It has been six months that my ex dumped me. And I am happy now because I met one guy whom I love. I don't know if this is love or not but one thing I know is that I always think of him and miss him. MOst important thing is that I never think of my ex anymore. What if he is the one, what if he propose..am I really ready to marry? Suddenly I feel afraid because I will be spending with this man in my whole life and I haven't known him fully. I should know him first. But marriage scares me. What if I will be married with the wrong guy? ah..so many negative thoughts are in my mind. I hated my ex because we'd been for six years but never mention to get married now someone mentioned but... i felt a little nervous. I don't know.

Just take your time, bond together as friends first and you will know when the time is right, marriage is a very scary thing because we all keep changing and we have to hope that we change in a way that each other approves of, I hope this man will be the one that will make you happy, love is a wonderful thing when handles in the right way, goodluck Tess, I will follow your progress...

I think there's always more time for courtship as far as the relationship goes, don't rush it. you gotta make sure that this is the right guy for you. but you knowing this man better only you can trust you're own instincts.we can all tell her what she needed to do but i think she is fine on her own

I'm confused, has he proposed or not? If he hasn't, stop worrying so much about what could be. Take your time and enjoy the ride. If you feel he's moving too fast for you then tell him to slow down. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm sure he'll understand. Just let it run its course and then I'm confident that you'll know whether he's the one or not.

Do not haste everything. As you have said, you should know him first. How long have you been together? Try to enjoy first what you have and when the time comes that you think you are ready for marriage, then just do it. Take away your fear and relax.

Hi my friend, what you are feeling now is just natural. You said you have not fully know this new boyfriend of yours. Then, take it easy my friend, before you accept the proposal, better yet to have ample time knowing this person. What I meant when I said ample time here is not necessarily mean six years or so. Even months or a year will do. Believe me, it is not a long span of that time that you could tell that you already know the person. It will just definitely flow naturally and shortly if your partner will cooperate and will not hide anything from you. Be open to each other, have a good communication path and that is it. No need for a couple of years or more to know him better. Be honest to each other. That is the secret of having to get to know each other better. Good luck my friend.

I know how it feels like and i don't want you to make the same mistake i had from the past... the best thing you have to do is to get to know the person well, because even you two have known each other for let say 10 years or so, you still have lots of things to know about him and lots of things you miss about his life. get some time to be with that person and know him some more. Marrying a guy can happen in one day but regrets may take awhile and commitment is not a spoonful of food that we put on our mouth and when we don't like it we just spill it out. Never hate your ex by the way... be thankful that they pass your way, whatever happened from the past is what makes you a better person right now. cheers girl! :)

I can understand you being conflicted about the idea of marriage and proposals after a 6 year relationship ended badly...Good Communication between you and "The One" is probably the main thing that will make the relationship work for you,along with trust and compatibility..be honest with yourself,look back over that relationship that ended,and do what you can with what you learned from the experience to move forward with the new one..and when the time comes,maybe take pre marriage counselling to ensure you both have what you need to take things forward together..good luck when the time comes,but try not to stress and overthink about when it might happen !

Sorry to hear about your ex had done to you. Now you have said that you have found the guy, whom you thought is the one for you. I think six years with your ex BF had not been fruitful because you have not given it a thought.So this new guy is always in your mind, maybe it's love but don't be in rush. If he proposes hang on a bit, learn to know more about the guy first and when the time comes, when you two are destined then it will be done.

One way to avoid a mistake is to see a good marriage counselor for pre-marital counseling before you accept the proposal. A good counselor knows the things that usually destroy a marriage and can find the areas you need to talk about before you get married.

well i think that if that guy will propose you then don't make decision so fast.i mean that neither accept nor reject his proposal in one minute.you should ask him to give you some time so that you can make decision so that you could not reclaim your decision whole life.it is about your life ,first you should know about that guy deeply then decide what to do.
