You should wait if that is what he truly wants, because if he really loves it won't matter as long as you do get married! That or you should tell him you want a sortive long engagement so you can hurry and marry him asap when he gets out of school!Serious Advice on getting Engaged?

A multi-year engagement seems hollow to many people... how ';engaged'; can you be if you're not going to get married for another 3, 4, or more years.





Guys, especially, who feel like they have to be the providers in the relationship, often feel like they have to be able to provide even before they are able to propose -- sort of have their affairs in order.





Or he may feel that a lot happens between the time a guy's out of school and now... and he may not be absoultely positive.





Or he may not be able to afford a quality, large ring, and would feel really bad about it.





Or he may be afraid that you're going to start planning the wedding, and he's not ready to think about that yet.





Or he may not want to get married.





Just talk to him about it. Or at least allay his fears that you don't need a big engagement ring (at least I hope you don't) and that you wouldn't want to get married until well after he's out of schoool, and you're not gonna start planning the wedding this minute.
thats a good question, my gf and I are 20 both going on 21 this year, I am working full time and she is in school, we too have been together for 2 years and i was thinking about proposing to her too... to me, getting engaged isn't really much more than your relationship right now, but to me, getting engaged just tells one another that you are willing to commit the rest of your life to the one you love and there is nothing wrong with getting engaged while in school if he doesn't have a problem with commitment I wish you the best of luck!
don't let it get to you. he probably doesnt want to get married or engaged right now to have more time for you and getting enagaged would be too much along with school and work. So i wouldn't worry about it.
