My girlfriend (22) and I (F23) have been friends since I was eighteen and moved to the U.S. when she was my neighbor. It’s been almost six years since our friendship, and I’ve been into her for quite a while.

We’ve only been on a few dates, but since we’ve been long-time friends, I trust that this relationship will last. By May or June, we’ll have dated for about 3-4 months (but like I said, I’ve known her for far longer). I’ll be 24 by then, and hopefully she’ll be my fiancée.

Before then, I’m staying at her house for a while to see what it’s like before I move in.

    Congratulations!!! I would recommend a nice long engagement. Love is beautiful so make the engagement commitment. But you will need some more time together before you make a legal commitment. But nothing wrong for being engaged for a while before starting the wedding planning. Best of luck

      I agree. I’m going to try for a year or two of being engaged, maybe more.
