I never thought of myself as old fashioned, but in light of recent events I’m beginning to think my views on relationships are not only unrealistic, they’re also about as modern as bed pans.
Imagine this situation; you meet a guy 8 months ago, the pair of you go away for your birthday (which your parents pay for) and on this vacation he proposes and you say yes.
Now, is this romantic or is this sheer madness?
Perhaps if you had been living with your ‘now titled fiancé’ this may be easier to justify, similarly if you had been dating him for over 18 months that may be ok too. But if you were both living at your parents’ home, your parents had never met and your history of men and relationships wasn’t 100% faithful, would you think this was a tad daft?
This is where captain sensible comes in. I think this is nuts.
I have two friends who did get married early this year and they are the most loved up goons you’ll ever meet. They met at uni three years ago, the pair were inseparable-and if their sex noises were anything to go by-they will be happy for a long time to come.
If you love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them, then do it. If you’re not 100% sure then don’t. It’s as simple as ABC.
Besides, you don’t want the guilt of increasing the population of children that were created due to the reply, ‘well I guess we should sleep together this year.’
Find a guy, date him, meet his parents, move in together, get married, have babies, spend the rest of your lives together and die happy.
Why should a girl have to settle for less?
