bAhAmAmA0250 answered Monday July 19 2004, 11:01 pm: It was the right thing to do but i would have not let him down that way.. you could have asked it to be a promise to get married and that you feel like you guys should just make it a promise instead of a engagement or something-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
xokellyraeox answered Monday July 19 2004, 4:10 pm: Yeah I think that totally was the right thing to do, your young and so is he and you have so much ahead of you, it might just be puppy love but ya never know, but for right now thats the thing to do tell him how you feel and that you think its great but your not ready for that kind of commitment at such a young age [ xokellyraeox's advice column | Ask xokellyraeox A Question ]

Juelz2005 answered Monday July 19 2004, 1:25 pm: well, it depends on what your heart weas telling you. if you guyz are really meant to be he'll get over it. just explain to him your to young to make a commitment like that. or that your not ready to plan your future yet...just let him know that it is not because of him. my friend was dating a guy for 4 months and they became engaged, but she says they did that so fast becasue they both knew it was what they wanted. so, if you are not sure, thats fine, if you are, thats fine to. just dont forget there is a whole world of men out there. he may be the one, he may not be. and whatever you do, dont apologize for how you feel. apologize for hurting him, apologize for "letting him down", but DONT apologize for not being ready or whatever. ok? good luck!

browneyes1014 answered Monday July 19 2004, 11:55 am: I definitly think it was the right thing to do. and don't worry too much about him being sad since u can't do things to make other people happy if you are not sure or ready to do them for you. you should always do what is right for YOU.
Marriage is a huge commitment and should be thought out completely. Personally (i'm near ur age) i've promised my self that since marraige is such a huge commitment i will not say yes unless i'm like 90-95% sure(i'd like to say 100% but there is never a way to be 100 % sure) and if i have the least doubt i would say no.
As i was saying about ur boyfriend maybe u can talk to him and explain why u said no maybe he can understand ur decision then. [ browneyes1014's advice column | Ask browneyes1014 A Question ]
Fish answered Monday July 19 2004, 10:52 am: Yeah it's the right thing to do. You are way to young to even be considering marriage with someone. First off, you haven't been through college or any of that stuff yet which means the real world isn't right at your doorstep- i.e. no big life experiences. Second, you have a lot more to learn about yourself and each other- if you rush something like this now, you'll end up regretting it later. And third, not to say you don't love each other, etc., but sometimes people think they're with the one they're meant to be with forever. And anyway, if you said no to an early marriage, it's not like you wouldn't consider it later on so he doesn't have much of a reason to be sad- it's not like you broke up with him. That said, don't lead him on to thinking one day the two of you WILL actually be getting married. It seems to jinx your relationship. [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]
Mel answered Monday July 19 2004, 10:47 am: Well if he loves you and wants to be with you forever then he'll wait for you. You're not allowed to get married at such a young age as it is; it's illegal (i think; at least in most states it is). so if he loves you he'll wait. simple as that. he might be hurt, but i guarantee he'll get over it pretty quick. you're both 15 -- have fun, don't get tied down YET. wait a while, you'll see it's for the best.

KoTaKiTtAy44 answered Monday July 19 2004, 8:50 am: i think it was because getting married at 15?? thats just too young (in my opinion) and if you really love him..tell him that you will marry him when you both are a little bit older! but dont just say that to make him not sad any more.*hope i helped* <3/Dakota
charmed-cherry21 answered Monday July 19 2004, 8:07 am: Okay you and your boyfriend are to young to be getting married. I think that you should at least finish High-School maybe even college before you get married. Then maybe you will find someone better or maybe your current boyfriend and you are meant to be.
S_C answered Monday July 19 2004, 7:51 am: yes, it was the rite thing to do, maybe if yall are together until your 18 or even outta college, then he asks u that would be perfect, and yall could have a long engagement
see the problem is, your 15 u go thru breakups and all that, you will mature over the years, he mite not, or it mite take 1 of u longer to mature, you could fall out of love by the tyme your adults
you should atleast wait to get married until your an adult, or out of college if ur goin to college
ShOrTnSwEeT42094 answered Monday July 19 2004, 7:28 am: It's definetely the right thing to do!As you said,you're WAY too young to even be thinking about that sort of commitment!!Let him know that you really care about him a lot,and who knows what may happen on down the line,but that right now you guys are SO young!!The idea of it shouldn't even be on your mind!!He should definetely understand!!!

DruidX answered Monday July 19 2004, 6:41 am: Well, the first two times my partner asked me, I said no. The first was cuz I was only 17, and I felt it was to young. He was also a bit sad, but said it was more of a statement of intent that him wanting to get hitched there and then. The second time I said no, becuse again I didn't feel ready.
So I don't think you did the wrong thing, as long as your partner knows that you do care enough about him to marry him one day, but you don't feel you are quite ready yet. Also, I think in the US you can't get married without perental consent untill you are 18. the limit is 16 in the UK.
