I know I said nine months is not long enough earlier, but there's something to be said for the above way of thinking. If she's the one, she's the one, don't let her get away.


If she is “the” one then she won’t go anywhere. Three years from now maybe but not now. OP isn’t to shite or get off pot place yet.

There’s zero doubt in my mind that I’d be in a much better place with my life today if I’d asked “the one that got away” in my early 20s. Nada. Zilch.


Im not saying you are wrong, but life rarely goes exactly how we expect it. This is just my view on life in general, but I don't think we can look back and say "well, if I would have just did this" because that direction could have steered you in other directions that could have led to something better or worse. That's why you just got to live in the moment.

I missed the one who got away.... However i would strongly recommend getting settled in your career. Going to grad school single, opened a lot of time.

No. If you're asking this group of assholes, you must run.

Nine months isn’t enough time. If you still want to be around each other all the time it’s way too early. We were engaged after a year and that was way too soon. It’s been 12 years and it feels like an eternity. Don’t do it.

we’ve been together for about 9 months now


Lil baw, you had me until this. 9 months isn’t enough time. For comparison, my son is 21. He’s been dating the same girl for 4 years. He’s also waiting on acceptance letters from law school (got in to South Carolina, Oklahoma, and a couple others but holding out for LSU). He’s still not ready to propose. The theory is, if she sticks around through law school then she’s a keeper. Don’t rush young buck.

I’d say have this conversation with her so you’re both on the same page.

Btw we’ve been together for about 9 months now & spend every weekend with each other.


So you have spent roughly 75 days with this 24 year old girl and you are considering proposing? Sure, why not

Am I the only one concerned that this guy is already a teacher, will ultimately be an attorney, and writes like a distracted 8th grader?


No. Which is why I think the law school/attorney thing is probably never gonna come to fruition, whether or not he marries this chick.

If I had to bet either a) one of his parents is an attorney and he thinks this is what they want or b) he doesn't know what he wants to do with his life so he's thinking staying in school until he figures it out is a good idea.

Either would be an awful reason to go to law school, which he will regret.

Do not go law school, especially if you're a straight area christian.

Lawyers beg for GS-8 jobs with the federal government, just with the hope of being a GS-12 in 3-4 years.

and I don’t believe in divorce




Easy to say now. I know 3 guys who said stuff like this and prayed with their sweet girlfriends, got married and found out their angels were getting railed by a) the construction crew remodeling their house b) two of his "friends" c) the third guy still doesn't know who, but he found a lot of sex toys and filming equipment, so the answer to that is floating around online.

It's good that you don't believe in divorce, though.

Won't do much good when they're both poor as shite, and if he does go to law school his net worth is about to be in the red big time.
