I am 19 years old, my boyfriend is 24. We have been dating a little over a year, we met when I was 18. I am totally in love, and as each month goes by, I just fall in love with him more and more. He is very good to me, sweet, always surprises me with gifts for no reason, and trusting..just to name a few things. We have our small arguments sometimes, but nothing too bad. Anyway, this past xmas weekend, he started asking me about getting engaged/get married in a few years, after I graduate college (about 2 years). I love that idea, but because he is my first "real" boyfriend, people (family mostly) say that I need to date more and not get serious with my bf because I need to know whats out there. I feel like he is the best there is and I can see myself being happy with him forever. Am I crazy to actually think that our relationship can work out for the long run? Am I too young to know what real love is? I dont think I am?

No you are not too young. In fact, one of my dear friends has been married 24 years & was married at 19! You are one of those rare people who finds the love of your life early, but don't expect everyone to understand! Just go on your way & leave then with a smile. No one has the right to critise you-not every one has to date 35 men first. You sound like the lucky one!

If you don't think you are, then you aren't. Some people find love sooner than others. I'm 19 and my HUSBAND is 22. We met when I was 15. We broke up one time for a little over a year but then got back together because we both knew we couldn't live without the other. Good luck!

I am in a similar situation, I'm 19 and dating a wonderful guy for about a year. He hasn't asked me to marry him but I've thought about our future He's my first real boyfriend and I'm worried that I'm too young to know what love is. I'm worried that I could meet someone that I will fall twice as hard for in the future. But then again, what if this is it? The love of my life? I'm waiting for an answer with you.

Hun the best way to find this out is to listen to your heart..You have told us how wonderful he makes you feel and how thoughtful he is...I personally dont see nothing wrong with becoming engaged for the two years while in school...Sometimes parents think when their children start to think of marriage then nothing else happens for them..My daughter married her husband within one year of knowing him and he is an excellent husband and father to their daughter..They will be married for 3 yrs this next March..Just follow your heart..If you love him as much as I think you do,,then be engaged ..Love works in mysterious ways ...Follow your heart ok..May the Good Lord keep you both in the palm of His hands...God bless you

You do what feels right for you and don't listen to the so-called experts. My cousin and his wife met in highschool,got married when they were 17 and have been happily married for almost 30 years now. You don't have to know what else is out there. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I know. I've been there, done that. Follow your heart and do what you feel is right.

properly, he continues to be youthful too. you ought to be exceptionally optimistic approximately youself, yet a guy nonetheless variations lots between his 18 and 23. properly... so does a woman. in case you the two complete your examine, that is ideal, yet lots can ensue in universities. i will get exhilaration from your youthful love, and your questioning approximately marriage. in simple terms bear in concepts you have the opportunities against you, the two one in each and every of you. attempt residing collectively untill you the two ended your examine. that's the main suitable suggestion for now i think. ultimately, marriage is barely a paper, yet can become a foul one if ever it is going the incorrect way. you have a protracted existence forward ;-) good success!
