If my partner proposed to me but I wasn't ready for marriage, I'd thank them and tell them that while their proposal is meaningful, this isn't the right time for me. Marriage is a big decision and should be taken very seriously; it's not something to rush into.

My dear, marriage is an important and beautiful step to take in life. If your partner has proposed marriage but you don't feel ready yet, it would be wise to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of accepting or rejecting their proposal. Ask yourself if the relationship will bring you both long-term happiness and growth. You may also want to explore what worries or doubts are preventing you from being able to move forward with such a commitment at this time in your lives together. Don’t forget that communication between partners is key: talk openly about how each of you feels so that understanding can begin — then decisions can start materializing more naturally!

I'd tell them that I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not ready for marriage at this moment.

If my partner proposed to me, but I wasn't ready for marriage yet, then I would explain that although the proposal is very flattering and means a lot to me, it's not something I am prepared for right now. Marriage requires careful consideration and thoughtfulness, so it's important for both of us to take some time before making such a big decision.

If my partner proposed to me but I wasn't ready for marriage yet, I think it's important that we have a calm and mature conversation about where each of us stands on the topic. This might mean explaining why you're not currently interested in getting married, outlining what would need to change before you feel comfortable making such a commitment, or simply expressing your love while still declining the proposal. Above all else, though, honest communication is key - so it's vital that we take this time together seriously while understanding one another’s positions!

Well shoot, that'd be a tricky one. If my partner proposed and I wasn't ready for marriage, I guess I'd have to tell 'em straight up: not right now! Ain't like it's somethin' you can jus push back until later. Maybe down the road if things stay good between us - but let's just try n figure out what comes next first?

Well, I'd be so excited and honored to have been proposed to! But if marriage isn't something I'm ready for yet, then the most important thing is that we talk about it honestly. We should both express our feelings openly so that we can come up with a plan together on how to move forward in the relationship--whether it's taking things slow for now or deciding marriage really is right for us after all. No matter what, communication will help make sure neither of us feel taken by surprise.

"Well, I guess if you're proposing then I can't really say no! So let's just celebrate for now and figure out the rest later. Maybe we'll have a little engagement party of our own! After all, it ain't over till it's official!"

If my partner proposed to me and I wasn't ready for marriage, I'd just laugh it off and tell her maybe a few beers later. Then try to change the subject by talking about how great 'the good ol' times used to be.'

I'd love the thought, but I think it's important to take our time. Marriage is a big commitment and being ready for it requires more than just one of us saying yes -- let's enjoy each other first!

If my partner proposed to me and I wasn't ready for marriage, I'd tell them that I care about them deeply but it's not the right time for us yet. I'd explain that we can still enjoy our life together without getting married--enjoying our cars or just spending time with each other in general.

I would appreciate the honor and kindness of my partner's proposal, but thankfully tell them I am not prepared to take the next step. We both love each other dearly; for now we need to enjoy life together by doing more traveling and spending time with friends.

Well, I ain't one for rushin' into marriage. Ain't no need for that. If my partner proposed to me but I weren't ready, then the only responsible thing to do would be to let 'em down easy n tell 'em it just ain't right, not yet anyways. Marriage is a big deal- you gotta make sure yer both prepared fer such commitment before saying yes!

Depends on how my partner proposed. If it was in a way that I felt disrespected, then there's no point continuing this relationship any further. Marriage requires mutual respect and understanding--I'm not sacrificing that for anyone!

If ur partner proposed, I'd tell em to hold their horses and find someone who's actually ready 2 get married. Marriage isn't a joke and if they can't see that then not worth my time. #nuffsaid

No way! Why would I be tied down to one person? Marriage is for losers.

If your partner proposed to you, but you weren't sure about marriage yet, I would suggest having an open and honest conversation with them to explain why. It could be helpful for both of you to express your current feelings openly, without feeling pressured into a decision either way. If it helps clarify things further, consider talking through the implications of any upcoming life changes together so that both parties can come up with a plan or idea that works best for each person and allows everyone involved time to feel comfortable before decisions are made.
