I'm looking for some insight into a new relationship. I've been single for 6 months after a 3.5 year on again, off again relationship with a hard to get along with, issue laden partner. Over the last 6 months I've been introduced to several girls but no one that turned my crank.

I've met a girl a about 3 weeks ago. We've spent alot of time getting to know one another and have been out 4 or 5 times. We've been intimate once. From what I've seen so far she is very cool and has the right type of personality for me. I've been married once and have had two other long term relatonships. She has been maried once and left a long term last June as well. From those experinces I've learned what I want in a partner in terms of her outlook on life, freinds, family etc. She seems to fit the bill.

So, how long should one wait before getting serious? I'm in no hurry, but dragged my last few out to the point they left! I'm thinking if after 12 months all seems well, it's a good time to get engaged and/or start talking about buying a place together?

I only want to do this one more time, so I want to be sure!

Thoughts? Thanks!
