When I first met my boyfriend I was the same age as you are now. We've been together now nearly 3 years and live together and he and I both know we want to be together for the rest of our lives. We just couldn't bear to be without each other now!
We're taught from a young age that love is something that can't happen until you are older but the fact is it's merely rare, not impossible.
The only word of advice I can give is not to give up too easily. So many couples break up these days because things get tough and they give up. Because you're still quite young you will have a LOT to face with each other and you need to stay strong through it. Like it or not, you still have growing up to do and I expect he has as well. So just be careful not to let things get to you too much and to make sure you work through them as carefully as you can. Don't worry, if you really love each other, you'll be just fine.

Talk to him about it if you want. But honestly, a teenage guy doesn't have marriage on his mind. [ schlichtinator's advice column | Ask schlichtinator A Question ]
isis answered Saturday April 15 2006, 11:56 am: He could well be 'the one'. Only you can decide. You did wait to go out with him and still wanted to. Give it some more time if you're not sure. I met my husband when I was 19 and we've now been married for nearly 26 years, I fell for him the moment I saw him and have never changed my mind, so it can work. Go with how you feel and see how things turn out, just don't rush into anything, you're still young. Hope that helps. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

deathwillcome answered Saturday April 15 2006, 11:12 am: Nobody can tell you that he isn't the one. You are seventeen, you never know. Just becuase you know that he is the guy, that should be enough. If you feel that he is right, suck it up, and do your best to keep it that way. Your mom was a smart person...just remember that even if he isn't the one, your guy is out there somewhere....okay? I hope that I helped, and remember that my ibox is always poen. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice. Thanks! [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]
