Bingo. I don't see the upside. Let it ride. Women often change on a dime, generally after the words "I do" are spoken. It seems you are not hankering for children, and historically that has been why we have marriage. Your sex life could go out the window in a heat beat. What purpose is there to marriage at this point in your life?

You likely face a cultural divide and that chasm can be large. There are a whole lot of ways to treat a lady right that does not involve marriage. If she grows insistent and demands you take her off he market and stamp your brand on her, then that then is a choice for you to make at that time.

By the way, I respect the institution of marriage. But it is not a one size fits all entity.

I agree that there is no rush. If you were meant to be together, you will still feel like proposing 6 months or a year from now.

Also, if she's 35 years old, she's a woman, not a girl anymore.

No it's not too soon. With you two, your age, your history and cultural proclivities, no it's not too soon. It will be fine and you'll live happily ever after. I think it's a beautiful story about how it's never too late to find love if you have never had it in before in life.

If it feels right go for it. Not like you guys are 20 years old. Both old enough to know what you want. Why wait?
