Every princess wants to be queen, but only a few are able to take all the responsibility to make it.
So, el_dude, move on to the next princess

When i look back, six months is a good timespan to identify most (essential) troubles in a (blooming) relationship. If you can give it a YES after six months, you can start to aim on the six years area, imho.
EDIT: Forgot to congratulate, AlcoHoDL
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Very true what you're saying. 6 months is a good time to spot most troubles ahead.
Also important is to pass the "live together" test. It's all nice and sweet when you only meet to go out and have fun. Only when you live under the same roof will you know if you can really be together.
Anyways... I think The Dude is a ladies man, so I'm pretty sure he won't have trouble getting another princess soon... If I had a daughter, I'd send her his way... Nice guy, coiner (most importantly), and a guaranteed life of luxury and pleasure...

What more could a girl ask for?
