my boyfriend asked me to marry him but i thought i was under age so i said i cant then he asked to get engaged to me and i dont know what to say
im 15 and hes 16 is it ok or not?
No couple who were dating at 15 and 16 who "got engaged" at that age has ever actually had a successful relationship (that Ive ever heard of or witnessed)
Children, in their desire to see themselves as more adult, often imitate adult behavior. That is what you guys are doing. You want to feel grown up so you imitate making a commitment that you dont actually understand and arent able to relate to.

Just tell him that you could get engaged, but hold off on the 'wedding' until you are both age appropriate.
You can't get married until you are 18 in some states, and even then, it's still young.
But make sure he isnt just kidding around. That's happened before.
hottie411 answered Sunday July 29 2007, 10:43 pm: you're able to get married as young as you want, but you need parents permission to get married, and im sorry hun but i guarantee you that your parents and his parents will not let you two get married.
you also shouldnt get engaged so young, because when youre so young you really dont know what love is.
whats the point of rushing into things when your still so young? just stay with him but dont make any commitments, because what would happen if you got engaged but wanted to break up?
ohSOx3LOVEABLE answered Sunday July 29 2007, 10:40 pm: well..
coming from someone the
same age as you.. i personally
think that getting engaged at 15
is wayy to young..
i mean think about it.. once
your a junior or senior in highschool
theres gonna be a lot more parties and
random hook ups..
if your tied down to an engagment
you might miss out on a lot of fun..
but also.. i guess if you really
love him and dont mind being engaged for three
years then go for it.. i guess the only
solution for this problem is to let your
heart decide what is right for you..
DepthofHeart answered Sunday July 29 2007, 10:23 pm: You can get married at 16, but you need parent consent. If not you would have to wait until you were 18. I would turn him down, sweetheart. You're much to young to get married or even engaged. If you guys really want to be together, then you should wait a few years at least until you're both over 18. Marrige is a big commitment, and you shouldn't take it lightly. There are tons of things to consider before you get married. You don't want to get married and divorce three years later.
I suppose if you truly wanted to be engaged for three years then it's up to you. But I advise you don't. Just because you're not married or engaged doesn't mean you can't be together. Maybe you could just get promise rings or something. It's just like saying 'I want to marry you' without the commitment and pressure... I suppose pressure isn't the right word, but it's the only one I can think of right now. You're still young and you have years to get married. When you do make sure you're 100% sure about it, ready for the commitment and in love.
ImFakingHotPink answered Sunday July 29 2007, 10:14 pm: You should always have respect and sympathy to another persons feelings, especially when someone cares about you enough to propose. But you are much to young, and usually (not to sound like a complete downer) doesn't last long. You should explain to him that you are so young you can't make that commitment yet. If you really love him though, and feel like he is the best guy you have ever met and never have feelings for any other guy then you make that commitment with a promise ring. A promise ring is a ring that means when you are ready for engagement/marriage you want to make that commitment with him. [ ImFakingHotPink's advice column | Ask ImFakingHotPink A Question ]
