writes:I need some advice about my relationship and whether or not we're ready to be engaged. I have a great relationship with my boyfriend of two years now. We are compatible in almost every way, same interests, passions, life goals and incomes! Currently we've been living together for a little over a year and I've been contemplating taking the next step. We're both 22 so I realize that we're a little young, but it seems like a lot of our friends are getting married and I've read that that's how you know it's time... We dont have any big relationship problems, the biggest of which would probably be his use of video games (ha!). We do have some life problems though that arent so related to each other. He's not very happy with his job, I'm looking for a more long term career. We're having trouble affording our rent because we live in a very high rent part of the country (1400+ for 2 bedroom) so a move is imminent. We've been discussing moving back in with one of our parents to save some money for our first house/condo and we hope to be ready for that within a year or so. Our incomes are sufficient, together we take home about 60k a year and we're both just now finishing up school. I don't feel that I put enough information out there to get any solid advice; but if anyone wants to reply I'm happy to put some more out there. Thanks!

I wouldn't rush into proposing. The fact that you're asking for advice says to me that you're not really sure the time is right.
It sounds like you need to sort out your finances so you can get a nice home together first.
After you've got that sorted then you can think about proposing.
You'll know when the time is right!
Good luck with everything, you sound like a lovely couple. xx

As a 28 year old male that just got out of a three year relationship because I didn't propose... I have a suggestion, listen to her, if she wants to get married, do it unless you don't think she is "the one".
