Question

im 15 and my boyfriend is 16. my boyfriend and i have been together since feburary 23, 2008. and this isnt our 1st time together. we've been on && off since spring break up 7th grade but this is the longest time we've been together. we love each other very much. but he wants to propose to me this saturday since my birthday is like in 2 weeks. we was gonna wait till prom night of our senior year but i guess he wants to do it while we're sophmores. should i say yes or no? i mean i wanna marry him but i dont wanna wait 2 marry him && if he proposes now we gotta wait atleast 3 years but if he does it durin senior year we only gotta wait 3 months. what should i do????

Answer 1

you still have your whole life ahead of you! say no. if you guys have been off and on that prob means something is wrong and your not going to like that when your married. and what about college? im predicting that it will be harder to live your own life when you r married at age 15 and still going through high school.  

Answer 2

This is difficult...

I want to say that you're too young but...if you're not really going to get married until after you graduate (which is the best thing) then why not? Now, if you were to ask me, "am i too young to get married" i'd say Heck yes! that's too young.

It may seem like you guys are going to be together forever but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way...

Answer 3

i am sorry but your a bit to young i no loads of people who say that they shouldn't have married at 22 they wanted more boyfriends and more freedom. but if you really love and wana be with him and you trust him then go on but you do no that if you do get married 3 months its not that much time

(by the way does your parents no?????).

Answer 4

I think it would be weird to be married in school personally. I'd wait 'til senior prom.

No, actually I would wait until after college. But that's just me! Lol!

plz answer me...

Answer 5

Don't do it .....

If anything be engaged for many years so that you can get to know each other as adults, cuz we are all different from ages 14-21. And we all totaly change too. So the person you know and love today, may not be the same tomorrow  Get it?

How about a Promise Ring?

Answer 6

Wait.  The difference between 15 and 20 is greater than the difference between 25 and 35, and bigger than the difference between 30 and 60.

Wait, you are too young for such commitment,

Enjoy your life.

Answer 7

I think you should wait. Get your prioritys straight. Go to school get a degree then get married. Married life isnt fun and your a kid. your not a grown adult if your having fun with him then keep on having fun just be careful and use protection but dont get married. your going to end up pregnant and divorced. this is no joke.. its your life u are what u make of it..your a child remember that! until you turn 21 you are a child! dont rrush

Answer 8

I was engaged at 15 but we broke up a few months later.  Since you guys have been off and on, I would definitely wait.  You can't get married right away anyways.  As my dad always said to me "you got to play the field and live a little before you settle down."  I know you're in love but if it's true love it will wait until you both have jobs and can manage a household.

Answer 9

Uh yes you are too young.  I have two daughters and there is no way.  You have so much to experience and I know "your in love" right?  But you will understand when you get older.  Give it a few years and if you still love each other then fine.

Answer 10

too young...you need to live your life before you make a decision like that. trust me you'll change when you turn 18 and 21...with college and everything that comes with growing up. I've been with my boyfriend since I was 16 and we want to get married, but we're not rushing into it I've been with him for 4 yrs.  

Answer 11

wait till senior year thats when my sister got engaged in her senior year and they are married now 1 year in december so wait to get engaged because if you were on and off before you dont know whats gonna happen and he probly dosent have enough money for a good ring right now

Answer 12

Suicidal Case- your probably high because I FULLY DOUDT your engaged. Anyways, have you people ever heard of high school sweethearts? If you really feel the true love, do it. If your on and off about the decision, just give it some time and wait.

Answer 13

you have your whole life ahead of you dont rush because later in life you'll have temptations, you may grow apart, or find yourself wanting to "test drive" other people. you guys can still be together but just slow down

Answer 14

I only know two sets of people that have been together that long, one couple is happily married, the other is divorced. You can do it.

Like Obama says, Yes We Can.... other than that, don't listen to that drug using maniac... Obama is bad.

Answer 15

wow thats pretty young but i wouldnt suggest getting married because there will be a high chance of divorce which is  evident each time you break up. But it is truly your own choice and you have to ask yourself if you want to be with thiss guy for the rest of your life. that is the most important question

Answer 16

If you have any doubts what so ever don't do it. Plus you're only 15, you'll meet so many more guys and of those many more guys there could be the actual "One". Thirdly, if about 5 months is the LONGEST you've been together there must be something that's not totally right in your relationship and it could only be worse with marriage.

Sorry but I'm with many others and say to wait.

