I am 21, he is 20, we have been dating for over two years. I do not want to get married right this instant, we are both in college and supporting ourselves. However, I would like to get engaged sometime soon, even if it had to be for a few years while we finished school and got our careers started. When we talk about this (I tried dropping hints first, then decided to be totally honest with him), he always says "I'm just not ready to get married". I ask him why, so that I can try to understand it, and after a month he finally gave me the reason "I'm just not ready for the responsibility I guess."
We have always been serious, I love him to death and he is a great guy. Like I said, I don't want to get married this instant, that isn't feasible for us, but I don't understand why we couldn't get engaged, if he is as sure as he says he is about wanting to marry me in the future. As much as we talk about it, I always walk away feeling unfulfilled. What should I do?
