OK, so me and my boyfriend have known each other for 4 months & we just started dating on May 3rd. I’m 15 and he’s 17… I live in Florida, he lives in Texas. He’s coming down to see me next week and he’s staying here for the whole summer.
He tells me he’s deeply in love with me and he doesn’t want to be with anybody else, but me. I believe deep down inside he is telling the truth and I find myself falling in love with him more and more each day. He claims I am the love of his life and he wants to marry me.
He tells me everything I want to hear, but he also tells me sweet things that guys have never told me before. He said he’s preparing to ask me to marry him when he comes down here. I know we’re young and everything, but he says he’s ready and that once I’m 18, we’re going to get married.
We have talked about having children before and I never thought he would want one now. I really do want a child now, but I believe that’s just a phase I’m going through right now in life. I feel like if I get pregnant now, I might regret it later on in life. I really want to be successful in the future. I want to finish high school and go to college, but I don’t want me being pregnant to be the result of why I couldn’t do those things.
He tells me he will always be there and he will support me through thick and thin. He claims he is ready to be a father and he is ready to take on the responsibilities of having a child. We started to talk more seriously about having a child more and more each day. We already picked out a name “Nevaeh Cabrera”.
I feel like he is ready. But am I really ready? I love him to death, but we only have been together for almost a month and were so young. But the more, we talk about having a little baby girl, the more I feel like I’m ready. I don’t know what to do… I feel torn by this decision..
Can you give me some advice?
Love,
