Hello I am miss cupcake and I am currently a waiting bee. I have become so frustrated with waiting I have started asking my married friends how long they waited and I have found those who did not live together seemed to wait for shorter periods so now I am doing a study for college on the matter. I had already posted a poll on this subject but for some reason it was not showing of the options you could pick so now I am just asking people post weather they lived together first and how long they dated before the engagement. I need the data for my statistics class so please post.
We lived together before we got engaged. We were dating just over 2 years when we moved in, and he proposed 2 months after that!
Started dating in Dec '07
Moved in together June '09
Proposal Oct '10 (although he started getting the ring custom made in June '10 and the whole thing took way longer than expected).
Not to assume too much on the subject, but age and financial stability might be a factor too - but it's just an idea.
No.
Granted, we were engaged rather quickly, but I can say with confidence that I would've been happy waiting much longer for a proposal provided we didn't share a residence.
We dated for 2.5 years before he proposed, and I probably won't move in until the wedding, unless I get a kick ass job before then :).
We dated for 1.5 years before moving in together; we lived together for almost 2 years before getting engaged.
There was a great article in Time magazine a couple weeks ago about a recent study on marriage. Some of the information included statistics on living together before marriage that might help with your paper.
Yes, we lived together before getting engaged. Dated for 3 yrs before getting engaged,
Started dating - Sept 06'
Moved in together - May 08'
Engaged - Oct 09'
we dated in high school, broke up during college, and got back together when i was in grad school. we had to do one year long distance while he finished in the air force, moved in together, and were engaged a year later. money was definitely a factor for us, though, or it would have been much quicker. good luck! :)

Yes, we lived together for 4 months in college, out of necessity when his apartment was determined to be an illegal unit and he was forced out. Then we lived separately for another 3 years, and bought our house together two weeks before we got engaged.

Started Dating Nov 2008
Moved in together June 2009 (6 month anniversary)
Proposed June 2010
Getting married June 2011
I think we progressed well in our relationship. We did the LDR from Nov-June before moving in together. We did only live about 2 hours apart, but he transferred to another college in June , and that made us 5 hours apart, so we decided we would move here together. We knew we were going to get married, but waited to propose till June 2010, because of family, and we are waiting to get married June 2011, because we graduate in May 2011.
dated 2002- 2004. Moved in together 2004. Engaged 2009 getting married July 2011.
Your statistics are in a vacuum without age demographics included;)

Dated for 3 years, then moved in together and were engaged about a year after moving in together.
Started dating in Nov 08...moved in together around Jan 09 (I know it seems WAY too soon, but it was SO right!)...got engaged May 10.
I commented on the other post but I'll play! Yes, we did live together before getting engaged. We've been together for 5 1/2 years and we moved into our first apartment about 6 months after we started dating. We were engaged in June of this year. By the time our wedding rolls around next October we will have been together for 6 1/2 years.
No, we did not live together before hand. We dated for 4 1/2 years before we were engaged.

Yes.
Met November 2006
Moved in together April 2009

Going to be married October 2011
We dated for 6 1/2 years prior to getting engaged.
1 1/2 of those we were both in college (bi coastal during summers, me in CA him in NY)
1 year of long distance (me still in college in NC, him in NYC)
1 year of living apart in the same city (NYC)
3 years of living together (2 different apartments)
We did a lot of growing up in that time. I was 19 when we started dating and 26 when we got engaged. Having multiple stages of our relationship (college, long distance, professional but living apart, living together, upgrading apartment and adopting a pet) really cemented our relationship.
We were committed to each other and talking about "forever" after a year of dating. But we took our time getting established in our careers and settled in NYC before getting engaged.
No, we didn't live together and won't live together until we're married. We dated for eight years before he proposed.
We dated for 5 and a half years before moving in together and buying a house. We got engaged 1 year later and we are getting married 1 year after that.
No, we haven't lived together. We dated for about a year and a half, got engaged, and will be married/move in together after about 2 1/2 years together.
Nope. We've lived apart for about 2 years of our 3 years together, and we lived in separate apartments the first year of our relationship.
Good Luck with your class!
We moved in together after we were engaged, although that's not specifically why we waited.

Moved in July 08 (after living with his parents for 3 months b/c I was between houses. THAT was a treat!)

(will be) Married Oct '11
Yes, we lived together before getting engaged.
We had been dating for 2 years and 11 months when he proposed, and living together for 4 of those months.
started dating: Nov 2005
moved in together: Sept 2007
engaged: Jan 2010
I kinda think you'll need additional information in order for this to be helpful.
Started dating - January of 2006
Moved in together - July of 2007 (still in college)
Got engaged - September of 2009
Got married - August 2010
Us living together had nothing to do with how long it took him to propose. We both wanted to be financially independent and have lived together for several years before getting engaged and it was just the right time for us.
we started dating in may 2008
moved in together in may 2009 (we pretty much lived together already at my parents house)
engaged may 2010
