    Hi

    I may have posted something about my girlfriend in the pass in this section, after getting to know her more and more I feel she's my sole mate, my best friend.


    I'm going out with her just over 6 months now and we are going to the states next year, I plan to pop the question in NY I've an idea on where and when,


    Can I ask is it too early to pop the question, by the time I do ask it will be over a year, I know she'll say yes and trust me she will


    and she doesn't get on too well with her dad but her mother is her life do I talk to her mother before I go to the states ie after christmas etc.. we plan to go in march




    any advice would be greatful

    thanks

    Mark

    Personally I feel six months is too soon to know that about someone, but each to their own.

    And I don't really think any one can answer if you should talk to her mother or not. Lol if any guy told my mother she would call me immediately, she wouldn't be able to keep that kind of secret.

    Do you think your girlfriend would find that romantic? Would she like her mother knowing before she knows? Would she be upset that she wasn't the one to tell her mother she was engaged?

    I know I'd rather tell my mum myself if anyone ever proposed.

    Have you lived together with her for those 6 months? I think it might be a bit early indeed if you haven't been really together for a good while. But whatever floats your boats...

    On the asking the mother question: Don't do it. Your gf is her own person, asking the parents is both old-fashioned and disrespectful to the gf. You can inform the parents/the mother directly afterwards but I wouldn't 'ask for their permission'.
