She’s Been Dating Her Boyfriend For 9 Months And He Asked Her Over The Phone To Marry Him

A 25-year-old woman originally met her 27-year-old boyfriend when she was an exchange student in Japan.

She does reside in Canada, but while she was in Japan she got close to one of the women in her class.

Then, she got to know this woman’s brother, who is now her boyfriend. Before they began dating, they wound up becoming best friends.

“We were inseparable for all the years I lived there,” she explained. “Me and him started officially dating only when I was about to leave.”

“I’ve been back home for 6 months now, and I miss him A LOT. We still talk every day, but long-distance relationships are hard.”

“He came to visit me last month and we spent the holidays together, but it’s not like we can see each other often.”

“The other day we were talking on the phone and I was literally crying because I miss him, so he asked to marry me.”

When the words came out of his mouth she laughed, but her boyfriend insisted that he wasn’t joking with her at all.

Apparently, he’s known since their very first date that he wanted to end up marrying her, and although they have only been dating for 9 months, he thinks this is the next best step for them.

As for how their marriage would work, her boyfriend suggested that she could move to Japan to be with him, or he also is willing to move to Canada in 2023 after he completes his Master’s Degree.

“I don’t know what to think about it,” she said.

“I really want to say yes, I don’t have any doubt that I want to marry him, I’m just wondering if it’s too soon for something like this.”

“We’ve been together for 9 months, and we were already very close friends for another 2 years. I really want to make a rational decision, I believe it would be too soon to get married if we lived close to each other, but dating in long-distance also seems pointless.”

She does love her boyfriend so much, and he’s an incredible man, but she definitely is looking for opinions on if they’re moving too quickly here by considering marriage after less than a year of officially dating.
