No wI know Im proably to young to even consider this but Ive been thinking about it for a while and Im just curious what people on here think. Ive been going out with this great girl for a few months now. And an extra thing is we have known each other for 3 years. We are very close to each other and know each other very well. We both belive this will last a very long time if not foever. Now we are both 17 and graduating next year and plan to try and stay close to each other or even share an appartment together. Now what I have been thinking about. Would it be to soon to purpose to her the night of are senoir prom next year? I figure that if we can last that long together with sign of faulter it would be a good assumption to make that we will be together longer. What do you all think? Good idea or to soon?

TOO SOON!
I was engaged at 18 and married just a few months before i turned 20.
From your perspective, the future is bright, and you cannot see any reason why you two would break up. and that it good for that time period.
here are a few things to keep in mind
1. you never know what life is going to hand you
2. both of you *WILL* go through changes of perspective as you live your life
3. what you want out of life now will VASTLY change in the next 10 years.
4. it would be a better idea to wait until you are each in your mid-twenties to make an adult, informed decision.

I know that you do not want to hear this - but you are too young to be engaged!!!!!! Teenage love is the best love in the world because it feels so great but when reality kicks in, you are going to realize that there are things that you will be missing out on. If you both truly love each other - time will not destroy the relationship. Wait, go slow, go to school, experience life - do it together become the best of friends and later get engaged and get married. Don't rush your life. Very few people that get married in their teens stayed married. Yes, there are some people that do - but very few. I wish you both good luck and I hope it works for you.

Please wait. I know I used to say that age doesnt matter if you really love someone but it does. Just wait until you both have the opportunity to see everything in life. You love her and you more than likely want to see everything with her but trust me and take it from someone who knows. My husband who I would have been married to a year on july 21st.... just told me that he regretted marrying so soon without having the opportunity to see and experience life first. So, I guess its something that you can only decide but if the both of you get married make sure you guys sign a prenup... it gets messy if things dont work out. Good luck and treat her right!

Big mistake.
The amount of growth people make between 17 and 25 is huge and you will not have the same wants and needs. Enjoy this time because in 10 years everything will look different to you

Well, even though you've known each other for 3 years, you still don't really "know" each other as far as dating or whatever. You really need to wait in my opinion. Maybe give her a promise ring or something. I wouldn't propose, because chances are she may accept just from being in the moment.
Make it special later in your lives. You're only 17. Trust me, you don't want to get married that early, it only makes it that much tougher to survive the marriage. Good luck.

Too soon. There's a lot of life ahead for both of you. Both of you are going to know a lot of new people in college. Wait until then and if you are still together and love each other, then propose.

If you two are both serious as you say you are it would basically seal the deal. Go for it, I mean most people just get laid on senior Prom makes yours special and purpose.

NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! You shouldnt even be thinking about marriage yet. You have plenty of time for that. Slow down and enjoy your youth. It gets gone in a flash!
