Love is different for everyone. Don't let anyone tell you that you are too young to know about love. I also have a boyfriend who I love very much and we both have talked about marriage such as if he ask me exactly at a moment would I accept and I would tell him yes I would. However at my age of 18, turning 19 soon is not the right moment to marry because one, not having a home of our own and second, a job that can pay for the bills and still have some money left to spend.
We told each other, if we're still together in a few years which I truely hope so, then we will marry.

Don't get engaged. Once you start college, or at least get out of HS, the world will be a very different place. The last thing you need when going into the real world is an engagement.
I have been dating my g/f for 3 years now, we are 21 and 20, and engagement is the last thing on both our minds. Yes we love each other very much, but we don't want to be locked into anything. I want Law School, she wants Grad School. We both want successful careers, and we want them before a marriage. At least experience the real world before you get engaged. Wait a few more years. A h/s relationship often means nothing. Yes, many times H/S couples stay together, but you have no experience or perspective. Wait a few more years, go to college, have some fun, meet some people, live w/ some friends and do all that before you get married.
FYI- My g/f's first roomie in school got engaged 1/2 through her frosh year. She dropped out at the end of the school year (wasting 30,000 on a private education), and is now married w/ a kid. She should be a college Junior. Instead she is a stay at home Mom, struggling on her husbands small mechanics salary. If you want that, then go for it, if not, then wait it out.

You are not too young to know about love, but you are too young to get married. Because you are still a teenager you still have some maturing to do. In four years you and your boyfriend will not be the same people you are now. You still have to figure out what you are doing with your life and who you want to be. You don't have enough experience yet to be able to deal with the stressors and hardship of marriage. Of course, there is no time limit on being engaged. So, maybe think about a long engagement.

You are not too young to love someone. However, you are too young to get married. People go through alot of changes between 18 and 30. Wait until your late twenties before thinking about marriage.
Use good birth control and just live with the guy. Don't even think about marriage until you have a college education. You MUST have a career before you settle down.

Of course don't get married. You should slap him and slap yourself for even thinking about ruining your life so early!
How are you going to sleep around with other people if you get married? You're going to miss out on all the fun that these women talk about on these forums. Like having sex with somebody on the first date, or a one night stand, or friends with benefits, and lastly STD's.
Remember, don't think about marriage until you've experienced all this at least once. And then you can think about settleing down when you're 30 and well rounded.

If you really love him, you should marry him. Only if you can take a huge amount of resposibility. From getting a job to taking care of him and paying taxes and owning a house. Are you ready for all of that?

It's silly...you have so much time ahead of you...and chances are you may end up going different ways in college. There's still so much time ahead of you. Don't lock yourself up yet. Leave your options open and if its meant to be it will happen in due time

do what your heart and gut tell you. If you REALLY TRULY feel like you found the person who makes you complete. who makes you feel like everything can be ok. then love is truly there but for how long its going to last, u decide.
