Let him know how you feel. You're only 20 and you said you are not ready, so make sure he understands that although you care for him you need to take things slower and get life sorted out. Marriage should never be rushed, in my opinion you are right. Make sure he knows how glad you are to have met his family and that you consider his actions very kind. Just be sure to make sure he doesn't preasure you to do something you are not ready to do. If you explain to him, maybe he will understand and be willing to slow it down a notch or two. Give him a glimmer of hope though, so that he doesn't feel rejected, and continue to discuss the topic in the future in order to move forward in your relationship. I hope this helps.

Well just keep telling him about how much you love him but how you really want to be at LEAST 25 before you get engaged.

Talk about how you want a HUGE engagement ring and not one of the crappy specks of glass that people your age buy for eachother.

Tell him you want to have a good job and a place and live with the person you marry for a couple of years before getting engaged.

Make it clear that who ever you marry will just have to take it slow as you would hate to feel rushed into a commitment.

Good Luck!! xx
