I have been seeing my girlfriend for a little over 3 months, she is great and I am head over heels in love with her. She has a son from a previous relationship who I get along with tremendously (doesn't see his dad), I only met her 5 months ago but I feel like we know each other really well, she's kind, funny, attractive and in all honesty I can't see myself doing any better (or wanting to lol) so I was thinking should I ask her to marry me? I am nervous, apprehensive and excited all at once. Do you think it is to soon, is the fact that I am having doubts at all a bad sign or should I just man up and ask her? And any tips of a romantic way to ask for under 300 pound?! lol

All help appreciated!

I think after you've lived together for at least a year is good timing. Right now, you really don't know her all that well - whatever you think.

Too much, too soon.

Slow it down Romeo. It's a recipe for disaster.

It might be too soon to ask, but it is not too soon to let her know your feelings. An alternative to popping the question could consist of a series of conversations about your mutual feelings about marriage and will allow both of you to gradually see if you are well-suited to marry one another. Honestly, if more people approached the union in that manner we might see fewer divorces later.

You could start by asking her what she is looking for in a partner and what kind of person would she be? Be honest. Then take your time till you've discussed the tough subjects and then come to an agreement on the future of your relationship.

yes too soon to ask. just tell her you hope you have a future together and how much you are enjoying being with her. take it slow and steady being married is about the long haul. you don't want to scare her off

Thanks for the feedback peeps, I think I might do what you suggested ellie. It is a scary prospect popping the question, I am only 22 and half a year ago marriage was the last thing on my mind now I am seriously considering my future! I think my mind might explode lol

Thanks again guys.

In three short months there is no possible way for you to know everything about her that would help you make an intelligent decision. If you want a relationship that lasts, don't be in a hurry, give it a year or longer. Having a child in the mix that is hers complicates things. You have no idea how much trouble a child can cause between two people, and usually it is just a matter of time. Right now everyone, including yourself, is on their best behavior, that will not last. If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and get married. I can almost guarantee you will be sorry you rushed things.
