Dealing with love (mature answers please!)?

I have this problem. I'm 21 years old, and i have had two relationships. My first one started when i was 16 and lasted on and off until I was 20. I was devastated when we would break up because I thought he was ';the one'; because i felt so much love for him. He would say I love you so much and oh ';we are gonna be together forever'; stuff like that. It took me a long time to get over him. I'm the type of girl that won't date a guy until I feel potential in him being ';the one';. So i finally found this new guy, hes 24 and about to graduate college too. I felt head over heels for him by 2 months, way sooner than my last relationship. We say ';i love you '; all the time and i feel like we have been dating for a year (because of my feelings) when really it has only been 6 months. He'll randomly say ';love of my life'; and such. Well today I brought up marriage and he said he doesnt know if we are suposed to be together forever but that he loves me a lot. And that it has only been 6 months so we can't know for sure yet and that we are still very young. How am I supposed to deal with this? Does this mean i should give up because maybe he doesnt feel the same way? Anyone have any experiences like this?Dealing with love (mature answers please!)?
He adores you and doesn't want to rush things, back off. Just show that you love him and know he loves you, it's only been six months that should be enough for now. When he wants marriage he'll pop the question, now that you've mentioned it, he'll know what you'll say. just focus on the two of you. You can't know after six months that you can live with someone your whole life, i know a couple that have been a couple for two years and they are not married. they live together and know everything about each other. Do you know everything about this guy? Does he really know everything about you? Saying i love you doesn't set up for marriage. Meet family, meet all his friends, introduce him to yours, try staying together on a trip, or if you live together, then just focus on life. whatever you do dont fixate on marriage, it's just not a good idea. Dont give up on him because he doesnt want marriage yet, that would be writing him off. it's not the smartest thing to get married after just six months.Dealing with love (mature answers please!)?
no dont give up like you said you have only been together for six months its still very early days, maybe you arent meant to be together forever but maybe you are only time will tell.

your still very young and in my opinion shouldnt be worrying about marriage.

enjoy yourself whilst your still young cuz it wont last forever
Sounds like you are in a good relationship and that there is nothing really wrong. There is no need to worry about marriage right away, just take your time, get to know each other, spend more time together and eventually you will both be in a better position to marry especially financially and those other things that we tend to forget about when in love. Just enjoy being in your great relationship and things will work out for the both of you.
Well, the problem here is that you're inexperienced. When in a relationship, EVERYONE says stuff like ';love of my life...i'll love you forever...i never felt like this before...etc.'; Don't get me wrong, they mean it at the time (or they think they do) but don't take it to heart just yet. This guy you're with now...sounds like a good guy and he's being honest and respectful of you and the relationship. Only an inexperienced guy would honestly tell you that he wants to get married after 6 months of being with you. It's because when you've had relationships you know that it takes time to really get to know someone and be compatible with them. You can't believe that you can spend the REST OF YOUR LIFE with this person just because you guys have been good for 6 months. People get bored, people change, people grow...a lot of things happen.



Look, you're finally in an adult relationship (which im pretty sure is what you wanted), don't blow it. Enjoy your time with him. Wanting to get married doesn't prove that you love anybody, actually, it kind of shows insecurity that you need the reassurance of marriage. This guy is being realistic which is one of the BEST things you can be in a relationship. Trust me. Let your time with him run its course and see where it takes you...your young, enjoy it.
