I overheard my boyfriend talking with his friend about engagement i live with him and been with him for two years. Im 17 18 on 29th august and he is 18. I heard him talking about "Asking" and looking at rings.
I know this could have been about his friend but do you think he might ask me??

i actualy think he may ask you. if he does you should say yes if you know you are right for each other but there isn't any need to rush in to it, you can save for a few years to have the wedding of your dreams!!! I have had three friends that got married @ 21 and they are still together 6 years l8r. Go for it you only live once!!

He could be, but I'd advise a long engagement, don't make the same mistake as me and think that you know best, I should have listened to all the people who said to me not to marry at age 19, you change so much between the ages of 19 and 25 that you may have totally different goals in life by that time, wait til you are settled, working and can support yourself, don't rely on your other half to support you financially (or emotionally). I am not saying everyone who married young is doomed to divorce, but from personal experience marrying young is not a great idea.

Wow that is so exciting!!!!
You could try to drop hint and feel him out. Find away to bring up the subject and see what he has to say about it.
I got married when I was 18 and it was the best thing I ever did. But being married young is hard. marriage takes more work than people think. Everything changes after the wedding even if you already live together. When I was a kid I always thought if we loved each other enough it would work, but it takes so much more than that

Just because you may get engaged at 18 doesnt mean you have to get married straight away, so people need to back off with some of the advice...dont scare the poor girl...Hun listen, you need to think how much you really love this guy, if he propsed to you how would that make you feel?? would you be happy, do you feel like running a mile?? I hope you understand all this...but listen if you really not sure about getting engaged yet but you really love this guy the dont just throw him away, talk to him and if he loves you he will understand!!! :) or maybe if you decide no you dont want to get engaged yet full stop, somehow sooner than later fit it into conversation with him that your not wanting to get engaged at 18 its too young..you get me???

oh my god ppl here can be really condecending my sister was 17 when she got engaged and 18 when married and she is very very happy weddings also take ages to plan so it gives u plenty of time to enjoy bein engaged i hope he is going to aks you if thats what you want if not then make sure u let him down gently as a bad answer could effect the whole relationship if u've been together for 2years and live together then i think u are definately mature enough to make this decision for yourself good luck

He might. If he does have you thought about it seriously. Have you thought about money and children. I don't think your age matters. I have seen people that get married at 18 and stay married forever. I have also seen people get married at 35 and get divorced a year later, so I don't think age matters. BUT age does matter when it comes to your finances. Even if you guys are financially comfortable, are you able to set aside thousands of dollars for a wedding anytime soon. Think about those kinds of things. If you are hoping he will ask you then congrats... if you are hoping he won't then good luck!

Are you C R A Z Y?
Getting engaged at 18...been with him since you were barely out of childhood....a recipe for disaster.
You are both way too young; you both need to experience a few more years of life, at least five, in my opinion, before making a committment like that.

Hon, they could have been talking about a movie for all we know. You're 17 years old. Keep that in mind. I'm not calling you a child, I'm calling you a young adult that needs to experience life and establish yourself first. Enjoy your boyfriend - but make sure he stays just that for now - a boyfriend.

just because he was talking about it doesn't mean he's actually going to do it. people talk about everything under the sun all the time. i remember talking about buying a ring and how to propose with a guy friend--about a girl i wasn't even dating! so basically you can get your hopes up if you want, but don't be upset if you have to wait another 4 years or if you end up breaking up instead.

Don't know but hope for your sake he is not going to ask you. You're only 17 why on earth would you want to get married for? Go out and enjoy your life!
