I have lived with my girlfriend for about 3 years now, and I've given thought to proposing. However, the biggest thing keeping me from doing that is that I wouldn't know when we'd actually get married. I personally don't want a long engagement because, as Billege alluded to, a long engagement strings everyone along without a clear idea of when the marriage will go down. I'll wait until school is done, and jobs have been found before getting engaged.
That said, to each their own. Good luck with your relationship!
