A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Im 16 my boyfriend is 17 we have been together a while now and are very much in love. We are considering moving in together at the start of next year. We were talking last night and he said next time we go shopping he wants me to point out some engagement rings i like as he wants to know what type i like. This kinda shocked me but i was also thrilled by what he'd said.

I know someone else who is engaged to her 17 year old boyfriend. Do you think its too young to be engaged, we wouldnt get married untill we were in our 20's at least. I dont believe im too young to be in love, i feel you can fall in love at any age. But is it the same with engagements?

dont_worry agony aunti believe you are still very young to get married,

yeah maybe you are really in love, but what if you get married and in 4 years its not the same and you want to have fun and date other guys but you cant because you are already a wife with many responsabilities?

my advise: take it easy

move on together, try to see how that goes

and if still after a time you are still very in love and you feel he is the right one

then get marry

but if not

think it twice

good luck3

hlskitten agony auntHi

I moved in with my guy at 16, got engaged at 17, married at 18. Ok it only lasted til i was 21 (my choice) but that was because he was a lazy so n so! So im not a big believer in waiting til whatever age til you 'settle down' I split with him at 21 & spent 9 good years after with someone 10 yrs older & having 2 kids with him. And even though we are split the last 6 years, we still get on great. I still talk now n then with the guy i married at 18 too, hes got a couple of kids now & i get on well with his girlfriend.

If you feel the time is right, go for it. People grow up so much quicker these days!

We werent interested in sex at young ages like people are now, so you lot have lived loads more by 16 than we did.

Good luck.
