Should I pop the question?

Hiya all, this is my first post so take it easy on me and please keep any discrimination or narrow minded responses to yourselves!

Right lol...here we go.

I am considering asking my girlfriend to marry me but personally think I am too young being almost 21. I am very mature for my age and my partner is a couple of years older than I am. I am a well traveled qualified professional and have had so many previous partners I cannot remember them all. (I am not bragging I feel this information is relevant as many relationships end because one or the other would like to see what else is out there)

I have been with my partner for around 3 and a half years now and lived with her for 2 and a half of those years, a year and half at my parents and a year in our own apartment.

I have recently finished university and have moved 120 miles away from my home town and partner for work.

When I found this job initially I did not want to ask her to move as her family are all down there and I had planned to live with my manager for a little while until I got on my feet financially.

I am now (2 months later) living in a house share where she would be able to move up to me if she found a job, she has asked me to look around for her and see what is available.

We have been in daily contact without fail and I have just spent almost 2 weeks back down there with her as I had some time off to graduate from University etc.

She says her worry is that I will find someone else up here or go off her because of the distance but I KNOW this is not going to happen.

She knows stuff about me that nobody else in the world knows, things I would have thought would end a relationship she has simply accepted readily.

One example of this is me being bisexual, how many females out there feel they could stay with a guy that had told them this?

I know I could spend the rest of my life with this woman and I am hoping that by proposing her anxieties about me meeting someone else or losing interest would be relieved and that she would actively seek to move to be with me.

I have been looking and would propose to her in the eiffel tower restaurant in paris sometime towards the end of november / beginning of december.


Does anyone agree and think I am too young or do you think I should go with what my heart is saying and trust that this girl is my soul mate?

I have always considered being engaged / married at such an age a sign of immaturity and fairly 'schoolboy' but I really do believe this would be a positive move considering my position and feelings.

Any guidance or opinion would be much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

anonymous
