 If you are meant to be for each other ,
then it is your destiny, embrace it.
It is not impossible but it happens rarely.
Only time will tell if he is the right one for you.

 It's great that you are in love - my advice is to just take each day at a time and see where things go. No matter what age you are when you meet someone and fall in love, there is no guarantee it will be your life's great romance...but that's the thing about humans - we like to hope that it is, so keep hoping, keep loving and hopefully your relationship will just get richer as you get older! If he turns out not to be "the one" you haven't lost anything, he has already touched your life in a positive way anyway!

Stick together and work as a team
Good luck

 There are couples who meet at very young age and continues it thorought their lives but then there are very few of its kind.
But why are you keen in this question?will you be with him only if he is there throughout your lifetime? common,people after geeting married,mutual children,years of life together;still seek for separation.relationships are very dicey,you don't know what goes wrong and....
Instead of wasting time about thinking 40 years ahead,make your relationship strong with love,trust,care and understanding to be happy untill you are into it.
life is not that long,so enjoy every bit of it.

My mum and dad met at 16 and when they told people they were in love and that they'd be together forever etc, they knew people didn't believe them. They've been together for 25 years and married for 23 and have four children too. They've never seperated in that whole time either.
I hope you two will be very happy together! x x

 Its definitely possible, not very common at all but it is possible. Nobody can tell you if you are in love or not, only you know how you feel about him but it is very individual. The problem is that at 17 you havent really come into your own personality yet or found yourself, you're going to grow and change as people a lot over the next few years but if you can grow together rather than apart (and most of the time you will have no control over this as you cant make him want to go the same direction as you if he has other plans in mind and vice versa) it is possible.
I look back on my first love and honestly wonder what we ever saw in each other. We were good together at 17 but honestly if we met each other for the first time now (at 23 years old) there is no way we would get together! We've both changed so much and are completely different people. We're exactly the opposite of each other now when I used to think we were soul mates because we had so much in common, he was like the male version of me back then.
BUT my older sister started seeing someone when she was 18 and he was 17. Now she's 28 and he's 27, they're married, expecting their third baby and couldnt be happier.
When people are in love they always think it is going to last forever but its totally individual and depends on the people and their relationship.

We have grown and matured together; we have had our issues but love comes stronger. He's a bit older than me, but he says I'm the one and I believe he is too.
I think 17 is quite a reasonable age to at least fall in love. Maybe not forever, with the same person, but at least to care enough for someone other than oneself and experience true love. It's tough to stay with your first love, actually. And I've also heard that the first time one falls in love it's typical to feel that it'll last forever. However, sometimes, these feelings happen to be the case.
I don't know if I'll be together with him forever. I wish I do, though. However, I've read about "highschool sweethearts" who get married and spend their lives together. Certainly not the most common scenario, but definitely possible anyway!
Just take it one step at a time. See how your relationship progresses, and try to make it the most beautiful it can be. It may very well last forever, but if it doesn't, you will have learnt tons of uselful relationship knowledge!
