*shrugs* end of the day its all up to him. You suggest wait, I
suggest go. Becoz when I see how much joy I provided to my wife, I
think its all worth it.
Either way, we only live life once, and must make sure that life
was lived meaningfully. That includes bringing the gal you love to
you, and giving her the love and care that you know you can
provide.
Gals are usually soft-hearted. I don't think there is any so-called
ready period that you talked about. I put up my experience, and you
shot it down as if you know the world, so why don't you talk about
your own reasons of your beliefs instead? Are you talking about
concepts and principles, or are you talking about your own
experience?
To me, you sound as if you are talking ideals and principles, and
not about practicality 
So what is ready?
What is freshly broken?
How long should he wait?
You remind me of people who have never started a business before.
People who don't dare touch business say you must have the right
product, right capital, right timing, right people, right ....
before you can start and succeed. Do you know that by the time you
get the right product, right capital, right... and want to start,
the window of opportunity would have already passed?
Pardon my bluntness, but your talk about READY reminds me of a
sucker (loser) I know who waited for the gal he loves to be ready
before he tells her he loves her, and ended up she got into a
relationship with another guy who dared to try. And if this is what
you want TS to be (a sucker), then I rest my case
