my boyfriend proposed?

Question

we r in 11th grade weve been together for 6 yrs SINCE ELEMENTRY GRADES!!!!! i love him but i dont kno if i want to marry yet any advise on if i should or not

Answer 1

Let him know that while you are honored that he wants to marry you and be with you, you are not ready and would like to wait until you are out of college. This will give you both some time to mature and grow. Do not allow someone to force you into a marriage that you do not feel ready for, it is just a recipe for disaster.

Answer 2

Ok, so you're both in grade 11 - that's makes you, what, 16 or 17? It's great that you've been together for 6 years but if your relationship has lasted this long, chances are pretty good that it will still be there in 3-4 years when you're of a slightly more appropriate age to marry. Just tell him that and hopefully he'll respect your wishes to wait.

Answer 3

I would probably say no because most people who get married right out of high school don't make it because as you get out of hs you will change and grow I personally don't think marriage before 21 is good because people go through a stage when they hit that age and if you have not experienced life yet which being in HS you have not then you don't really know what you want yet and you are less likely to be able to stay together after hs is such a different point in your life remember to go with your gut feelings because we have gut feelings for a reason if something is telling you no then listen

Answer 4

Obviously you love each other if you've been together for 6 years but you are very young to be gettin married. Just because he proposed doesn't mean marriage tomorrow. You can stay engaged until you're ready. At least wait until you graduate and know what you're doing after school.

Answer 5

I'm sure you've heard this before but you are so young, I was engaged while in 12 grade had a baby before I turned 21 we never married but he wasn't accepted into the college that I wanted to go to, so I didn't go. I wrapped my life around his & in returned didn't live out my dreams. So my advice is to follow your dreams & if he's still there then its ment to be!

Answer 6

Dont get married yet!!!... Tell him that you love him but you guys are too young to marry. Stay together and plan to get married later. There is plenty of time for the two of you to marry and have a life together, don't rush it.

Answer 7

man you guys are young plus you are all each other has known, my fear is that you both get tired lata or mad that you did not get to experience life. but if you both know in your heart that this is who you want for the rest of your life, go for it. my grandparents did it and stayed married had cheating issues but worked it out. college years were the bestg simply because that is when you truly find you. meeting a variety of people not just in the same town but from all over. if you ready that i guess you ready. besides you can make it a long engagement.

Answer 8

No way, this would be a total disaster. I can't believe that you are even thinking about marriage when you are still in school. You must live your life, go on adventures, have fun and get a good education before these thoughts are even considered. Do not be trapped by this boy. Good luck.

Answer 9

You shouldn't. You're both wayyyy too young for marriage. Neither one of you are ready to support yourselves, much less a family. Both of you go to college, get an education, and prepare for adult life, then get married if you're still together then. If you aren't sure, that's really your answer, because marriage isn't something you go into half way. Best of luck to you.

Answer 10

I don't think people should get married until their late 20s. You really begin to know who you are in your 20s and believe me, you will change a lot in the next 10 years! You shouldn't get married until you know who you are and who is a good fit for you.
