How long should a couple date before proposing?

The couple decides together.

Depends on their culture, which ideally should be the same.

In mine, the man asks the woman’s father for permission first. Then, he proposes. There is a dowry necessary, too.

It got to a point where I told DH whenever he was ready to propose I'd say yes. He proposed within a year of that talk.

Are you for real? Are your kids teenagers? Adults make their own decisions. Mommy and Daddy are not involved.

Nowadays fathers say “Don’t ask me, ask my daughter. I want her to be happy. Will you promise to make her happy?” .
