He's lying he's probably waiting for the right moment, at the right time . Like new years eve or valentine day ! So you waited this long I'm sure it will be worth your while ! And have a merry Christmas and a happy new year !

Doesn't seem so bad.

Why is there a myth about us girls dreaming of getting married ? Marriage doesn't change a thing in a relationship, at best it's a financial advantage. :-) (Anyway, you're 100% right.)

Silly girl, he's telling you that so you'll be surprised and won't be expecting it

you are lucky he did this. now you know for sure that he loves you and wants a future with you.

Maybe he's just saying that to throw you off and is really planning on proposing soon. Even if he isn't, I'd say him actually asking your father is a pretty huge step, so even if he doesn't ask you for another year, he isn't going anywhere. I wish you good luck (:

#53 Took the words right out of my mouth. Another year shouldn't be too bad, and her boyfriend has clearly shown that he wants to take another step. Plus, since they've been dating FOUR years, it doesn't really seem like they've been rushing into anything, so why rush to get married? Or in this case since marriage is a step ahead, engaged.

He plans on marrying you so why is it is you say your life's ****** up for? He might want to see how you two handle living together first before taking the plunge with you or might want to just be boyfriend and girlfriend for another year or two. Can't see how it's a fml when it just makes the moment he asks less of a shock.

That's so far away! You've been waiting long enough girl! But at least he's doing the right thing and still asking Daddy. Maybe he's just throwing you off of his trail!

Honestly I'd be happy with that. I would at least be happy knowing he wants to marry just not yet. It's something to look forward to
