that is, before you and dh became engaged.
I'll go first.
For us, once we started "dating," it was 6 months.
But 11 months from when we first met & became friends.

We "dated" for 5 months before we got engaged. We had been dating about 2 months when we started talking about marriage.

About 5 months before we got engaged. We talked marriage right from the start of that, the night that my DH officially asked me to date him.
We had been friends for about 2 years up until then, although our friendship had been changing (growing closer) in the months leading up to dating.

We met on my birthday my freshman year of college, began courting about a year later and were engaged about 3 years after that. It's a little 'mushy' on the dates b/c we were good friends before we were "official"... so we talk about the time we were "dating, but not dating" - LOL!

Well. It would have been sooner but I freaked dh out with something I said and I believe that postponed it. ): We knew within a couple of weeks. But we instantly went from being at the same college to being 8 hours apart when he didn't return to school after the holidays. I then graduated at the end of the spring semester and went to Venezuela for the summer. I then came back to my hometown and he had moved there....and we were engaged. (: |

7.5 months. But we knew we were planning on getting married for certain by 3 months. Just didn't get officially engaged until after he finally met my parents.
We were friends for 3 years before we started dating. I knew I was going to marry him for more than a year before we started dating as well.