Answer 17

Ok i have to say YES & NO only b/c of reason i am engaged but i got engaged at 21years old and me and my boyfriend wear together for 5 years beffore we got enaged. So in a way you are a little young you got to think about a couple of things is he the one you want to be with for the rest of your life,is he trust worthy?. You know it is really up to you if you are not ready tell him if he really does love you he will spourt your answer!

Answer 18

wait. my sister got married when she was 17. she had to drop out of high school, move with her husband, and they had 2 kids. they ended up getting a divorce 5 or 6 years later, and she has never graduated.not even community college

Answer 19

Seriously? 15 is beyond too young. Go to college, get a job. Is he your first and only boyfriend? Maybe you should wait, try dating other people. Marriage is serious, you are suppose to spend the rest of your life with hi, that's about 80 years. Are you, at this very moment, able to say, without a doubt in you mind, that you are able to commit and spend about 80 years with this guy? At least waiting till you graduate and start college.

Answer 20

I know you love him, but dont make a huge commitment like that..... once you commit to him... its really hard to break that commitment. and marriage is a serious thing...Wait til at least after you graduate and get accepted into college :-) alot of things could happen between now and then :-) Dont rush life :0)  Good luck.. hope this helps!

Answer 21

Jesus. Well, if your 16 year old boyfriend has enough money to cough up a ring for you, then I'd say your space cadet romance will flourish since money is an excellent blindfold for reality. But if you're both living middle class lives and have to grow up to get jobs, you'll break up by this time next year.

Answer 22

you are waaay too young! I know you hate being told what to say but you dont know if you wanna be with this kid for the rest of your life! my gosh what if it doesnt work out! divorce by senior year? Actually I dont think its even legal! just please please wait this out! wait longer than a senior! what you wanna be attached the rest of your life girl? what about college experiments? everyone does it! hahaa..

               please just wait!

Answer 23

you've been dating for what... 6 months? Not even!

You're both children... and you barely know each other. It's noble to not just want to date around, but at your age, engagement isn't for you!

Please do yourself a favor and wait!

Answer 24

Nope I got engaged at 15 too but I was with my fiance alot longer we had been together for almost 2 years and lived together. But just make sure you REALLY REALLY love them! Getting married shouldn't be somthing you will regret later on in life.

Answer 25

Wait, until you graduate because you said yourself you guys are on and off. It is going to be even a bigger deal when you guys go "on and off again" when your engaged. You guys have been together a long time so I believe you when you say you love him. Plus, kids most often even adults find problems when they have a long time between engagement and the wedding. So just wait becuase kids might also find in weird that you are getting married. Wait until you are a senior, you will be happy you waited and no one will doubt your decision. Personally, I would wait until I had graduated college, had money of my own, and had a career.

Good Luck

=)

Answer 26

Your still too young. Just wait. My fiance and I started dating at 14/15, and we're still together. Don't try to rush things. You may think he's the perfect one and your gonna be with him forever, but reguardless you will both change from now til your legally adults.  

Answer 27

Yeah. And either way, you still have to wait 3 years to be legally married. That can't change. The engagement might be shorter, but the wait won't be. But none of this is important because you wouldn't really and truly be engaged. You're just kids. You're barely old enough to call each other Boyfriend or Girlfriend.

And why do you know he's going to 'propose' to you? It's supposed to be a surprise!

Answer 28

Being engaged means pledged to be married.  In some parts of the world babies are pledged to be married. Engaged isn't really the big event.  It's OK for lovers to say they are going to get married.  Things can and do change.  You are not too young for engagement, you may be too young for marriage.    

Answer 29

There's no law that says you can't get engaged that young, but I really think you two should give your relationship- and yourselves- time to grow before making any serious commitments.  Maybe he could give you a promise ring instead?  That's sweet that he loves you enough to propose right now, but love isn't always enough to keep a marriage or engagement together.  Give it time- maybe if he's still serious he can propose to you on your graduation day- from college.

Answer 30

you guys might be perfect together but 3 years to wait is a long time. maybe say yes but you would be kinda young to get married so it a good thing you are waiting a little. do what you hearts says :D ( I am not planning on getting married until about 21)

Answer 31

HAHAHAHA. yes you're too young. and you dont even know if you guys are going to like each other in the future. If you guys are still going out by senior year in high school, you can start thinking about marriage, but for now, dont worry about it. you're ONLY 15. thats ridiculous.
