    Well at least you had the balls to put it on the line. Imagine if it had taken you another 5 years to ask her only to get the same answer?

      I suspect you will come to see it differently in time. Go get drunk or stoned, go sky diving, buy something you cant afford or all of the above.

        Yeah, it would have worked better if she said yes. Does this mean that she's broken up with you, or just that you're going out, but not engaged ?

          Just not engaged. I;m old fashioned, just because she didn't get engaged doesn't mean an amazing foundation isn't there; it just mean's We're not ready to build a house. I love her to death; could be my fault is all. But if you saw her, you would know there is no other choice.

            Already very drunk, she is the best and (I'm sorry but) you don't even know. She is the best, by all standards. No point to explain, thank you for the support.

              Well, I am sure your relationship is based on more than how she looks, but I have no doubt that she's a looker.

              Is it possible that she's hoping for your answer to be something like 'what if I gave up smoking over the next 12 months, and then you'd be 26' ???

                Does that mean you'll be breaking up, or you're just going to wait a while? any way, best of luck, I'm sure you'll get over it soon enough.

                  Chin Up. It will pass; granted no time soon. Keep yourself busy and don't return her calls if she makes any. It may be crude but you will have a hard working through it if you talk more than necessary.

                      You got lucky: dump her and move on: sow some wild oats, enjoy your life: don't get married until you're at least 30, have built a career, have some money behind you and have done all the travelling and womanising you can. Marriage is a wonderful institution... but who wants to live in an institution?

                                I think it's down to the individual. I've never got married, never really wanted to but at the same time I have friends who have married and that's the right thing for them. We all make our choices and hopefully that's the right choice.

                                  25 is too young ? Wow. That really sucks, I am sorry. I've had two girlfriends, and married both . The first asked me, the second told me early on she intended to say yes, so I've never had to deal with asking and not knowing what the answer would be.

                                    I total aggree, there's so much to see and do in your 20s, don't waste and have a total blast. Only after you experienced life you can settle down get married and have a family - you'll appriciate it a whole lot more.

                                      It helps your feelings in the short term. I don't think anyone here (with even half a brain) would expect more, but it is a good immediate solace.

                                        ROTFL !!! This is why I hate buses. Two experiences spring to mind, one was some welfare bums in Donna's family seeing me and Hannah on the bus, ( Han was 4 or 5 ) and coming over to tell us in loud voices how they were no longer a couple, but they live together for convenience and cheapness, and so they both live with their daughter. Everyone on the bus was cringing and staring. The second was a woman complaining about her job so much, and how it was destroying her life, that her friend asked why she didn't look for somthing else. She was with the public service, and was keeping her job for the pension it paid. So she is well paid when she retires and bitches all day about how much she hated her job. 19 is a fair way from 25, but I don't think it's bogan to get married then ( or at all, really ). That's pretty funny tho, that she'll decide on a specific proposal, based on a perception of what people may think. Must be a serious relationship. I can't imagine asking a girl to marry me and being told she was going to think it over. That would suck more than no, I reckon ( because it would surely be 'no', it would at least be a very tentative 'yes' )

                                        Maybe she is wiser than you think... perhaps she recognizes the superficiality of her decision to not marry based on what other people think, so she is waiting until she is older and mature enough to accept ;P

                                          Your first point is fantastic (and I'm surprised nobody else brought it up) but how would getting drunk or stoned help at all? :confused:

                                          Cheers, Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)

                                          It's how a good portion of the "western world" would tend to deal with their problems, so long as it doesn't become a habit, there's no problem. Like Brady said, it's a great short term release, just don't come to rely on it. I'd shoot for drunk in this kind of situation, go out and dance the fandango!
