Question:

15 and already talking about marriage!?

by | earlier

I've been going out with a guy (I'm almost 16) for almost 6 months now and he believes we are soul mates.

Sometimes I feel I would die without him, other times I have my doubts.

Anyway he says the moment we turn 16 he will propose. I really don't know what to say to this, so I just smile. What should I do? I do love him, but I think 16 is waaaaaaaaaaay too early to be engaged.

your right, it is too early to be engaged. you dont even know what you want, and you wont even know YOURSELF fully til much later... a woman doesnt stop developing in mind and body until the age of 22....and the guy is 2 years behind developmentally. SO, you really shouldn't get married. what's the rush? you have so much time to think about it... at least wait until your 21 to get married... ok?

maybe he should give you a promise ring, and if you two are still together in 5 years, then do it.

Don't get married you are too young, people who get married young end up getting divorced in the long run.. if you stay together for years then you can get married.

It is way too early. You're not in love with each other, you're in extreme like. Nobody at 15/16 knows what love really is. If he keeps pressing the marriage issue and won't take no for an answer then I think you should break it off and start looking for someone else.

Yeah, way to early. A lot can happen in two years (when you are an adult). Tell him you are not ready for that. You need to be honest with him.

If you are questioning, you are actually not sure he is the boy you want to marry with.

i went out a guy when i was 15 till i was 20. i thought he was everything, i thought i was gonna marry him, etc... turns out he wernt my soul mate and we wernt suited to each other at all....i can only see it now when ive broke up from him.

its only teenage love, not marriage love.

Absolutely.

That is WAY too early.

At least wait till you two are in college, or out of college so you can actually start a life together.

It'll be more meaningful, too.

You can be engaged for years but dont necessarily have to rush into getting married....at 16 you do know what love is...even though you are young.....but only do this if you are 100% sure and 100% ready.....it seems like your having doubts so have a good think! good luck

way too early!!

when it comes to things like that use your "gut" feelings. your first feelings about something is almost always the right one.

you know this is way too fast. besides, you are only 16, there is so much to do out there that you have not seen or done!

bring him along, but it does not mean you have to be married and serious yet!!

talking about marriage, you only have been with him about 6 months? thats quite too fast.. You should wait for couple of years otherwise, u get engaged then end up seeing his truecolour?, rushing into things not really worth it, You will need to get know him really well, even meet his parents and get him meet yours. When i was younger, I have made fast move like what ur doing, and i realised i have made hugest mistaken in my life after realsing my ex's truecolour after i got engaged lucky i didn't marry him my families never liked him.. so you should just wait countine on ur school work or college works, they are very important for you

You two may be soul mates but it is so stupid to get married at 16. Even if you make a good couple now people change so much in their teens and twenties. When he says it again tell him that you don't think that you two should get married at 16. If you keep smiling he will expect you to say yes when he proposes and saying no (which is the only smart thing to do especially if you have doubts) will break his heart.

Way to young...Just live your life and everything else will fall in place!

Yes, that is early...what about a promise ring?

You should tell him that you both need to take some time to figure things out...

your right tell him you would one day love to get married but you fell way to young!!!

Communication is key to any relationship.

I agree, sixteen is waaay to young to even consider marriage.

Just tell him that you're not comfortable with that idea..

If he really loves you, he will understand.

way way way to early

just say that you could never get engaged until liek after highschool or college (cause i dont know you) and besides i highly doubt his parents would let him propose.

Well i guess it is early,but if you really loved him it wouldn't be,but obviously you don't feel right about it.

Just confront him,tell him how you feel.He should take it well and wait until you are ready,unless he's not worth it and goes off on one.
