Women Expect Partners To Pop The Question After 2 Years 5 Months

Beware boys, women expect you to pop the question two years and five months into a relationship, a study has revealed.

The poll by I Love Natural Cork found that most women start dropping hints and begin window shopping for engagement rings around that time.

The study, which quizzed 2,000 women who were either married or in a long-term relationship, found that those who got engaged around the two and a half year mark were the happiest, explaining that this was the point when they knew if the relationship was working and had come to terms with their partner’s bad habits.

Eight in ten of those questioned said they would always live with someone, for at least a year, before deciding whether they would tie the knot.

According to the survey the Duchess of Cambridge was prepared to wait longer than most, with the majority of women considering eight-and-a-half years 'too long', and one in six admitting to having met someone else while waiting for their other half to pop the question.

Although half of us claim it doesn’t matter who pops the question, in reality, nine in ten women waited for their partners to do so, and one in ten women had already dumped one boyfriend because they waited 'too long' for him to go down on one knee. Three quarters of the women surveyed are still waiting.
