Too young for a promise ring?

Question

My boyfriend gave me a promise ring yesterday and it was the sweetest thing ever!

I've showed a few of my friends but one of them said that we were too young to be giving eachother a promise ring. we're both 16. I love him more than anything and have almost completely dedicated my life to him, as he did for me. Is my friend right or should I just tell her to shut up?

thnks!

Answer 1

I think its fine I got a promise ring when I was 16 and now I am engaged and soon to be married to the same man. People who say you are too young are just jealous or hurt that their relationship isn't as good as yours, be happy and show it off don't let other people get you down.

Answer 2

Tell her to shut up lol she does not know how you feel and not your are not too young, it is a promise ring not a freakin wedding :)

Answer 3

Promise rings are for very young people, so it sounds like you are of an appropriate age to wear one.  It is likely your commitment to each other won't last but nothing in life is definite; you may very well end up still together when you're both 90.

Answer 4

SOMETIMES friends get angry or secretly jealous when their friends have things that they don't or when their relationships are moving faster than theres. sometimes friends unintentionally like to put thoughts in their friends head to make them upset, hoping that they would break up. think about it. If you have a great boyfriend, and your friend has NO BOYFRIEND, then why would she want to hear about what she doesn't have?

some ppl are just like that

Answer 5

You are too young. It's kind of silly this day in age. The "love of my life" at 16 dumped me at 18 and never talked to me again.  

Answer 6

Well, promise rings are for highschoolers, so you seem to fit the age bracket!

Answer 7

YOUR FRIEND IS TOTALLY WRONG :)

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT AGE YOU ARE !!!

IF YOUR IN LOVE THERES NOTHING / NOONE THAT CAN STOP IT

I THINK THATS REALLY SWEET & ROMANTIC TO .

YOUR FRIEND IS PROBALLY ACUALLY JEALOUS.

ANYWAYS GOOD LUCKKK <3

Answer 8

I don't believe in promise rings like that...they just seem kind of useless...why not wait for the REAL ring.

Answer 9

You friend might be just jealous. It is the business of you two, the boyfriend and girlfriend. Too bad your friend is not excited for you. I am.

Answer 10

  I see nothing wrong with the promise ring ,you are young , don't make promises you are unable to keep , make sure that your friend know this is not a ring of owner ship or possession .

Answer 11

shes wrong but u dont have to tell her anything

u couldbe at least13 or older or even younger

age doesnt matter.

Answer 12

Its only a ring.  I would agree though, take it slow! And rethink the fact that you said you dedicated you're life to him,  I have been with my boyfriend since I was 14 so I know what its like to be in love at 16 years old, but you shouldn't dedicate your life to him, always remember school, girlfriends, and family!

Answer 13

Your friend just doesn't understand the relationship between you and your boyfriend. In all it is just a ring, but sometimes people do find the person they are meant to be with at a young age. I was introduced to my soon to be husband in the fifth grade. Even though we dated for 4 years and I moved we still found each other a year ago and we have been together ever since. Everyone Finds their soul mate when they are meant to find them. Take it slow and don't rush into anything with out fully thinking about it first. And Remember if it doesn't work out then it was meant to be. Like i said It is just a ring. Good luck and don't mind what your friends are saying.  

Answer 14

If you're really in love then you should just dive in and enjoy every minute of it. No regrets, just do what you feel is right.

Just a warning that as you get older you may grow apart. Both of you are bound to change, especially once you graduate and go off to college.  

Answer 15

I don't know about too young. BUT be wary of your love.

This are ALWAYS great when you both live at home and mom and dad pay the bills and your car and stuff. DON'T get married until you've BOTH experienced the world of money (taxes, paying rent, insurance, car note, grocery, etc)
