That's really up to each couple. Some date for months before getting married, some for years, and some never marry. It's when it feels right to both people involved.
You expect a universal answer that's different, and gives an exact "right timing"?
It is up to the couple, but I know a lady that has been dating the same guy for nine years, and every year she says and I quote. "If I do not have an engagement ring by "New Years Eve" I am leaving him. She still is not married.
