well that escalated quickly...(& in this era, I'd run - he's hiding something...it's a trap!) wait - did you by chance claim you're waiting for marriage? because that would make more sense...in which case, his proposal is fake - don't fall for it...!

You must be really good at something

Dude that's nothing when I got with my ex second day in she told me she wants my kids and demanded I proposed to her

Why everybody keeps saying "run", "say no"? If you like him too, get engaged, that period may last as long as necessary and doesn't put any obligations on any of you, that time is meant to find out if you are compatible or not. Its ok to break an engagement if you don't feel the relationship will work.

Kind of agree. If you're not yet ready, tell him and at least by his reaction you'll be able to tell if he's genuine, dumb or a psycho. Genuine will understand and wait for you. Dumb will break things off or keep pushing. Psycho will go apeshit and threaten you or himself (suicide). Don't let yourself get suckered in by suicide threats. Just break off contact and inform police, they'll sort him out.

Why would you advise someone to get engaged just because you're not willing to break it off yet? Just because I like strawberries doesn't mean I have to accept eating 5 kg of strawberries just because someone offers.

I got engaged quickly. Very quickly. We were going out for 2 months when we moved in together (in a new city 4 hours away from where we were). About a month after that, we got engaged. About 5 months later, we agreed it wasn't working and we separated (just over 2 months ago). I'm now living back in the previous city, while she is living at the house we were sharing. Normally I wouldn't have done any of this so quickly, but everything moved very quickly, even our first date was 3 days straight, going from one place to the next. Things can happen quickly in a relationship, including engagement and subsequent marriage. Sometimes it works, but other times (and in my case, sadly), it falls over.

I get you man, but it's really really rare when things like these actually aren't wrong. mostly they lead to messed up relationships

Lucky!!!! Sounds like a keeper! Sarcastic slow clap ??

A week is nowhere near close enough to know anyone well enough too see if you're willing to spend the rest of your lives together. A vague sense of the person, yes. But maybe he likes clipping his toenails in the bed. Or he pees in the shower. Or he absolutely needs to have dessert even though he's already stuffed. I don't know, people have quirky little traits that you miss easily. Even after knowing a person for years, you probably don't know all of them yet.
