Why does he want to wait so long for 'the next step'?
My boyfriend and I are both 18 years old, he already graduated high school last year and I am this year, we've been together for a year now and I feel that after high school I would like to settle down with him. I brought this up to him yesterday and he said to take it one day at a time...what does this mean?? I asked if he was wanting to wait until we are 25 or something and he replied with "maybe that, or a little longer, we just have to see where life takes us" why would he say that? I really want commitment and to marry him when I graduate. I love him more than any other guy I've ever met. I know he loves me but it's hard to tell what his 'mental timeline' is! I already spend the night at his house I just don't know how to tell him how much I want this and how to figure him out! Please help me..

WHY CANT I FIND A GUY LIKE THIS?!? he sounds so respectful and perfect!! I would b grateful that you don't have a complete prick who only wants to have sex and not have a proper relationship!! But if you really feel like you're ready just talk to him honestly about it, and say how you really feel like you are ready and he'll either understand or you'll just have to respect his decision, if you love each other, you will come to an understanding

"why would he say that?"
Maybe because you don't really know where life is taking you yet, and getting out and experiencing the real world for yourself before you have to worry about factoring in someone else's needs is a good idea, at least if you don't want to risk looking back and regretting roads not taken? If he's the guy you're meant to settle down with, that'll still look like a good decision at 25. If he's not, then rushing it because you need commitment right this second will not make your relationship stronger. Either way, he's not ready - and I think he's been pretty clear about that. Let this go and figure out whether he's worth waiting for, or if you need to move on and find someone who's in as much of a hurry as you are.
