Normally,
I don't make the marriage decision for you, but since you
asked, YES, it's too
soon
for you to be engaged! What's your hurry? Why haven't
you introduced this man to your parents? If he's good
enough to marry, why not bring him home? And last but
not least,
do
you think that being blond means that you are dumb? Everything
about your question suggests that you don't feel ready to be
married. After all, would you have written to us if you
felt 100% great about the engagement?
Since you
are only 16 years old, you are not racing against your biological
clock. You've got AT LEAST 15 years (25 by some
counts) before your deadline for having kids. So, take your
time. I think you should introduce the man to your family
and start there. The way a partner treats your family
is a good indication of how kind and generous he is.
If that isn't
enough, do a little research. Ask around and find some
women who got married when they were 16. Ask them if
they would have done it again, knowing what they know now.
I'm sure you'll find a few who had happy marriages and lives.
But, I bet that you'll find many more who regret it.
Almost
all of my friends who married before they were 25 regret doing
it, are divorced now, or went through particularly troubled
times. Even those who are still with their original husbands
wish that they had waited longer before tying the knot.
