      You can be honest - tell her you are not ready to accept yet.
      If this fails, tell her you don't really want children.

        Very dangerous... as you as there's a ring on her finger she'll be nagging and nagging for a wedding. After all, she'll say, if you plan to marry, why put it off?

        Big Mistake!

            Just for the sex?
            Or something more?
            It hasn't been that long! 2 years is not that long... I'm just not quite ready for that stage in my life and all that marriage pomp and ceremony.

              Why not try the "but things are so great the way they are, I don't want to change anything" line.

              Anyway, 2 years is far too short a relationship to get married.

              On balance, I think the best thing is just to say that you just don't want to get married. Period. Tough if it breaks her heart. In fact if it does upset her then consider it a lucky escape as she's clearly the type who considers her own happiness at the expense of your own. And trust me, that IS a one way ticket to the divorce courts.

                ""A perfect opportunity for you to buy me a ring!" "

                If she is going to propose to you, will she buy her own ring? It's only fair!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  Thank you! Can I quote you? She seems to think it's more than enough time...

                    OK...2 years is perhaps not that long, but be ready for the "where is this relationship going" question!
                    It's Deja-vu all over again!

                      And be ready with the "I don't know, which is what I find so exciting and why I love you so much" answer
