How Soon is Too Soon to Get Engaged?
It’s been announced that middle Kardashian sister Kim is now engaged to beau Kris Humphries of New Jersey Nets fame. The couple has been dating for a whopping six months (which actually is whopping in comparison to sister Khloe’s nine-day wedding plans) and Humphries surprised Kim with a 20.5-karat ring. Pretty standard, right?
I know nothing should surprise me since all Hollywood engagements seem inexplicably extravagant, but I’ve had frozen meat for longer than they’ve been dating, and I’ve got body parts smaller than that rock! As an avid E!-enthusiast (Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Khloe & Lamar), Kim is portrayed as the one who is always looking for a man and comparing herself to her coupled-up sisters. I don’t doubt that Kim and Humphries are in love (though it bothers me that his name is spelled the same as her mother’s…), but it just seems a little premature and rushed.
Eonline reported some of Kim’s family’s reactions to the engagement, which were all super-excited to put it mildly. Sister Khloe tweeted, “”Kimmie I love you so much!!!! I would do anything in the world for you!!! Seeing you this happy in your life makes me smile daily! You deserve this happiness! Get excited baby!!!!! We r about2 celebrate!! 
Kris welcome 2the fam! Just so u know, u married all of us!”
The sentiment of seeing Kim happier than ever is definitely something I can get behind, as is the notion that Kris just married into the whole Kardashian clan (ummm, good luck!). I do sincerely wish them a lifetime of happiness, and can’t wait to see a close-up image of her ring. Read more on [Eonline.com], and tell us how soon is too soon to be engaged below:

GIRL TALK TIME: What do you think of Kim Kardashian’s engagement? How soon is too soon to be engaged? What do you think of how big her ring is? We love us some bling (especially JLO’s Glitterati package) but we can’t even imagine a rock that large!

6mnths to a year I feel is to soon. What is the big rush to get engaged n get married. Marriage is a lot of work n if u rush into it n then realized after u r married that u dont love that person or want to be in a marriage with that person it gets hard for everyone.
haha
I think too many people don’t realize marriage is work. they are lazy. Hence the 51% divorce rate in the U.S. Its a shame really…
i’d definitely say at least a year….it does mean something…
it something to consider over time but when you both arfe on the same page and it feels right then go for it
If it’s the right guy, then there wouldn’t be any questions if it’s too soon.
I’ve been w/ my boyfriend for 6 months and we started talking about getting married about 2 months into our relationship. Granted it helps that we also dated about 13 years ago but, I knew as soon as I saw him this time around I wasn’t letting go. He is my best friend and someday soon, my husband!
Has anyone noticed that his hands are HUGE?!?
I personally can’t wait to get married, the reason why I say that it’s because I know the question is coming soon ladies and gentlemen! I don’t thin it’s too soon to be engaged.
Hopefully this relationship lasts and isn’t a statistic like the rest of the Hollywood marriages.
it usually takes 2 yrs to get sick of someone…..after that it is work
I think every situation is different. When you are with someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with you can spend 6 months with that person and end up getting divorced or spend 4 years with that person and end up in the same situation. Life takes many turns and we can’t predict the future. I’ve been married twice and this second marriage worked only because making it work. Love, trust, honesty, and hard work at it. Marriage is not easy.
I agree! If people are committed to making it work they could do so after a 4 yr or 4 month relationship.
I give it less than a year before they get divorced. Let’s see if they even get married.
That ring is too big.
Real Love can’t be measure with length of time. If it happens it happens
. I also say does anyone REALLY know their partners after being with them for years?
Her ring is so DAMN big it looks so DAMN heavy for her finger…That ring is huge. Wee let’s keep in mind her sister got engage in like 2 month….Love is LOVE.
Gargh. WHY do people even have the need to be married? It’s just a very big party and a piece of paper. Everything else stays the same. I don’t get it.
I feel the same way. It’s just a piece of paper.
kT being married is not all about a party or drinks to some that paper is a lot as so is the benefits you get after “death do us part” One day you will know what I mean by that.
Hmm. I still think being married means something! Do you ladies agree with KT? KT, are you married? What hasn’t changed…?
I agree with Cait also. It’s knowing that you can absolutely rely on someone 100%, and that they’ve made a commitment to stand by your side. Sure you can say you’d do that in your relationships, but once you make the commitment in front of family & friends, I think it means so much more.
Cait I do agree with you. Being married is something.
i think 6 months is too soon. i don’t mean to sound all pessimistic and jinx it but watch them break up shortly after
i think when you, you know. a true romantic.
