Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I met a guy at the ROCKY HORROR show we have playing in town and we began dating exclusively after a party we went to. We now live together and my parents love him. He is 3 years older than me, but acts about my age. He is fun, cute, and open with me and friends. But, I've only dated him for 3 months and I think he's gonna' pop the 'big' question. Do you think I should say yes or postpone my answer in turn for a couplemore years of dating?

Doodle9481, this is one of those questions that can be difficult to answer. From the description of your relationship, it sounds like everything is going perfect. The "big" question could either help to make the two of you closer or start to pull you apart. There really isn't a set answer to this, but, if you do really love him, I would advice you to say yes. If the two of you have been dating for a long period of time (You don't mention this in your question.), then becoming engaged could bring you even closer. If you don't feel quite ready for marriage, you could say yes, but that you don't want to get married right away. This will give you more time to get ready for the big day. If you do say no, be very careful how you do it. Make sure that he understands that you still feel exactly the same way for him, but that you aren't quite ready for marriage yet. Whatever happens, I hope the two of you live happily ever after together...
