Did i give my friend the right relationship advice? was i to pushey? & more questions.

so my friend says to me, i need your advice on this guy. she has been dating this guy for a few weeks and says that he has been talking about wanting to marry her. but she did not know wether or not she was ready for that commitment. here is what i said exzactly,





- well to tell you the truth, you are not. no 16 yr old is. you both have a lot of growing and changeing to do, plus both of you are not ready to support your needs when it comes to buying a place to stay and what f you two decide to have a baby? are you ready for someone to depend on you 247? and what about school? how would you juggle school, trying to live on your own, a job and living expenses? you see what i am saying is that majority of teenage marriges do not last, plus you may think you made a big mistake later on. all i am saying if it was truly ment to be it will last, marriage or not. plus if you were ready you would not be questioning wether you are or not.





-then she says, ok, i do like him tho. even when we split up for a weekend he is the only person i ever wanted to talk to





-then i say back,


ok, well all i am saying is to slow it down and really get to know him on a personal level. ask him about marriage, like if we were married what would we do for jobs, kids, living, school, etc. but do let him know where you stand and where the line is drawn.








its ironic how my friends come to me for relationship advice, when i havent even had my first bf yet. rofl!





was i way to puishey on my opionon that i drounded out her feelings? was i to firm? should i even have said it like that? did i give her the right advice? please tell me what you think.Did i give my friend the right relationship advice? was i to pushey? %26amp; more questions.
Your advice was excellent. You poured a cold dose of reality on her head, which was exactly what she needed.

Sounds like you are way more mature than she is. Unfortunately, too many girls think they have to rush into relationships, sex, and marraige. She has a whole life ahead of her. In fact, I don't think ANYONE should get married before they are 25...because as a young adult, there will be MANY changes in your lives.





I think you gave her great advice, it wasn't pushy, but a good reality check for her. I just hopes she takes your advice. And when you fall for your first guy, you remember it too! :0)
I think you gave her great advice. I am so glad you have a good head on your shoulders!


Don't feel bad if she doesn't listen to your advice though....


But who knows how long it will last?


Best advice-If its truly meant to be it will last, marriage or not.


Good for you!
