I'm waiting......

How long should a woman wait for a guy to propose? A year, two years, five years? I know this couple who dated for 11 years and then finally decided to get married, what took so long? I believe if you have been with a person for at least two years, then you should know by then if that is the person you want to spend your life with; if you can't without a doubt say yes this is the person I want, then perhaps it's time to say adios to that relationship. Why continue to string someone along, the longer you stay, the worse it''ll be.

I know there are those out there who claim to not see the value in getting married, especially if he/she lives with her/his significant other. They feel like it's just a piece of paper. Well if it's just a piece of paper, why are you so scared to get it? Women generally are in love with the idea of being married, we don't want to be your girlfriend forever. That just doesn't have the sound of longevity to it.

My boyfriend and I have had a few arguments about getting married. He claims he want to marry me but financially he doesn't feel like this is a good time. That's logical but to a woman it sounds like you're making excuses. I no longer want girlfriend status. I want to be wifey. I no longer want to play house, I want to get married and buy a house. I'm not enthralled with the idea of having a wedding, I'd be fine with the justice of the peace. I don't need all the pomp and circumstance, I just need the man. Once we feel as if we have found the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with, we no longer want to wait to make that fact known to the world. Keeping a woman waiting can be disastrous to a man, we will only wait so long. So while you're trying to decide if she's the one or if you can afford to marry her, don't be surprised if some other guy comes along and steals her away. As easy as it is to fall in love, it's just as easy to fall out of love. Time waits for no man.
