too young?
| Thu, 06-17-2004 - 2:18pm |
Hi my name is Diane..I'm new here..and I have had questions on my mind about my relationship for some time...I'm only 17, but i have a boyfriend (also 17) and we are both entering our senior year in high school. We have been dating for 1 year and 6 months..neither of us were looking for a long term relationship. well we are both in love(or what we think is love)...we respect each other, enjoy each others company, have so much fun together..he is my best friend and we have a very good relationship..we even plan on living together in the future(he tells me he wants to take care of me) but my question is, are we too young? to be in love? to be thinking about a future together? I am afraid that this will cause us a troubled future. Also, I am confused on what to do after high school, when I go to college, if my 'youth' won't be as fun with a serious boyfriend..I am not the party girl type(I am still a virgin) so I think I can manage, but I just need some advice from experienced women on what to do or what to think about. Is this just another "highschool sweetheart" or is this real??? PLEASE help. sorry it's so long..Thank you for reading and giving me your time..

Only one person can answer whether or not he's the one for you--you. It sounds like you have your head on straight, you're not having sex and not complicating things. I know both types of people: Those who have been with their high school or college sweethearts and those who need to explore the field. It's all up to you really. The fact that you're asking makes me think that maybe you want to explore? If that's the case, then you have to take a look at that.
To me, the grass can always be greener on the other side. Yes, you're young. Yes, this is your first love. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing... And it doesn't mean you'll find something better out there.
My advice? Take your time, get to know you better and keep getting to know him. And see if he is what you want in the end... And trust yourself.
I hope this helps. Keep us posted.
Let me tell you why people discourage "young love"
