Popping the Question?

Written By, Nichelle Walker--theblackurbantimes staff writer

Eva and Lance Gross sat down with RollingOut.com for a Valentines Day shoot. We all know there headed down the aisle soon, and I love these two together. After reading their interview I have to say you go girl to Eva because Lance is truly a brother with the right attitude. His interview made me think of this post. How long does it take for you to pop the question? And I posed this question for men and women, because in my last debate there were a lot of new millennium women who claimed they wouldn’t mind popping the question, so how long does it take?

I feel that it doesn’t take ten years for a man to know that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you.

Lance told Rolling Out

”For Gross, there was no need to play games, since Eva captured his heart from the start. According to the talented “House of Payne” star, Marcille was destined to play a permanent role in his life. “With Eva, I knew early on,” he explains. “I’ve been in a lot of relationships, and men usually know whether or not they want to take that step.”

Now as I read that I thought to myself, why does it take so long for a dude to put a ring on it? Is it because we ladies need to start asking? Or maybe we need to stop giving them so much time to get it right? I know marriage is not for everybody, but I feel Lance when he said this. I believe that a man knows and sometimes he can string you along thinking he’s going to find better. Even though he loves you, it’s something missing and he’s still looking but wants to keep you just in case he doesn’t find it. I’m I wrong?

Lance also gives words of advice to his fellow colleges,

"His words of wisdom to colleagues faced with a similar decision? “If you’ve got someone that you love, get along with, and see yourself with, then you might as well make it official,” Gross states. “Let’s set better examples. You don’t have to have a baby mamma, and all of that drama. If she’s the right one, then make it official and put a ring on her finger.”

So I pose a question to you---how long do you think is long enough to wait for a ring. Me I say three years, what do you think?
