Hey, whats in a hurry?! I know you are in love but why rush things? On a personal note, i think its best for you guys to know each other more and take your time. Enjoy life first anyways as long as u love each other nothing will change. You know what i mean... You are too young. Enjoy, explore life and love. Take care. (",)

Yes. Hey, you are only 17 and still a minor. Here in our country, we dont allow minors to marry unless they are in their right age you know.. I understand what you are sayin here but still, take your time. Give both of you some more years before plunging into marriage. This is just an advice from a concerned friend. (",)

hmm..this is a very liberated setup.. i think that being 17 should mean freedom.. im not telling you not to love this person, but think about it..maybe you still have 30 years or more to go..i bet you'll meet someone sweeter or someone that you'll fall in love with everyday.. its not that im saying that you two shouldn't be together..the thing is, there is lots to happen.. to name one is going to college..aren't you thinking about your future??dont you want a career for starters?? you could be anything you want if you just please it..moving in with someone at an early age is difficult..you could have a baby..and if you do, how about career?? you two can have a relationship..but attachments or commitments like this is difficult to handle..you're young and so as he..responsibility is a big thing..i'm 20 and i cant even handle myself properly..(well, we have different personalities..) but still, if you commit to this, you'll have a lot to go through that you shouldn't be going through if you two just stay with being lovers.. i hope this helps.. you're young..have a vision for your future.. may God bless you on your decision..

Im not sure what country your from, but if you were mt daughter and you were 17 you would not be with this person he would be in jail for messing with a minor.
