Getting engaged? Bad Idea?

    I've been with my girlfriend for a while....and everytime we talk, the conversation goes to marriage. She says I'm her "one" and I believe that she is my one. The answer to this would seem logical if we were in our 20's you know, but I'm only 17 and she's 16. But it's like we know we want to be married, and we know how much we love each other, and we know we're gonan be together forever....so would it be a good Idea to propose sometime soon, or should i wait till we're out of school? Please helo

    getting engaged isnt a bad idea if youve been dating a whiel and feel liek its gonna last long term marriage wise then propose.JUst cause your engaged doenst mean you have to get married right away it just shows a promise that you will get married so be engaged until your both older and ready to take that step in life. good luck

    I suggest waiting, if she loves you she will understand.

    i agree with taylor

    you guys are still young at the moment and while it might seem that you guys will never be apart and are 'made for each other,' the world is so much bigger and i can guarantee there's someone else out there for you after you've explored your surroundings more.
    plus, do you really want to be married in your late teens while the rest of your friends are going out to clubs?
    its your choice though. i'd personally rather want to experience the single life for a while.

    I don't think engagements mean much unless you actually have a wedding date or at least an approximate date planned in the near future.

    Well sure you can purpose, but legally I think you'd have to wait until you guys graduate depending on where you live, here my mum says over 18 or something like that. But before you "pop" the question keep thinking about it and explore it. Is she the one? Because if she really isn't then you can't take it back after your married without any regrets (hurting her, ect and so on). Is she your first love? If she is then yes, you feel like she is the one...like you both want to be together...but from what I've seen thats just being love struck. And usually first loves don't last that long, sometimes they do... If you need any further advice/help then feel free to contact me:
