You love him. He loves you I assume. Who knows if you two will be together for the rest of your lives. It would be foolish not to find out though right? Young or not, you still experience the same emotions as someone who's lived a full life.

speaking from experience. You are too young!!! Live your life and just take things a day at a time. In 10 years if you are still together, then talk about your future plans. Do not limit your self to just this person. It is better to live life when you are young and be free. I married the first time at 18, 2 weeks out of high school. It lasted 10 years. He was my first boyfriend. SO I missed my youth!
You should be going to movies, traveling, studying, enjoying life. I am not saying you cannot do these things with this person, just do not make commitments at such a young age and miss out on life. If things are meant to be he will be there when you are ready!
Best wishes!
Oh, my mom met the man of her dreams when she was 15 and they shared their lives together. It can work. There are very successful stories also. I jusst would like to see you live a little!!!

u are never to young for love . & it does not matter if u are 80& he is 15. but what does matter is that u both know what u are in for. what socially will be said. plus ur famialy. but the hardest part is looking into ones self. expressing them to each other so there is no lies, wishful thinking. u both have to face the reality of the times. since emotions are [like a colour] how would u explain it to a blind person. u have to take those blinders off & see[or look] what u will want in the future. what happens when u or him get tired of one another. because if u are honest w/ones self u will, u can not help it it is part of being healthy human being. if u use this belief in all aspects of ur life u will find that u will feel better about ones self. the only down side that getting some one else to make the same transition.

My belief is that it's never too young to love, but it's too young to last. Nothing impossible, but... 18 is a bit young to choose a life partner. That's right after graduation, so when you go to college, things'll be harder between you two. I can't say i've ever truly been in love, although i've said it a few times. When you're caught up in the feeling, an indescribable one, sometimes it's mistaken for love. I know i'm babbling and most likely not making sense, but sometimes people become blinded by affection that they can't properly identify whether that is love or merely a strong like.
but yes, it IS possible to love at a young age. Just don't believe in it whole-heartedly. When you're young, things are so... unreal. Young people often don't see the jaded aspects of the world--
hope this helps.

I think its possible for young people to love someone.
BUT, in ten years, you two will be different people with
different goals and interests. Give it time and if
you are together in the future, that will be great. Everything is so lovely and sweet when you're young. It's when you get older that reality sets in and makes you question what's going on. IF you want to be with just him then stick around, but if you're interested in seeing what's out there, then you have the right to do that as well.

Yes- you are too young to decide on a lifetime of something/anything right now. Believe me, I know. Don't do something now that you will have a hard time undoing later. If you have been with this guy for two years and haven't experienced life, you don't want to regret it when you are 30 and have two kids.
Trust me...

Yes. You can love someone at a young age. However, I believe that a person loves different at different stages of their life which are usually defined by age. The older you get, your love may be deeper and concentrate on other things besides looks or superficial stuff.

Young love.... you are probably in love but whether your love can last a lifetime depends on whether you and ur bf have the stamina. Can you two be together without picking a fight? Were you REALLY good friends before you started dating? Do you two make time for your other friendships? Do your families like one another? Consider all this. But I think it would be wise to finish up your education before you make any life-altering decision.

You can't concieve how much your life, tastes, and outlook on life will change throughout your 20's and 30's. And, his will be as dramatic too. It's a big gamble talking about the rest of your life at 18.
I'm not saying it won't work, I'm just saying look more at the big picture.

Yes,I believe so.
Love struck me at a young age of 18yrs and I really went sailing all the way to walking down the aisle of matrimony.From the moment I laid my eyes on my man til this day forward,I never regret I said my "yes" when he asked for my hands for marriage. Blessed with 2sons and still very much in love.:)
