How long should you wait to get engaged after your friends got engaged?

I did not know that their was a time limit. ==== ==== == You should wait until you are sure that you and your intended fiancée truly enjoy sharing your lives together. You must be able to share the pain along with the pleasure and if you try to avoid the painful issues then you are heading for trouble. You should not make critical decisions in life just because it's the fashionable thing to do. You may just end up on an emotional roller coaster ride to depression.
