writes: Hello aunties. I have a new question.I am a commitment phobe, and my boyfriend is the complete opposite (seems kind of rare, huh?) We've been dating for two years, and he was my best friend who I never fully realized my attraction for until my last boyfriend and I broke up.Now. I will be 21 in a few months and my boyfriend is 22. He and I are polar opposites - I need communication and affection, whereas he's the "strong silent type." We live together and I wouldn't have it any other way, but recently he told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Not a proposal or anything, nothing terribly concrete, just like he was stating a fact. I instantly thought of all the things that people would say, how I wasn't ready for marriage, jumping to all sorts of crazy conclusions he wasn't even saying. But without hesitating I said it back. Scared and happy as hell.Now he hasn't said anything about marriage or anything, but has taken to saying that to me every so often. And I'm scared. I know its nothing personal, and that we're not ready for anything too commital, but... what should I think? What should I expect? I'm overwhelmed. (Naturally, he's not because he seems to think saying things like that is normal lol)Thanks.
