too young to get engaged?

[dreamr802]

I'll be 22 years old next month and sometime around Christmas my boyfriend and I are planning on getting engaged. He's 28, do you think I'm too young to get engaged? I keep getting mixed answers.

Well, I don't ever like to say anyone is too young. My in-laws were married at 18 and they are as happy as ever after 37 years together.

But I can say that I know a lot more in my mid thirties than I did at 22. I shudder to think if I'd married the guy I was with at 22. But that's me. Everyone is different.

I met my husband (boyfriend at the time) when I was 15. On my 16th birthday (6 months later) he proposed to me. We've been together 7 1/2 years total, 8 in January. I was married at 19 and I just celebrated my 4 year wedding anniversary. You're not too young!!

The right age to get engaged at is different for everyone. Why are you concerned about being too young? If you have serious hesitation, then maybe you should wait longer.

honestly, at 25 i cant see myself getting engaged yet..but if u think u are ready emotionally, financially, then go for it..but if you have reservations like prettyinpink said, better rethink ur decision before the invitations fly out.

I got married when I was 21 I have been married for almost 13 years. I don't think it is the age that should be looked at. If you are mature enough then go for it. However, some people just aren't mature enough at that age. They still want to party and what not. However, once you get married you are going to have to include your significant other in every decision you make.

Sorry, but I think it's too young. Why not live a little? Explore, go traveling...if it's true love it's not going anywhere. I am not trying to preach, but you asked... If I were your mother, I would strongly encourage you NOT to do it. I was a different person in my 30's than I was in my 20's. You won't believe the amount of maturing that you will do...
