I always bring an engagement ring on a first date just in case.


It seems like that's how half of the posters in this thread roll.

All this time I thought my mixed record in scoring second dates stemmed from my hideous appearance and odious breath but apparently the ladies were just pissed that I never proposed on the spot.

Met on a blind date. After a couple of dates I told my friend I thought he was the one. He asked me at 6 months and I said not yet (I was young and not ready). We dated 2 more years then was engaged for 4 months. We've been married a long time.

Depends on age. The older you get the less of a need for a long courtship. People are just more authentic into their 30's.

We dated 4 years. Got engaged and married a year later.

You're doing it all wrong. It's important on the first date that you make the lady understand that you've got your lives together already mapped out. Women appreciate a man with a plan.

I dated my ex for 4 years. Engaged for 4 months. I dated her for a long time, because I wanted to make sure she was the one. I didn't want to go through a divorce like my parents did. Oh well

First time, four months. That one lasted 14 years. Second one, three weeks. Seventeen years later, we're still good.

I guess that gives credence to the old saying - you think long, you think wrong.

The big ex I had, we dated off and on for 5 years. Squirreled away 7500 for a ring for her and the day after I broke up with her the last time I bought a 6k watch with the money.
Sounds like the guy selling watches made a nice premium off you.
