Hmmm. I know someone that got engaged today after 8 months of dating

I met a girl and married her 10 months later. That was 24 years ago. Sometimes it works out. Hasn't always been perfect but we're happy.

Thoughts. I disagree with you. Like others have said everybody is different. Maybe you are the kind that has to date for a long time.
I knew I would ask my wife to marry me 4 months after we were dating while dating the entire time long distance. There was no doubt in my mind.
Our goals were to get through college then marry. That's what we did. Now been married 4 years and have a little one. Can't picture it any other way.

I'm of the opinion you should mind your own business.
If you liked the brawd, you shouldn't have gotten friend zoned.
Now is your time to just try and stand in the wedding so you don't have to wait in line for the open bar.

How old are they? It still freaks me out that a large population of people in TN get married from 19-22.

It's different for everyone. One of my best friends married his woman after 2 months, this was 12 years ago and they're still happily married.

To be fair to the OP, I can understand where he is coming from. I can also understand what you, a happily married man, are saying.
The catch is identifying what both you and your SO want. Some people can find a connection very easily and do not really have alot of extra concerns to consider.
However, everyone is different. I am current dating someone right now in a serious relationship. We have been together for awhile (longer than 3 years) . I am not jumping to get married.
1) I dont have my career started yet. I went back to school right after finishing my first degree.
2) I am currently not making any money and I cant provide a basic means of living with a spouse at this time.
I have every intention of marrying her. But you cant base decisions like marriage purely off of emotions.
This is why I understand where the OP is coming from. I have seen so many people rush to get married with ANY idea of how to pay the bills, etc. This seems like common sense, but when people are in love sometimes they make very bad decisions which can cost them the marriage.
I am happy alot of people love their marriage, and more power to you.

Many, many marriages have succeeded through arranged marriages in which neither person knew the other before marriage. Selfishness and unrealistic view of marriage and lack of commitment are bigger problems than not knowing each other well enough.
People get married way too quickly

There is no one right way for all people. There are pros and cons to all decisions. I think a good generalization, though, is to wait until late 20s to get married after having known your significant other for 2 years.
I say this as someone married for 15 years, having married at 23 after knowing my SO for a year.

I think some people just get really lucky in love. Everyone is different.
The wise thing would be to wait until the "honeymoon" phase of the relationship has worn off and you get to see each other's true colors. But some people just throw caution to the wind....and it pays off for them.
I do agree with the other poster that mentioned selfishness and unrealistic expectations of marriage. Those two things will kill a marriage faster than not knowing someone as long as others deem acceptable.

Then the wife, if she's your age, starts facing fertility issues. And if you do have kids, you'll be trying to put them through college and save for retirement at the same time. I'm not saying you should get married young, but there always tradeoffs.

You can know in a few hours/days if a chick is someone you would want to spend your life with.
The real question is are you ready / do you want to commit to someone else forever.
People getting married before they are emotionally and mentally prepared for that commitment is a bigger issue than how many times they have fricked, fought, watched Netflix, gone out to dinner, and done family holidays together.
