Anyway I think I have made up my mind, I am going to wait until her birthday in August so I can save up some money for a ring and a trip somewhere, plus it gives us time. Thanks guys.

This is a good plan, though a better one would be to wait until August 2013
If you guys are still together by August come back and let us know!
You have already made your decision but I will comment;
Is it too soon ? maybe, maybe not, it isn't that simple.
Are you too young ? Maybe, it depends on your position in life; college, career, living status, are you "ready" to be Dad?
There are loads of things ya'll don't know about each other yet.
Years ago it was very common to be married and have children already at your age.
I don't agree with this. Everyone is different, every circumstance is different too. There are no blanket "rules" for these things.
OP, do what feels right for you and to you.
You don't have to agree with me, the science is there to prove me right
In general, those who marry before the relationship has aged beyond the euphoric brand-new-in-love honeymoon phase often don't make it in the long run.
Time is your friend, especially when you are only 22
And if the love is real and meant to be, it will be. Giving the love time will only enhance it, not ruin it.

There is no hard science on this. Only anecdotes, personal opinions and speculation. Divorce as a phenomenon has not been around long enough to gather stats or conduct hard scientific experiments. Even people who stay married don't always date for an arbitrary amount of time, like 2 years and there are people who do stay married after dating a shorter time. The OP needs to do what feels right to him and his lady, not anybody else.

We will just have to agree to disagree
I stand behind my statement. If couples want their marriage to make it long term, they need to give themselves time to get beyond the honeymoon phase before they say "I do".

It's good to know the fundamental values about each other and experienced an argument or two but not too many.
