Sorry if this has been covered or if I seem like a typical guy looking to test out a girl.

I'm 21 and I'll be moving in with my gf (20) in 2 weeks. And all my guy friends seem to think this is the best idea. Try her out, you wouldnt get a car you havent test driven, you never know she might not be good in bed...blah blah blah. I dont need to hear that. I would like to propose to her in March. And I know we're both young and it might seem stupid. But I guess since I was raised by my mom, grandmother and 2 aunts...I'm old fashioned. I know we'll struggle. I know it'll be hard. But if hardships come, I want to face them with her. Seems like everyone I ask doesnt believe in teamwork anymore. So is the idea of asking her to marry me stupid? I dont want to test her out. I already know everything and I'm set.


Thanks a lot

If you really feel that way, don't move in with her until you marry her.

I figured it wouldnt be bad since its right around the corner. The only thing that concerns me about marrying her is the money. I want to be engaged by March. Then hopefully save up for something nice. So she can have that moment you know?

It's not stupid at all.  Romance and chivalry are not outdated concepts.  The early days of a marriage between 2 young people are financially difficult, but also a lot of fun.  I got married young, and we ate a lot of mac n cheese and ramen noodles for a year or so, but we also had the time of our lives.  Good luck to you.  If she is the one, it will all be worth it.

I've been happily living in sin for over four years, but I agree... romance and chivalry are rare but not dead.

Someone posted this in a thread of mine - "Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." Remember that, live by it, and you'll do just fine.

It's not a matter of whether or not it's stupid, it's a matter of whether or not you're ready. Marriage is a huge commitment, not to mention it's not at all as easy as pie. It's hard work!  Make sure you're both ready for the struggle before you make the jump.

Getting married young is hard sometimes. We've been married almost 4 years and I'm 24.
