am i too young to be engaged?

Jesus. Well, if your 16 year old boyfriend has enough money to cough up a ring for you, then I’d say your space cadet romance will flourish since money is an excellent blindfold for reality. But if you’re both living middle class lives and have to grow up to get jobs, you’ll break up by this time next year.

I proposed to my husband (boyfriend at the time) when we were your age, but we were together longer than you guys and now when I look back on it, it was more of a promise proposal than a marriage proposal. But his senior year (he was a grade behind me) he proposed and we got married a month after he graduated, and have been happily married ever since. If you want you can say yes, but honestly I think it is going to be more like a promise than anything, which really isn’t that big of a deal. You can’t get married for a few years anyway. Maybe you should just slow down and enjoy high school together and if you last that long, (after both of you have grown up a little) then think about getting married. That is NOT something you want to rush into!!

Don’t accept. A lot changes from age 15 to age 18. If you two are still in love by the time you’re legally allowed to get married, then that’s another story.

Why can’t you just go steady instead of calling it an engagement? I don’t mean this to be rude, but people are not going to take you seriously and probably even make fun of you for claiming to be engaged at such a young age.

If you are still together when you turn 18, maybe you can reevaluate. But 15 is not the time to be thinking about engagement. Don’t you feel a lot different than when you did when you were 12? More mature, more intelligent, experiencing different things? Well, you are probably going to change a lot in the next 3 years too. Who knows what you will want by then.

Just enjoy high school…join new clubs, meet new people, and make new friends. If you love your boyfriend, stay with him, but develop other parts of your life too!

You still have plenty of time for engagement. For now, just have fun and be young. Give it a couple years.

If I would have married the so called love of my life at 15, it would have been a huge mistake. When I was that age, I thought i was so in love with my boyfriend and that we were going to get married. Well thats just not reality. From the time I was 15 to 21 we both changed so much that we just weren’t compatible anymore. You might say you won’t change now, but you can’t know that. I said the same thing, but it happens. To be honest, you should wait until you are older and have a better idea of who you really are before you get married. I am 23 and have only been out in the real world for a year (I just graduated from college in 27) and I’m finding that theres a lot more to life than I thought there was. You might change a lot in your twenties. Experience life and figure out who you really are before you get married, otherwise you might regret it.

Honey, I don’t think you’re too young to be engaged. I’m 15 and my boyfriend is 16 also. He gave me a promise ring, which is pretty much a “pre-engagement” ring. He wants to wait and get me a really nice ring and propose to me during my senior prom so it’ll be romantic and all my friends will see it happen. And we want to wait to get married until we’re at least part way through college. But me and my boyfriend have been together a lot longer than you and your boyfriend and we haven’t been on and off, we haven’t broke up once. On and off relationships almost never work out. So say yes if you really want to but I would wait a little bit longer if I were you just to see if it will work out. Good luck with everything!

Let me tell you from experience, I was 15 once and thought I was in love and that I would be with my boyfriend for the rest of my life and I was ready to marry him in a second, now looking back I am so glad it didn’t work out. If I would’ve gotten engaged to him I would’ve missed out on so many fun experiences in high school not to mention the love of my life I’m with now. Don’t tie yourself down at 15, you’re still a child and honestly, the chances are slim it’ll work out. Even waiting til you’re a senior, you’re still too young then but if you absolutely insist on getting married then, at least you’ll be out of high school. If the two of you really love each other it won’t hurt you to wait until you’re both a little older. Sorry if I sound mean but marriage is a huge decision and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

don’t you want to get a job and stuff first? what do your parents think? you aren’t even in college, and when you go, what if you find someone that is totally the one? you only know this guy becuz he goes to your school, so think about ALL the other guys out there that might like you even more? getting married at 15 just sounds like a sticky situation, but i can’t tell you what and what not to do. if you really like this guy, and he really likes you, go for it, but remember, you shouldn’t get married just because this is the longest time you’ve been together. you still have been off and on with him. just because this is your longest time together, doesn’t mean you won’t break up again. And if you decide you don’t want to be married in 2 years, do you really want to go through divorce when your 20??

I was engaged at 15 but we broke up a few months later. Since you guys have been off and on, I would definitely wait. You can’t get married right away anyways. As my dad always said to me “you got to play the field and live a little before you settle down.” I know you’re in love but if it’s true love it will wait until you both have jobs and can manage a household.

Do NOT get engaged, get married, or make babies with this guy until you are both out of high school and preferably until you are through with college or launched into a stable career.

No matter how much in love you think you are right now, you are not mature enough to know how you will feel when you finish growing up, which won’t likely happen until sometime in your 20’s. Besides that, neither of your parents can be too happy about you being so serious at this age.

If you get pregnant, there’s no way you guys will be able to support yourselves, finish school, and be responsible parents. Your folks will end up raising the baby & you at the same time.

While I applaud you with at least trying to get things in the proper sequence (getting engaged/married before getting married), the really sensible thing to do is maintain an age-appropriate relationship which means going steady, focusing on high-school activities and your education, etc.

Wait, until you graduate because you said yourself you guys are on and off. It is going to be even a bigger deal when you guys go “on and off again” when your engaged. You guys have been together a long time so I believe you when you say you love him. Plus, kids most often even adults find problems when they have a long time between engagement and the wedding. So just wait becuase kids might also find in weird that you are getting married. Wait until you are a senior, you will be happy you waited and no one will doubt your decision. Personally, I would wait until I had graduated college, had money of my own, and had a career.

Good Luck

Yeah. And either way, you still have to wait 3 years to be legally married. That can’t change. The engagement might be shorter, but the wait won’t be. But none of this is important because you wouldn’t really and truly be engaged. You’re just kids. You’re barely old enough to call each other Boyfriend or Girlfriend.

And why do you know he’s going to ‘propose’ to you? It’s supposed to be a surprise!
