Hello! I am a new LIW. A little about myself: I am 21 years old and the man that I am with is 22. We have been together for a little over 6 months. I know its a short time, but when you know, you know! Both of us have been in long relationships previously. I have been previously engaged, in the summer of 2009, which ended shortly after.
We are both currently college students. I am graduating in May of this year with my BFA in Graphic Design and the man I am with is just starting his second semester in school for Engineering. He is foreign born, and has only lived in the US for a little under 2 years. Yes he has his green card and does not need me to become a citizen. This isn't even a possibility anymore because of US law does not allow citizenship to be gained by marriage anymore anyways. He was born in Morocco and lived there until he was 18. When he turned 18 he moved to france and lived there for two years before moving to the US. We have talked about marriage and about getting engaged when we can afford it. He is a great guy, very sincere, family oriented and wants the same things out of life that I do. I really can't wait to be married to him.
We have started to browse the internet for rings. As this will be my second engagement, I already have some ideas. My first fiance was very controlling. He said I could pick out whatever ring I wanted, but when it came down to it, he did not like anything I picked out. He had made a custom ring that he picked out and designed, so not my taste and style. This time around I am hoping to get a say in the ring that I will forever wear!

and more family-oriented than the Americans I've dated. And in my case (and apparently yours!) not commitment-phobic!
