Would you rather find your true love at 16 and be with them for the rest of your lives, or would you rather...

find it at 24 and have time to date around until then (to gain experience)?

I didn't have my first "real" relationship 'til I was 23. We were together for over a year, and recently broke up... I'm not ready for promises of forever; I'm not sure where life will take me. If I met someone and we lived together for a while (years), and we were able to communicate and live together without too many problems, growing both individually and together throughout the relationship, I would probably want to marry. But it's gonna take a long time for me to get that comfortable and confident in my trust with someone, to say, "Yeah, let's give this thing a try." Still, you can never really be sure, can you? ... I thought I was going to be with "my first" forever, but it just didn't work out... Who knows what the future has to offer? I won't know 'til I'm there.
I'm sharing this article to everyone lately. I think it explains a lot about "love" and relationships:
