Hi Kris,
You are too young at 17 to try to find out if this boy is the right one for you. Do not make any decisions in a hurry. You might regret it.
At this point in life, don't you think you should just enjoy being with friends rather than dating exclusively? Give yourself time to mature mentally and emotionally. The decisions you are making now will be 200 percent different from the ones you will make when you are 25 years old.
So there is no need to get so serious with this boyfriend, try to concentrate on your studies and education so that you will grow up to be
successful career woman who your parents will be proud of.
