I feel funny being the only male to comment, but if it helps, look at it this way:
(discalimer: this is story is about a YU / UWS couple, so it may not apply to everyone, but the point is relevant)
Pesach 1995, one of my friends was dating someone, and unsure of where things were going, and to further complicate things, someone else who he DID want to date, ahd just come available. By Summer 1995 he was dating girl # 2, but it was also stalled.
By Nov. 1995 he was married to girl # 2.
Point is, 7 months before his wedding, he had not even dated his wife. Once things click, they start steamrolling fast. In fact, there is every likelyhood you might get engaged before this thread is closed! (And be sure to post the good news on the CR)
