Well a month before we had our five year anniversary (or whatever girlfriends and boyfriends have), she started really talking about marriage. Like subtle hints here and there. Not just her though, but also my family. They absolutely adore her. My younger sister loves it when she comes around and my parents always look forward to seeing her. 

Same with her parents. Around two weeks ago, I was at her parent's house and out of nowhere her dad just casually mentions that he'd be fine with me marrying his daughter. I'm happy and all. I love my girlfriend a lot and we've supported each other for all these years and I want to have her in my life. We share all the same hobbies and interests.

Unfortunately, I deeply feel that I'm not ready for the next step. I don't know what it is. The idea of binding commitment? I'm not sure. I feel like I'm letting a lot of people down by dragging my feet. What can I do here? Thanks =)
