DEAR CR-ABBY:
I am 16 but will be 17 in a few months. I have known my boyfriend, "Gabriel," for two years. He is my first boyfriend.
After four months of dating, Gabriel has asked me to marry him, and I said yes. He had been hinting about an engagement, and I didn't have the heart to say otherwise.
Gabriel is very dear to me, but I keep hearing people say, "Keep your options open." I told Gabriel that I am young (he's 18), and I want to take it slowly, but he says if I break up with him to date other guys, he will never date me again.
Cr-Abby, I want to make sure Gabriel is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Sometimes I wish I hadn't started dating him because I feel too young to be engaged or married. I love Gabriel dearly. I don't want to break his heart or mine. I am also scared I might mess up this relationship. What should I do to make myself believe that I have found my true love?

Dear Sixteen Going On Seventeen Sooner,
Stuck in Oklahoma ain't OK,...go West Young Girl and escape the Dust Bowl Courtship. Tell him Later, not Sooner :)

Don't date any Nazi Wanna Bees either, even if they can sing.
Cr-Abby rule of thumb,...Take your age multiply by 2 as a minimum of people you should date before getting hitched. (CAVEAT, not a valid calculation for those under 16 or over 40)
Cr-Abby
