    If you have any doubts then hold off on the proposal. You don't want to rush into a decision like that unless you are 100% sure. You'll know when it's time.

    Go with your gut! Don't let her, or anyone push you into an engagement, or marriage.

    No it isn't normal to be unsure if you're the one proposing. (Just reading the title I thought you meant like surprising someone with a ring and I was like oh yeah sometimes lol). But if you're not sure about her do not get engaged even if she's ready or pressuring you to. You really need to sort out your feelings first. And honestly a year is no time at all. Me and boyfriend first got together 8 years ago, I'm 25, we were long distance but finally moved in together two years ago. We just hit that level of announcing bodily functions and barging in on each other in the bathroom. I'm pregnant now too so I can't really hide things I use to (like gas), but he doesn't care anyway. I think people rush into marriage before fully knowing each other when they really don't have to. Take the time to really get to know her and figure out if she's the one you see yourself loving forever and growing old with.

    When my husband proposed there wasn't a doubt in my mind. I would have said no if there was, even just a little one. There's no real need to get married these days, you can get a mortgage and have kids and be together as long as you like and no one will care that you aren't married.

    Save the proposal for if/when you realise that you don't ever want to be with anyone else, come hell or high water. That's what the marriage bit is about.

    If you’ve only been together a year and you are still unsure, I’d say that’s not unusual. And it’s definately a sign you should NOT get engaged yet. Take the time needed to make this super important life decision.

    I think it’s normal, do I think you should do it if you’re still unsure, no. Much harder to get out of it later than to just wait until you’re sure.
