Once someone told me, if you cant say yes right away, then dont marry. The feling is right, but then suddenly accepting his proposal makes you feel uncomfortable... Was there really something to break and think about?

I think if you say "yes" right away, you have to be either this person's best friend and best lover for the longest time, or you're both old enough for marriage. Otherwise, give it a long, long, LONG thought Remember, marriage is a lifelong commitment. Don't think about divorce or annullment. Think about what you can give this person, and what this person can give to you - and what you can do in that marriage. If both you and the person have the same dreams, then the speed of the response to the proposal shouldn't matter. In fact, a guy should be thankful that you thought long and hard about his proposal! It only means that you take him seriously, and that you take your life seriously. On the other hand, if you're uncomfortable about accepting his proposal, pray for guidance. I think that should work:) good luck!

yeah thanks! at first i thought that if you cant just answer yes, then maybe theres something wrong, your feelings, or whatever. Theres a doubt and you shouldn't marry at all.

Hi msBetty. iI have been lucky enough to get one marriage proposal so far. I had accepted it because she is my college friend with whom i studied 5 yrs and have been quite close to each other, though there was no love or feelings enough to get married to her. I was first shocked when she game me the proposal, but then said that i would have to think a bit. Well ya thats indeed right i would say for anyone to do and even what my HR did. Because u were not expecting that and so u need to think and try and see the compatibility level, the future problems that might arrise and then give a reply. I know its hard to hear a no but then not necessarily that the other would think the same way. So we have to accept and move on. Its the prime reason why most of us dont get what or who we want in life. I gad told her a yes later, but then I really have no clue about why she moved out and said there is enough time to get married. I know and believe it to be a diplomatic way to have got rejected to a proposal that i never made.
