I was looking for some advice.... well more like some other points of view. I am in a long distance relationship, I met my boyfriend back in October 2006 but in December he had to return to his country. I managed to see him for almost a month in January when I went down to visit his family but was forced to return home to finish school. We have kept in close contact by phone and internet... lately webcam and mic and I will be returning there in May after school. But the other day he told be has a surprise for me when i return and after much questioning i came to the concussion that he is going to ask me to marry him (it has to do with us, and my reaction will decide our future together). I love him dearly and we have talked about our lives together I just though that we would have more time. To me it doesnt matter if I marry him tomorrow or 5 years from now but many of my close friends and some family are freaking out that i would even consider saying yes. What would you do??

I'm not looking for the if you are asking then you shouldn't. I was only looking to the opinion of others. My best friend and a couple of my family members (not my mom or step father) are trying to talk me out of it. I love my bf friend greatly we have talked out our lives together both marriage and childern for a long time. Im almost finished college, I'm 21 and he is 26, and I am but no means immature like some people my age.

follow your heart, but listen to your brain (or at least your common sense). think long-term. are you guys financially set? ready to devote your lives to each other? ready to (if you both want to) have kids? important questions. if he really loves you, though, he'll respect whatever decision you make and will wait if necessary (though it'll probably kill him).

If you love him than there's nothing wrong in accepting his proposal. My family wasn't all for my marriage either but i did it and am the luckiest girl for doing so. And now my family loves the fact that we're married and adores my husband. If you love him and that's what you want than you should do what's in your heart. If we always listen to other people than in the end everyone will be happy but us. If he's the one for you than go for it. What do you have to lose?

That depends. Are you ready to be married? Where are you at in your life? College? It doesnt hurt to wait and see because October isnt that long ago.

go for it. if i was that much n love with a girl, i'd move to mars if i had too. ur family n friends should understand that u lov this guy deeply. u could always keep contact with them lik u do with ur bf now. if u dont marry him, u'll regret it.

What I would do is just go with what your heart says, which in this case if you truely love him, don't mind what anyone else says, go with what you think is right. So, follow what your heart is saying and marry him when he asks you. =) I wish you two good luck.

If your having to ask.. and having doubts.. the I think you just answered your own question.
Seriously your looking for approval.
If you love him go be with him.. dont ask ..

If you really love him, then say "Yes". Your family can't decide who you marry, plus, its none of their business to decide who you marry.
