So uh, yea. My gf and I are walking in the park today , and I couldn't help myself. I got down on one knee, looked her right in the eyes, and asked her to marry me. Now, I do not have a ring yet, nor am I the legal age to do such an act, but I honestly want to marry this girl. I loose sleep over her. I think of nothing else but her. When I get a ring, I will do it in a flashy manner, but today, it was pure love.

 

She told me yes, that she loved me, and she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, and we shared the best kiss I have ever recieved.

 

:D :D :D :D :D

 

*EDIT* um......sorry....I had to tell someone :p

Just a word of advice to you young people ;)--you may think you're in love and you're ready to make a decision that will affect the rest of you life, but in reality, you are not ready. You are blinded by the rush that being "in love" gives you. In my own humble opinion, even 20-year-olds are not ready to make that decision.

 

This thread just kinda reminded me of the dysfunction that has occured as a result of impetuous teenagers making a decision that they were not ready to make and did not realize would impact the rest of their life. My mom did it and it ruined her life, her marriage, and the subsequent marriage. Even now, she is acting just like a teenager--ready to marry a person she met online and that she has known for less than a year. In the process, she has ruined my life, my sister's life, and my father's.

 

And then there's my sister. My younger sister, I might point out. She met this person when she was not even 16 yet, and three months later they decided they want to get married. Before that, my sister was doing quite well in school and would likely have eclipsed me. However, about six months after meeting this guy, she moved in with him and his family. She also got a very demanding job at a bank during school. As a result, she paid a price, in terms of her schoolwork and also quality of life. She now is constantly tired and is always getting sick. Before, she had ambitions--she was aiming at attending Yale--but now she wants to go to some state college in Colorado. I even have my doubts as to whether she will even attend college. I would not be surprised if my sister and her boyfriend (I refuse to call them fiances) are lured by the prospect of having a little bit of money now, rather than being patient and getting an education so that they can earn money with less work. It pains me to see the situation she is in now. Instead of being able to focus on her school and her future, she has had to lower herself because of this involvement with this guy.

 

To those that believe that they are "in love" and that they are ready to make a decision to commit themselves to someone--take a step back and think about what you're about to do. Seek advice from those older, more experienced people that you trust. This is a decision that will impact how the next 50, 60, even 70 years of your life will be led. This is not something to be taken lightly, this is no laughing matter.

"the dreams of youth, are the regrets of maturity.

<edit>I just checked your profiles age, make that</edit>

"you poor unfortunate soul"

 

do the math

17 minus 5 years; because from birth to age 5

you can not honestly count that at all.

12 minus 6; because from age 6 to age 11

(that's the age when witches and wizards

attend Hogwarts) also do not count at all.

 

so from 11 to 17 maybe almost 18.

your entire (and definetly limited perspective)

you have just barely gotten a learners permit to drive

are not even old enough to buy cigarettes,

or vote, or drink, and even sex; (face it you're jailbait)

if you had sex it's staturtory rape.

and if the Matrix Reloaded is restricted

(you won't even get to see that)

 

yet with your student pass in one pocket,

and training wheels on your bike,

and an allowance from your parents

because you are not even eligible to work

unless you count child labor in some foreign place,

you are going to marry this girl child,

be her husband, father her children etc.

 

time to take the blue pill obi

(and that goes for anyone posting their congrat's)

why not just call this thread,

gee let's just scam an extra point or two

so I can get a glowy for my name and a img siggy.

Statutory rape isn't much of an issue if both people are underage, and you can work in the in the states at age 12 or 13. He's 17 for christs sake. Depending on the state he resides in, he may be of legal age to get married. So why harass him about it? I felt the same way when I was 17. I joined the Corps when I was 17 and a few months later I was sleeping in the mud with my rifle in the armpit of the world. I might have got married then had that never happened.

 

It'd be a cold day in hell before you see me sucking up to get some points from this guy, but why rain on his parade? He didn't ask for your advice, only to share his good news. Just because you may think it's not a good idea does not make it so. I'm pretty sure people have been getting married at young ages for about...umm, let me count here, uhh.....yep, forever. This has been going on forever. But in your infinite wisdom you think you should sway him from his choice. Nice. I wish my head was so big.

 

 

And what's with this skidrow haiku crap? Quit pressing enter so much, this forum's got wordwrap.

CU Boulder actually has one of the highest ranked Engineering schools in the Nation.....and the School of Mines is another amazingly good engineering school. so if your sister is lookin at engineering, Colorado State Colleges aren't bad atall.

2 perspectives:

 

1. IDIOT! After high school about four of my classmates (5%) got married. After only a year 2 are still married. People and perspectives change so much after high school. I would recommend to at least wait until you were both 20. Very earliest. I didn't change much from 11-15 and 15-18. I am still changing from 19-20. Views on life, college, actually being an adult are a lot harder than they sound. If you two love eachother than you can wait for a few more years until you guys grow up more. All you are missing is sex and even then you don't have to miss out on that. People change a lot during the ages of 16-20.

 

2. CONGRATULATIONS! I couldn't be happier for your happiness unless it was my happiness. Does she have a slightly older attractive sister who likes men who like hockey and cats? Best of luck and keep us all informed.

 

Got a picture by chance (make sure to ask before you post it if you do).

Oh...my...god...I can't believe you actually did that...

 

Go Obi!!!!!!!!!:D

 

Congratulations buddy:)From what you told me before, I think it's safe to say that you are deeply in love with this person, and she feels the same for. So you two deserve each other. It must've taken a while to buck up the courage, eh?;)

 

I'm proud of ya mate:)I wish you two (when the time comes) every ounce of happiness in the world. Once again, congratulations:)

Obi-Wan, make sure that you're using your best judgment. Think through your head, not your pants. :p

 

Really though. Its true that being in love is a fabulous feeling, and you often want to make it last forever, but that rush can often blind our better judgment. Marriage is a major turning point in one's life, and the consequences are unpredictable, and often irreperable.

 

You have to weigh the speed of your action (how ready you are to marry this girl) with your capacity (your judgment).

 

"To have greater capacity is to have greater speed. Impetuosity is having speed beyond ones capacity."

 

I believe Aristotle said that (or maybe it was just in that show, Reign: The Conquerer)

 

Still, its a very valid point. Don't be impetuous, especially with a decision as important as this.

 

Sorry to burst your love-bubble, but those are the facts.

 

Well... I guess I'll have some blue milk anyway... :D

 

*Drinks some blue milk and begins raving*

 

ME IS TEH HAPPY BLORT!!! WHERE'S MY SPORKY FUNKY RASPBERRY PIE MONKEY GOO???!!! FANBOYS ARE TEH NOUGHAT!!!

 

*Falls flat on the ground and passes out*

yea, its true. those slightly negative (although negative, i call em realistic) posts are here because we actually care about the fella and gettin married is a GIANT step. too many ppl rushed in it finding out later it was all a mistake. patience and knowing yourself/her is the key ;)

 

but most important, i wish you all the luck obi ;)

congratulations
