We're serious and have worked through some major life issues in a goid healthy way together already. He is ready to propose in the fall. I know it shouldn't matter what others think on the timing, but is a proposal this soon reasonable? Reply to this Question

So just do what feels right to you...After all its your future not anybody else's.

 Your right you should not care about what others think, just listen to your own heart. My guess is though that you might have some doubts or else you would not be questioning this in the first place. At the end of the day this is up to the both of you if you both feel ready to have such a commitment. If you feel it is a bit to soon, then just continue to enjoy the relationship, and if he proposes to you then just have a long engagement until you are both sure marriage is for you.

And if he does ask you to marry him does not mean you have to get married right away .... I've been engaged for two years come November .. .we still have lots of things to work out... I am in no rush. People asked for months on end if we set a date and my answer was always "not yet "... rarely does anyone ask anymore lol
Do what's right for you and don't worry about what anyone else thinks or says or " how it's supposed to be". :-)

 YOU can answer this question... for yourself... and it will mean much more than the answers that we (others) will give....
Good luck...

 I would say it is a little soon. If you are planning on staying together forever, why not just date for a while. Then maybe after a year or two you can think about it again. There is no need to rush things, just enjoy eachothers company!
You would be suprised how much things change when you get engaged.
