Well here is my story my boyfriend is a senior in high school and I am only a freshman... He always say that he wants to get married to me and I want to be with him for the rest of my life too! I love him he is he best boyfriend I have ever had... (and I have had a lot) I love him and he loves me he tells me all the time... I know EVERYTHING about him and vise versa. He said that when he goes off to college he is ganna buy me a promise ring so that when he comes back I will still be his. ( but I will ALWAYS be his) my parents said we r not aloud to day until I turn 17 so I have a year and a half to go. I'm just scared that he is going to fall in love with other people and I don't want that to happen. He says he won't and that he will always be mine... His parents like me but his sister doesn't but what do I care... My parents like him too but they think that 2 and a half years is too much o an age difference what should I do??
Thanks for listening!

First, he isn't "yours." He's not a piece of property. You do not own him.

I would guess that when you say you are not allowed to "day" you mean "date" and it's a typo? (I make them all the time.)

If you DO date or if he DOES buy you a ring after your parents have said no he can be arrested (if your parents go to the Police) for parental interference - and, yes, it's a crime because you are underage.

I think he's going to change a lot in college and will not be the same person when he comes home on breaks. Likewise, you will also change as you go from a Freshman to a Senior - and on to College.

I don't understand the rush to be promised to each other. If you don't date, aren't allowed to date, and how do you know him so well?

I agree if you aren't allowed to date how do you know him so well? But this is the problem with young love. You can't know how true it is unless it survives the test of time.

As Judy said you will both be undergoing changes in the next few years. If your relationship does not survive those changes, then it wasn't meant to be. If it does, then you will be stronger for it.

Agree with both the previous posters.

You are too young to know the reality of life, love, dating and getting married. I know you hate to hear that. But let the time tell. You will both grow up a bit, and since he's elder to you, you will find he's changed a lot in a short time.

2 and half years isn't a big gap, if you both are 20+, but it's quite a gap when you are a teen. Also you are still underage. And as JudyKayTee said, he could be arrested if you date him and/or he gives you a ring.

Just wait it out.
