Recently I’ve met this guy, he’s a sweetheart and we have pretty much everything in common. We get along well, we talk all the time, we have the same interests, we both had rough childhoods, etc. There’s just a few small problems….he’s taking things a bit too fast. I’m 16 and I know very well that planning a future with someone, talking about moving in together and getting married and having kids one day is not what I should be focused on. My concerns are school, getting my license, planning for an independent lifestyle. I just don’t know what to do about him. Granted, he is four years older than me, and maybe it wasn’t a smart decision to begin with, but that’s why I need help. I’ve tried talking to him about this, but at this point, I don’t know what to do. He’s convinced that the moment I turn 18 we’ll be moving in together. He’s even planning on moving to live closer to me since he has a pretty successful career working as a graphic designer for Sony, but I don’t want that.
I want all of this talk about living together and having kids and getting married to stop, I’m too young for this. I don’t want to lose him, he’s been such a good friend to me and sometimes I think he’s like the male version of myself, but i don’t know what to do.
What do you think?
