Promise rings. Telling my parents?

Honey, you are too young! You are maybe freshman or sophomores in high school! People do a lot of growing up during those years. It is wayy to early to be thinking about promise rings, especially if you've only been together for 8 months. You're way to young to be talking about marriage as well. Dating him is fine, but you two need to focus on the here and now and not marriage, when you're that young and dating for so little time. I hope he's the one, I really do, but you two need to take it slower..

Ahh! Wow. Deja vu. Hahah.

My boyfriend was 15 and I was 16 when he asked me to marry him. I was so startled by his proposal when he asked me since I always figured I would get married later in life and I was nervous to boot. Were we ready to get married? Would people's reactions be good or bad? Ect.

I am now 17. We decided to wait to tell people about our engagement. As of now we are secretly engaged to be engaged and won't be officially engaged until later when he proposes to me on his knees. Then I will wear a ring. When we're (older and) closer to getting married and it's official.

Is it important for you two to have promise rings now? Or would you rather just wait until a year or so before you plan to get married to tell everyone? It might go smoother that way. Or you'll just have to suck it up, tell your parents, and hope for the best.

Good luck! And don't rush into anything!
