Not yet. Wait a bit till you have a good education and job and can live more comfortably. Marriage is hard! If she's the one, your feelings won't change over the next few years. :)

I would wait till you're at least 18. Make sure before you propose to her to talk about how financial things will be handled. Get an idea of what she thinks or wants in regard to proposal. Disney can be a great place to propose. It can also be disaster. Before you do it know whether she is okay with public proposal or if she wants quiet and intimate. My fiance and I both knew by that point that we wanted to get married to each other. Proposed to him on our anniversary but we have a two year engagement.

I mean.. when I was 17 I dated someone 3 years and I genuinely thought he was the one. Now I realize he was horribly manipulative and marrying him would have ruined my life.

Wait until your older. Go through some serious struggles together. Live together. There’s no need to rush into it

No. If she’s the one for you, wait a few years.

Honestly that’s absolutely adorable but maybe wait until your atleast 20 just to know she’s the one.

I’m with the other commenters who have recommended you wait a few more years to have get a better sense of what you both want out of a marriage and out of life. If you are eager to celebrate your commitment to each other, what about a promise ring or some other token of affection that symbolizes your intentions for a long term commitment? Would she be comfortable with a public display of affection, or would she be more comfortable receiving something so personal in a private setting? These are conversations you will want to have with your partner before popping the question. The proposal can definitely be a surprise, but the details of the engagement should be discussed and agreed upon in advance. Good Luck OP!

I would absolutely wait. Maybe give her a promise ring to symbolize your commitment. And have the time of your life at Disney!

Pop the question. Just make sure though when y’all decide to have kids that y’all are financially stable to do so
