We've only been together 4 months, but i've never felt like this about anyone before (and i've had a fair few relationships)I've heard that people have met their true loves when they were teenagers, but i'm scared of people just thinking i'm stupid?Can anyone shed some light on this?!

Yes we have both finished college, you finish college at 18 in the UK.
I wouldn't call myself a minor, i'm 20 in march and under 18 is a minor in the Uk
And i don't live with my parents. i have my own house.
My boyfriend is not my age, he's 24.
I can see where you're all coming from, and i do appreciate your opinion.
When it comes to enjoying my youth, I matured very quickly for my age, and i've done my partying and clubbing and stupid house parties. I chose to save up my money, buy a house, a car have a good job, rather than spending my money on alcohol and girly holidays.
I do intend this to be a long engagement, i'm not getting married until im at least 24. But i've always wanted to marry and have kids young.
My boyfriend wants to propose to me, he says he wants to marry me, and he's really wanting to settle down now. He says that engagement doesn't mean marriage straight away, but we want to prove that we're serious, and that he's willing to spend the rest of his life with me, and that we want to take our relationship to the next level
p.s although we've been dating for 4 months, we've been friends for 4 yrs.

reader, anonymous, writes (27 January 2010): Four months of dating is really soon to be even thinking along those lines. How old is he? I assume you are around the same age, therefore you are both still young, not even 20. Its not about what other people think, but you need to realize that a lot of relationships end after 1,2, 5 yrs. You said "you've had a fair few relationships" but you are 19, how many serious relationships could you have had. Again you've been together 4 months, it sound like a puppy love sort of infatuation. Give it time and let it grow before taking it to the next level. Why rush? you have many yrs of your youth left.
