't like to rush..i mean, no way in hell i'd go from "Hello" to "I do" within the first year...but I can usually tell whether or not a relationship has lasting potential from the get-go. I'd say within a year's time is enough to know which way the 'ship is headed, one way or the other.

I think it depends on each person and relationship.
First contact to agreement to meet/date. If they lived in my town....maybe 2 weeks
First meet/date to exclusive relationship. If things were good for both of us....maybe two or three months
From exclusive to marriage proposal. Again depends, for me being older plays into it, I don't want to wait and let life slip me by....maybe a 6 months to a yr
From proposal to walking down the isle. 6 months to a year

I met my ex husband at a party- two weeks later we were living together. Two months later he proposed. One year later we were married. Six years and a child later we were divorced.
Now I take my time....and haven't thought once about getting married again. I think it just depends on what you feel for the person you're with. You know it's right when it's right.

For me, it is just a personal thing - it all depends on the person I'm involved with. If its a sure thing, and there is no doubt in either persons mind, the time between everything could be shorter - honestly, its a question I will only be able to answer once it happens!! Good blog

I don't think there is a timeline. Depends on the people involved. Rushing is almost never a good idea, taking the time to really know someone is important. We live in an "instant gratification" world, and I believe it's detrimental to being healthy.That's been my experience anyway.
