My boyfriend said "Yes.I'll marry you" on facebook...

Okay so my boyfriend is on holiday 30.1 miles away or a 45 min drive away, we don't have a car. and I'm not allowed to visit him.

so anyway, I was having a casual conversation with my boyfriend & he said "Yes.I'll marry you" I never even asked him and yes, it was on facebook.

I'm 17 and he's 16, although he acts like he's older & mature.
We've talked it out and if we do get married we're going to get married at 20-25 . and he asked me before. and he said he'll ask again properly when he has a ring.

What do you think?

    I'd say put it out of your mind until you're 25.

    Until then concentrate on enjoying life, doing lots, learning loads - both individually and as a couple.

    I'm an old wrinklie, so take it with my best intentions.
    You have the whole world ahead of you, probably lots more boyfriends, tell him your far
    too young to be thinking about marriage yet, Its another 10 years yet.

    What about college, university, holidays with the girls, flirting with all those georgous Spanish waiters.

    Live a bit, I know, I know, its all loves young dream and he's the one for yu but just take it slowly.

    This will all be a distant memory by the time your 25.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    well only you two know how you feel about each other, I got engaged at 15 and was with him until just before I turned 18, but he was 5 years older than me. At the time I felt I could marry him loved him wanted to be with him forever etc til he became violent and cheated on me several times. not saying your guy will, but now that I'm 24 and married I look back at those days and think I was silly to get engaged so young. I have a friend who was engaged at 16, married and 18 and they are still going strong.
    In some aspects age is only a number, but its still young to be engaged. if you both feel this way why not be engaged but not plan anything as you say you wouldnt marry til 25 anyway, see how you go for a while.

    so he answers a question you never answered him about quite a sensitive and personal subject and then posts the answer (to the question you never put to him) on face book where everyone will see it and start gossiping and fueling the subject

    yes, he sounds very mature and grown up
