I am all for love but both of you are too young to be thinking about marriage or even getting engaged. You may think you know what love is but you don't. You guys are only 16 and 17 yrs old. You have a lot of living and growing up to do before you make a decision like this. Your way too young in my perspective. If your boyfriend really loves you then he'll wait until your at least 18 to propose and thats the same for you too.

yes - you are too young. I know you feel in love with that person now, but there is a lot of life you have not experienced yet. Also you will change in the next few years, everything from your maturity, personality, life goals. Enjoy dating for now, and if you are still together by the time you are halfway through college then consider getting engaged. But i think you will find as time goes on, new desires in life, that will be different from where you are now.
Speaking from experience, as i felt a similar feeling when i was your age, if i was to have married the girl i was with then, it would have been a big mistake for me and her. We still talk and still care about each other today, though we have not been together for many years, but we both have changed so much from how we were then, that we would have ended up getting a divorce if we did marry. There is plenty of time to be married, enjoy life for right now and don't worry about that yet.

YES!!!!
Honey, you've still got to go to college. You'll met a BUNCH of people at college. You may think that you and your bf are meant to be together, but what you may not realize is that there's someone out there even BETTER for you.
Take your time. You're still young; don't rush into anything. If I had gotten engaged when I was 16 or 17, I'd either be divorced or married to a cheating drunk loser.
Don't rush into anything. Consider all your options before you make a serious decision like that.

I have friends that felt the same way when we were all younger. The guy bought her a promise, for her 18th birthday. Then at 21 an engagement ring. They married married at 25. It has been 10 years of marriage, and they are the couple that others envy for their relationship.
It can be done, just be smart about it. Dont jump into something till you have really thought it through. If you both feel that you have a future together, then you have a long time to prepare for that future, with out any worries.

you guys can get engaged if you want. but just wait a few years to get married. you guys are soooo young, you haven't even experienced life out of high school! if your going to college, there are so many opportunities to go out and have fun with friends and meet new people. dont ruin your life getting married young. its not worth it. before you know you will be 18 with a kid, stuck at home while all of your friends are clubbing every night. enjoy your youth!!! you may think your in love but its probably puppy love. i felt the same at your age. i didnt even know what love felt like until i was 23. i can totally see the difference between the puppy love i had when i was 16, and the love i feel now. let your mind grow up a little more.

yes, there is a big world out there, finish school and see what college is like, and then if you both still love each other just as much or more, then get engaged, I am 26 and just got engaged at 25 and have two more years before the wedding, I have been seeing my fiance for over five years, see what the other person is like for long term to make sure, as one of the others said a promise ring is good, or a class ring.

Well I don't guess that love comes at a certain age. Just don't rush into anything and be take a look at your future because you are still young. When I was in high school when people were in love but not sure if they were ready to get married the guy usually bought a "promise ring"(go to walmart or a jewerly store and you will see them they are beautiful little rings) and the girl promised to remain his untill they were 100 percent ready to move on to the next level. Good Luck!!

Yes, you're too young to get engaged. Neither one of you are fully mature yet. Both of you need to stop & think of what your personal dreams & goals are. What are you wanting to do for a living, are you wanting to travel, is there college in the picture, & where are you wanting to live? These are some big questions that you each need to ask yourselves. I've known kids that have gotten engaged & married in high school who are now divorced. A promise to each other is fine. You haven't experienced enough of that big world out there & what it has in store for the both of you to decide now to get engaged.
