    I don't think there's a right or wrong time to propose. If you feel it's what you want go for it. There are no hard and fast rules here. If its meant to be it will be... Good luck.

    You know your relationship, if it feels right then do it.
    If my OH proposed that quick though I wouldn't have said yes.
    A year isn't long enough in my opinion.

    Id go with that. I wanted to marry the first 4 girls I went out with, even lived with a couple of girls but I was glad I never asked them to marry me. was only over time that I knew they werent the one.

    then again, I was with wifey for 2 years before proposing, but I really knew after 4-5 months she was "da one". I just waited and waited so I was ultra ultra sure as that was it for life.

    Remember if you do ask, it puts a pressure on to set the date and then the real pressure comes "do I really want to go ahead with it". 6 months isnt long but thats only an opinion.

    We knew within 2 weeks that we wanted to get married but still waited nearly 8 years to get engaged.
    Even now it still seems like a massive deal and we'll be together 10 years by the wedding and living together 8!
