"Men and women are completely different in their thinking. Women know that they can get engaged, and the engagement can last 2 or more years before even getting married. BUT, men think that an engagement is the actual marriage--they think that popping that question automatically means they're married..."

Anyways...so my bf asked me if I was wanting to get engaged. That he's perfectly fine with getting engaged, but he doesn't want to actually get married for another 2 years (when we graduate college).

Is that weird? For us to be talking about getting engaged? I don't want to be asked the question just because he thinks its what I want.....I want him to ask because its something we BOTH want.

A lot of couples talk about it, it's not just you.

How long have you been together? How old are you?

---

We've been together nearly 2 years.

I'm 20, he's 21.

We love each other. He's been honest with me from the start...and we're each others best friend. I honestly believe that he and I are going to last. I don't think we're going to fall apart. We've already had so many talks with each other--even on the topic of cheating. Neither of us are that type, especially not to the one we love.

well... i don't think you should just be like "hey, lets get engaged"

maybe he will think about it and bring it up himself?

OH sorry, i thought you were younger and had this page open for a really long time and didn't read the other ones.

I hope. If it ever happens, I want it to be because he thought about it and wanted it...not because I mentioned it to him. And I don't really want a "planned" engagement.
