What is your definition of maturity?
I started my own business when I was 12 years old. I started working with men doing a mans job when I was 13. I have run multiple successful internet business. When I was 15 I owned my own internet electronics store with $160,000 in consignment. I have moved on from all of that to pursue a better career. I homeschool myself. I interact with adults like an adult would. I make better decisions than most adults would. I am not a normal 17 year old.
I'd agree with you here...I was definitely a lot more mature at 17 than most - junior in university, pulling a double major, did research projects, interacted well with adults. Looking back, however, I was definitely not mature. It took moving out, starting med school, and going through some trying medical issues to achieve that.I am sorry, I hate to break it to you, but EVERY 17 year old thinks they are as mature as adults.
A few years down the line, they discover the truth of who they are now vs. what they were then, and find that they weren't mature at all.
Get ready for your awakening.
wow...im glad I was raised in a liberal home...not being able to kiss would seriously detriment my ability to show affection.
Flowers are great, chocolates, other gifts, time spent, movies watched (all tangible and monetary in their own rights)...nothing conveys love like a meaningful kiss imho. Oh and it's free...and the best things in life are free.
Seriously? Where do you live, the town in Footloose?
Immaturity is a necessary precondition of obedience, particularly to parents. Maturity demands that it be allowed to make its own decision. Again, obedience is the virtue of slaves and children, and responsibility is the virtue of adults and free men and women.Nope!
To the OP: Ignore the people who are suggesting that you are immature since you are obeying your parents in your relationship. A true man submits himself to all lawful authority. When you're young, that includes obeying your parents. There is nothing at all immature about obeying God's command to respect, honor, and obey your parents.

I'm sure you'll forgive those of us who don't think an 18 year old is an authority on what constitutes maturity.So true!!
I really wonder which Bible all these Christians on 'Christian Forums' read, because it's very obvious by God's standard that we are to 'obey our parents' and we are under their authority until we start a family of our own through marriage. Even Jesus obeyed his mother as he turned the water to wine!
So good on you man for obeying your parents. It's a great start in a life of obeying God - who is ALWAYS right!

I'm glad I didn't wait too...for one, it positively proved to me that he's the right guy. Plus, we're long distance, so we don't get to see each other that often. It's nice to have a bit of affection when we do.
If it took something physical for you to figure out he was the "right guy," then... honestly that's a little sad. Because relationships are not about the physical.
And that.No. Here's a link that will give you a good sciencey explanation for why you're wrong:Pucker Up! What Science Is Discovering About Why We Kiss - US News and World Report
