Should I consider him mature enough?

Question - (29 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 December 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hello.

I'm 19 years old. My boyfriend is 17.

He has certainly surprised me by his maturity so far, but i'm afraid i... could be depriving him of his youth. Somehow i feel old...very old.

I'm just wondering if it will work out...if i'm not harming him, he's too young to be dealing with someone my age. Everytime i bring it up to him he says it hurts him, that he had never shed a tear for a girl before.

We have no had intercourse at all but we have indeed shared knowledge about what we both would like, he's a gentleman and i honestly do not know if i should take my gutt-feeling and do belive that he is mature enough ( he has proven it so far ) to say that...he is considering marriage in a few more years.

He is in his senior year, he has mentioned he isn't attracted much by college. I'm in college.

We both love each-other so much. we don't even think about intercourse but rather talk about our lives and how to make everything work out. He always starts the conversation in that kind of thing.

Should i consider him mature enough...? Should i...dump him?

Any advise or input would be most appreciated.

I think you should give him a chance because to dump someone that loves you and is not all about scoring with a college girl is someone that you need around age does not matter about age it matters what your goals are and he seems like a good guy dont let a little thing like age come between you he cant change that and if you two really love each other you will look past the little stuff and love each other for who you are

Two years does not even count as an age difference. It's n ot like you are Hugh Hefner or anything to his Playboy women.

You are still considered youth. As he is.

Just let it go and have fun.
