POLL: How old were you when you got engaged?

[AsscherGirl]

Still waiting, but hoping "soon"

.

We met when I was 3 & he was 5 (he & my bro. were BFF in kindegarten!). It''s strange because some of my first memories are of him.

Lost touch from about the time he was in 3rd or 4th grade until high school when when we were both in band together. I was 14, he was 16 at the time. I dated another guy who was totally wrong for me & once we broke up, current boy picked up the pieces and brought me back to reality. We started dating 6 months later when I was 15 & he was 17.

Currently, 22 & 24.

Hello Curlygirl....my next door neighbor.....

I think things do happen a bit different here on the East Coast...especially now....when I got married 9 years ago, the average age to marry then was late 20''s...now looking at my younger sister and her friends, the average age is early 30''s for marriage....

I got married at 28, traveled extensively for 3-4 yrs...got pregnant at gave birth to our 1st daughter at 32 yrs and our 2nd daughter at 36 yr....now I am 37 and DONE with the babies.

My early twenties was all about PARTYING!!!

I think I was at a NYC Club at least 2 times per week....settling down in my early twenties wasn''t even a thought....back then before Sex in the City was even a thought...we were giving the writers something to write about....YOU HAVE GOT TO LOVE NY!

No ring yet, but I think it may be because I''m the "older woman" in my relationship.

We met when he was 23, and I was 26. I''ll be turning 30 on Wednesday, and he will be 27 in April.

I was 23 ~ He said he was 23, but soon found out that he was only 20!

He didn''t think I would go out with him if I knew how old he was! Smart guy...

Hi I''m new

I''m not engaged yet but hoped to be by the end of the year.

I''m Demi to his Ashton....I''m 33, he''s 25. I was skeptical at first but he''s the best boyfriend I''ve had....he''s got his sh*t together more than any guy older than me I''ve dated has. I can''t wait to spend my life with him.

First, keep in mind this was over 20 years ago: The first time I got engaged, I was 19. It was to my high school sweetheart. We had been together for several years, and it seemed like the right next step. He was a couple of years older and starting law school at the time. Thankfully, the relationship did not work out, because I know now it would not have worked in the long run.

I got engaged the second time at 21 to my now-husband of over 19 years. Still very young, but I knew he was THE ONE.
