Dear Christine,
Usually the shoe is on the other foot and it’s the girl who wants to get married. Not so in my case.
My boyfriend has basically told me I have another year to be with him, then he wants us to get engaged and to marry. We have been together about two years. I am 22 years old and don’t want to get married until I’m 25 or at least 30 years old.
He is a great guy and I love him, but I am honestly not sure that he is the person I could spend the rest of my life with.

Dear B.B.,
A girl who does not want to get married?
I don’t think there are many of you around, but I’ll give you this: your boyfriend is clear about what he wants, and that’s commendable.
You also seem clear about what you do not want – to get married.
You’ve got to put him down and have a heart to heart talk with him or just put it in writing. If you suspect that he is not the one for you, don’t string him along; set him free.
