I am getting engaged within the next 3 weeks, I haven't decided when I should do it or how I should do it. I have two ways in my mind that I can propose to my girlfriend, the first one is to propose to her on our 6th month anniversary as we are going to a nice restaurant that night to celebrate six months of being together, the restauarant would be a nice place to propose, a more traditional (and boring) way of proposing, then again I'm not exactly a traditional and boring guy. So my other way of proposing was to do it at the anime convention we are going to, do it at the karaoke which is being held there, you know, change the words of a song so that it comes out as 'will you marry me' I just don't know what way I should propose, I think that if I did it at the convention that it would make our first anime convention much more memorable, either way I know that my girlfriend will be very pleased but I'm unsure of the best way, any thoughts?

Sorry man, but that truly sounded like something off a American kids comedy. You know the ones. The clap and go, "oooh", when people kiss on screen.

Its not my place really to say whether its right or wrong.. But 18 is very young to get engaged. Im 26 and when i got engaged people asked me was i sure as they thought i was to young.

However if you are happy i will congratulate you. So congratulations

No mortgage just yet, not until we have both finished university and getting engaged at 18, cliche? Would you rather we waited till we were 35? Our feelings wait not for time, they are not defined by our age but by our emotions and our love for one another.

When did I say I had my life mapped out? The only way to be independant and to make a go at life is to start off with an idea, it will not go to plan, nothing ever goes to plan in life, I have an idea, we have an idea and thats a start, we will fail at first and numerous times throughout our lives, we will have to work hard for what we want but at least we have an idea of what we want to do, at least we have eachother, thats more than what most people have.

What do you have?

Don't make any assumptions about me beacause I am 18, my age is of no concern to anyone, you my friend along with the majority of the western worl are ageist, don't judge me because I am 18, you have no right to do that, you don't know my girlfriend and you don't know me.

It's not all about age. It's about collateral.

She moved out of her parents house because they kicked her out, since then they have repeatedly asked her to move back but she has told them no every time because she is much happier living with me and my family, just in case you are wondering about any problems which may arise beacause of her living with me and my family, there were a few at first, things like sleeping arrangements, money etc but they have been sorted out. My family absolutely adore her and since she has moved in we are both happier than ever, we are able to go to sleep together and wake up together, do all the things we want to do together like take walks in the park, walk around town together, we help my parents around the house, if you saw her before she moved in and then saw her now you would really notice the difference! She is more vibrant and confident, I really like seeing her as energetic and confident as she is now, moving out was the best thing she has ever done (her words by the way).

Thank you for taking an interest in my wellbeing, in our wellbeing, not many people we have met are as approving, thank you Darling.

Congrats, fella...if she says yes. If not, I'm sorry about the heart-wrenching pain.
