uh oh another chemical mess up

oh well... any case like others said take things slow

you dont want to end up regretting possibly every thing.
hmm after reading it again...
Dont do it this year

wait for a while maybe next summer and if you both are able to get off work for a week or two take a trip together

but dont do anything then (like asking the question) wait for a little while longer. now what you should also look at i not that you like/love her but also if either of you could support each other if one loses a job

if the answer is no then maybe hold off till you know you both have a decent amount of money and or a decent job security

Oh one more thing if you do pop the question make sure you both do a prenup

Why? just in case if anything happens and you two go separate ways after marriage

this will save both of you tons of legal fees and possible what you need to live.
Like she keeps the house you keep the car and get support from her or what ever you two decide if it happens (after the fact, all the prenup does is give you a list of what you get if you to separate)...
