    We were together for 3 years and 8 months when he proposed. :) We were acquaintances for a while before we started dating, but we didn't know each other that well, so I don't really count that.

    I had known him for 4 years but we had only been dating for 1.5. We met at 22 and were WAY too young to even be in a serious relatinship! It was really nice thought that we had known each other for that long because when we finally DID start dating seriously, we already had so many memories.

    We've known each other for a LONG time. We don't remember exactly how long. Lol

    But we were dating for about 2 and a half years when he proposed.

    A little under two years since we started dating, about a year and a half after we moved in together... and about six years after we technically met but didn't talk to each other. :>

    I am going to be the odd ball out and say the hubs and I had only been dating for 7 months before he proposed but I moved to Missouri from Washington (where he was) and I think that rushed things a lot.

    We knew each other throughout college (but didn't really talk until senior year). Became friends soon after graduation and were just friends for about 7 months. Then we dated for 8 months before we got engaged.

    Since 9th grade (for him - 10th for me).  I guess 10 years or so then.  He proposed probably less than year after dating, but officially at a 1 yr and 2 months.
