Me and my boy friend have been dating for 3 almost 4 months. i really love him and i know he loves me. its long distance, im in montana he is in texas. he told me he wants to propose when he comes up to visit me this week. im 18 and he is 21. i go to airforce boot camp in two weeks and will not have any connections with him for two months minimum. i want to say yes, but my parents say its to early. i love him and would do any thing for him. i know he would do the same. he told me he is going to propose. is it to early to tell if this is real or should i take the chance on him?
we have talked every day all day since we met. and i visited him a couple weeks ago. so i met his family and got to hang out with him.
Yes, by six years.

Yes, it is too soon. How many hours have you actually been face to face either in person or on webcam, or on the actual phone, talking? They are the things that count. Also, what counts is that you see him in crowds and with other people to see how he treats them. You have to meet his friends and family and hang around with them before you get engaged to anyone.
Hey there!!
what an interesting story!
Hmmmmmmm…….
3~4 months is a very short amount of time for a relationship. And adding to that of your age. addition to the fact that you are going to be away for 2 months which is basically half the length of the relationship you guys have been in. I would unfortunately have to say yes it is too early to consider marriage.
I understand the feeling you guys have for each other, but I’d say hold it for a while. I am in a relationship with my girl for 2 years now and we feel the same way you guys do but we both know marriage is still too early. (we’re both 21).
I would strongly suggest for you to stay in a relationship but postpone the marriage, it is in fact too early.
I think it may be too early also given your age and the time that you have known him. It may be okay to be engaged or only date him for some time. But, don’t rush into marriage. Its a lifelong commitment.
way too early
Too early you guys barely know each other WAIT! What’s the rush?
A guy you expect to spend the rest of your life with in a loving relationship will take LONGER than 4 months to get to know well enough to make the most important relationship decision of all.
I’d wait. Get some travel experience which you will definitely with your air force boot camp and enjoy the new experiences and your new friends/peer/colleagues.
Wait, wait wait–such a “time-line” is a recipe for disaster. Relationships take A LOT OF WORK. Most long-distance ones that are lasting take A LOT MORE WORK.. Please reconsider your plans with this boy friend. You’re moving WAY TO FAST, in my opinion
It takes over a year to get to know a person’s moods, likes, dislikes, temper, sexual preferences, etc. Three months is not nearly enough time for someone of your age, and the fact that all of this has been long distance. It’s easy to mistake love when you’re infatuated or think you’re in love with someone, and if he truly loves you for you, he will be willing to wait until you’ve both had ample time to get to know one another enough to know that they are the one person in this world that you want to spend the REST of your life with. Don’t do it, you need to wait.
