As others have stated or implied, time together is less critical than age / life experience. My wife and I dated for a while in our late 20s, broke up, got back together, moved in together and then got engaged. Married at 32. We weren't engaged for all that long (6 mos? don't recall specifically as it has been 19 years) before we got married.

Advice: You are not ready if focused on whether or not time together is the indicator to follow. If you are both ready, it should be apparent to both of you. Also, I suggest not getting engaged with a strategy of locking her up and dragging it out until ready. Get engaged when you are both ready to get married and start planning your life together. If you aren't ready to get married, my advice is don't get engaged.
