Meh, this to me is just every single man's view on marriage. At least this is the view from most of the guys my age that have never had a serious relationship. They all can't fathom the same girl forEVER! Just retarded 6th grade thinking, IMHO, and they'll grow out of it when they find themselves their true match, or alone watching "Who's Line is it Anyway" in their underpants at the age of 35.

My opinion is with the others that say you are still too young. I do think it weighs heavily on each case and your maturity as well as the relationships maturity. I know that I've been dating my current g/f of 3 years since highschool. We've had our downs, but we've had way more ups. We and our relationship has also changed QUITE a bit in those 3 years. As someone said earlier you will NOT be the same person 5 years from now, I know that I am an entirely different person now than I was then, and I still have more growth and changing to come. And as someone else said, you don't really know what type of man you'll be without taking on responsibility. That means bills, supporting yourself entirely, having to make priorities in your life, sacrifices and comprimises. My girlfriend and I are both at that stage in our life, halfway through college, with a military life ahead of us at this point. We know things will be tough, and we have a long way ahead of us. We also know that we are both entirely devoted to eachother and have no need to get out and "try another 'gina" as it was so elequently put. For that reason, we are waiting on marriage till things settle down and we know exactly what's ahead of us. But on the same note, we are very close now, and are moving out together this summer. We already have a relationship where I essentially live with her, and we've discussed almost every aspect of what life will be like when we are actually living together and what changes/problems could arise.

I could go on, but I'll cut myself off here and just say that if you think that you are really mature enough and can handle ANYTHING with this girl, then go for it. But I do mean ANYTHING, including you wanting to get the hell away from her for awhile, because those times will come. What you have to realize is that when those times come, it's your commitment and priorities that will make or break your relationship. And those things only come with maturity, which typically comes with age and responsibility. For that reason, I say no, but really it's all in your hands. Good luck, and I know "You're still getting married!" We're not here to dissuade you, you asked for opinions. And the fact that you're even here asking for opinions, and stating that, "I'm still getting married!" seems to me like your looking for the right piece of advice or series of words that will make you change your mind. That in itself is it's own answer right there.
