I'm not happy, but maybe I should be?

My boyfriend wants to marry me, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him. He's fun, lovable, but we're both just kids. I guess I'm content, but its the same level as if I were single. He has been asking my friends about proposing to me and they don't understand why I would say no. He is such a good guy, but he's not what I really want. I'm going to college, I have set goals on what I want to do with my life. He's thinking about giving up college and stay in our little town of horror to be near me. He shuts me down when I've tried to talk about college stuff, so I've stopped trying.

What should I do?

    Good for you for not letting a guy get in the way of your studies. Thats really respectable. As for you guy, he sounds like he being a bit childish and needs to think about his own life. You also need to lay it down straight for him and tell him that you rant interested in spending the rest of your life with him that you are fine just dating. Otherwise he is going to throw a lot of years away just waiting for the day that you will eventually say "Yes!"

    This is a communication problem.

    To make such a BIG decision, Spunkiee suggest to both of your to sit down and trash it out.

    At this age, you guys have your wants and needs.....specify what is important in both your lives....

    Both of you must get your own priorities right first before you guys proceed to make this decision.

    if you guys cant talk about stuff then i dont think thats good. but i think you should tell him that your not ready for marriage yet because theres things you want to do before you settle down in that way.

    Run like hell before you wake up in 20 years a bitter, displaced homemaker.

    if you don't want to marry him then don't marry him.
