I have a new boyfriend and he is so good to me. I can't believe I found him! He is a great guy and we hope to get married.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
new boyfriend!

New and hoping to get married?
I hadn't even dated when I was 18. WHen I did start dating any mention of marriage was met with a laugh. There is way too much fun to have and life to live to want to get married young.

I agree with BLUE.
If I had just broken up with my BF, I wouldn't even consider dating for at least 6 months because wounds are still fresh, and people are still hurting.
"Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." - Proverbs 4:23-27
BE WISE canadiancarebear , and don't get distracted from God!!!

I too agree with Blue. I actually have been thinking about this carebear and it worries me. Not only are you in college which is where your focus should be right now but you just got out of a relationship literally days before meeting this guy you now say you're going to marry. You have no true experiences to build this on.
In all honesty, it seems like youjust can't be alone and that is worrisome. once upon a time I was the very same way and it was very unhealthy and very dangerous. It was also very damaging.
PLease remember carebear that every relationship you have will stay with you and often effects how you deal with your marriage. Any gyu that give half a rats behind abouit you would care about gaurding your heart enough to not even mention marriage until you have gotten suffecient chance to know each other as well as the important people in each others lives.

What's in a name? Letters...
In the end, it's the way you feel God directing you, even though we can give all the advice in the world...Are you going into this too fast? I don't know - I'm not the person in your shoes who's assessing these things. But being prayerful and discerning here is paramount to you making the decision that God wants you to make. If you feel God's calling you to make this a long term commitment, then I pray that He will help you and him to grow to know each other fully enough to be secure in whatever you feel the future has in store for you both

I'm sorry. But I'm not gonna sugar coat this. I agree with what most people have said so far.
It seems to me that you are relying on man to make you happy. Sorry to burst your bubble. But if your happiness lays with," the right one," you are sorely mistaken. For men are liars and we cannot give you what you are looking for. Only the good Lord can ever give you the peace and serenity you are looking for in life. Until you realize that, you'll only wind up disappointed and hurt all the time.
Being married to some guy you just met isn't going to make you happy. From a guy's stand point of view, we only say those things to get you in the sack. Once we have what we want, we're gone. Welcome to the real world.
I, too, have sought," the one," in my life. I was left with empty promises and no solid ground to stand on. I was discontent because the cycle never seemed to stop. But I returned to my First Love, Jesus. I have never felt such peace in my life. And He never failed me......Not once.
Nevertheless, I'll still pray that the Lord grants you wisdom and protect your heart. That you'll see the Truth and know that the only one that can give you happiness and contentment is the Lord.
