Posted: 7/1/2008 7:10:47 AM | | congrats on meeting a really good guy, but i would say be careful, 14 weeks is a little quick to be considering mariage, you should definitely at least live together for a bit first | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 7:14:04 AM | I normally don't post in the testimonials but this time I just had to do it. So my one big question is.........
Am I the only pessimist here?
You have known someone for a little over 3 months and already you know it is love and not lust? Maybe I could understand this a little better if you were 18, but not at 35. I hope it is a really LLLOOONNGGGG engagement for both your sakes! | |

^^^^^^^^^no, you aren't. I have known people who knew each other a week and were married 40 years and others the marriage didn't last a week. You never know. | |

Am I the only pessimist here?
No. I was with someone a year and a half, proposed, she said yes, then not only broke off the engagement three days later but ended the relationship because she "got scared". We did get back together for about 5 months, but we were never engaged again.
I personally think 14 weeks is way too quick. That's still in the "honeymoon phase" of the relationships (excuse the pun), before the rose colored glasses come off and you really start seeing the true person you are with. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 7:27:37 AM | | I agree out of the desert. I have known people that only dated a few days or weeks and got married and stayed married for many years. I do not believe there is a set time to know. I dated my ex for 2 yrs and lived with him for 2 yrs before I married him. The marriage was from hell. I think its important that both your core values are on the same page and there are no secrets or games. Both have to be willing to put the effort into a good solid relationship. Both have to want it to work. If there are reservations than they should be addressed. But real true head over heals romance /love is great all though rare its wonderful if it works and lasts. I have known people who waited and waited for the other person to make a commitment and wasted so much time waiting. then they get fed up and leave. Why put yourself through that? Life is too short to drag things out for ever. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 9:23:51 PM | Michele, I am glad for you that you have met someone and it looks so great for you. But, please don't rush things too fast. Take some time to get used to each other and really get to know each other better. I know that there have been instances where people did marry in a very short time and lived a very long marriage. My own parents were a couple that married when they met in WWII, knew each other 3 weeks, got married and he shipped out to the South Pacific and she moved from Florida to Oklahoma to live with his parents that she had never met. She was pregnant by the time she came here and they both found out that they really didnot know very much about each other. Life was very hard. But they were very determined to remain married. Divorce was not an acceptible thing in those days as it is today. They remained married until Dad's death after 45 years of marriage and had 6 children and did love each other very much. But there were Mountains of problems to deal with. We only see the good things that the other want us to see in the begining. Please give you both time to really get to know each other.
Best wishes,
Dixie | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 1:16:50 AM | WARNING WARNING WARNING - RED FLAGS FLYING 14 weeks, geesh girl, come on, time to come back to the real world.
ADVICE BIT HERE GIRLS:-
You know when you go on an 'internet meet' you use the basic security, you find a code word to give you mates to help you bail on a bad date.
Well internet marriages are the same, have a code word, for a best mate, or your mother, that if he is not what he seemed, you can say the word openly to your mother/friend/father/brother and they will come rescue you.
Especially if the man is in a hurry, like 14 weeks and rushing up the aisle. RED FLAGS | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 1:48:19 PM | Congratulations, Michelle and Carl!!!
I wish you the best. I met my ex-husband through the newspaper ads (before they had internet dating). We talked for a week on the phone and then we met for dinner. We both knew from that night that we were meant to be together. He proposed after 2 months and we were married 4 months later. We were together for 7 years. I don't regret any of the time we had together. Hopefully, I've learned from the mistakes I made and when I meet that special someone I will cherish the relationship all the more. Good Luck with your future together. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 2:48:38 PM | | There is no boundaries on Love. Love is Love. I can see if you were 14..but for all those who think you have to wait years and years. Do you ever really know anyone. If he asked and you said YES.go for it. you both are on the same page, no head games and do not listen to those who see red flags becasue it has only been three months. My mom and dad eloped after 3 months and are still together 50 years later. | |
