18 - 22 are maybe the most formative years of your life, especially if you're in college. The person you will be in 3 or 4 years will be so radically different than the person you are now, and so will she. Wait to see how those two people get along before you rock her finger.
Ok, end of lecture.
My wife and I dated for 2 years, but I knew after the first month. She took a little more convincing. We got engaged and then (and I highly recommend this) I left on tour for 6 months while she planned the wedding. I didn't have to pretend to have an opinion on china patterns for the reception, and she didn't have to pretend to be offended that I didn't care.
I got back into town 6 months later, got married 2 weeks after that, and it's been a pretty damn fantastic 7 years this August.
