My boyfriend and I have been friends for 5 years and only starting dating/becoming romantic about 6 months ago. He is much older than me and is ready to get married right away, like he talks about it all the time and says he can't wait for me to be his wife. I'm only 21 and have told him I think I'm too young to get married and just want to wait a couple years, he's very understanding and says he is willing to wait for me but I can tell he wants to get married very badly. Besides the age I feel I am ready to marry him, but it's such a big decision and I know a lot of people say to date for a loooooong time before marriage so you really know who the other person is. What do you ladies think?
