    I don't think they'd be pissed off. More like creeped out.

    How about waiting another two years? If you really think that you want to spend the rest of your life together, why be so impatient?

    Shackleford's right. If you think you've got something good, wait for it. You don't even really know each other after two weeks, it's still the honeymoon phase.

    If a guy asked me after two week, I proabably break up with him truthfully. I want to be free and have my own space. And it should be that way my whole life to be able to have my own space even when I would get married.

    I see it as being too clingy. I would freak out for sure too. I would want to date him for "at least" a year before marriage.

    Two weeks is too soon. You should wait a few years. In a few years you could learn more about a person than in two weeks. Asking so soon would probably creep The person out.

    Two weeks in, I don't even think you're up to a sexual relationship yet.

      Where does it say that you have to wait 2 weeks before embaking on a sexual relationship. I've never waited that long, but I suppose we are all different and we should do what is right for the individual. xx

  • True love knows no boundaries, dont listen to anyone telling you to wait. You dont want this opportunity to slip through your fingers. Propose and propose NOW. In a public venue preferably to heighten the anxiety and force her hand in saying yes.

    I personally believe in love at first sight despite the fact that it has never happened to me, so in answer to your question if even after a short period you beleive that she is the "ONE" then my advice to just go for it. x

      You don't even know them well enough to know they are the "one". Be patient.

        Fair point but I believe that you can meet someone and know that they are the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, granted it's unusual but it does/can happen. x

          That happens more then you think... Its called the honeymoon stage. I thought I found the one when I was 18, 7 months later it turned out he was an asshole, but he hid it well. Its a gamble, and if you really do love that person and they love you, why not wait, and enjoy the courtship a bit. Whats the rush?

    I don't think its the wisest thing to do, because usually its too early. A lot of times people are still on their best behavior for the first 2-3 weeks. Actually, even the first 2-3 months a person can be on their best behavior.

    My friend proposed to a girl after a week of dating her. Everybody thought it was ridiculous. And sure enough, within a few days later they broke up, and he had to go through a whole mess just to get the ring back.

    Don't move too fast, because you might not really know what you're getting yourself into. You might've not even seen, nor tasted a bit of their true colors yet. Some people can keep an act going for quite a while. You'd be surprised!

    Too soon! That implies you're desperate, needy and is a massive risk to your relationship whether or not they say yes.

    If you think they are 'The One', you can afford to wait because if they feel the same way they won't be going anywhere in a hurry.

    It's not normal to propose after 2 weeks - you're still in the "new love" phase with stars in your eyes. You haven't even had your first fight and you don't even know what your partner is really like, what he or she will do that will piss you off.

    the only exception to this is ... if you've known him or her a LONG time already. Then it's less unusual because you've likely already learned who he or she really is.

    But most marriages i've seen that started off so quickly... ended rather dramatically. only once did i see it work and that was because at the first sign of trouble the couple went to marriage counseling and handled it like adults.

    but... so many couples don't think to do that

    It would piss people off. Not saying it wouldn't work out but it most likely won't if you've only known them for 2 weeks. Look at Kim Kardashian. A lady I met told me she met her husband at a train station and they decided to get married right then. Love at first sight. They ended up staying together too.

    I moved out with my boyfriend after about a year and people didn't like it. We even got a dog and people were even more pissed off haha.

    Two weeks is way too soon! I was with my fiance for three months before she moved in with me (we were not engaged for more than two years after that) and people still thought I was crazy!

    In my opinion 6 months is the right time to propose. Reason being, when you first meet someone you love, the infatuation stage usually lasts about that long. If she accepts your proposal, there is no rush to be married, but you can now get to know her on better terms. You will need to decide when to be married. I would think about 1 to 1 1/2 years since your proposal should suffice.
