And heres today's boston.com Love Letters question:

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Jul 17 '09, 10:44

Q: I am in love with a fantastic guy I've been dating for 2 years and is amazing to me. I am crazy about him but realize that at 22, I'm young and have no clue where I'll be location wise, job wise and emotionally a year from now. Plus it's the first love for both of us so I'm unsure if that is why I am into him as much as I am, since I've never really had any prior experience. He really has become my best friend but it is getting more and more difficult to imagine my/our future.

He has invited me to join him on his family's annual thanksgiving vacation to someplace warm. His older brother brings his girlfriend every year, and they met about the same age we did. I haven't spent too much time with his family but they are a fun group although he has trouble getting along with them sometimes. I really want to go to the beach with him for a weekend but I feel that if I go on this vacation, I'll be a little out of place. Considering our age, and that we've only been dating two years, I feel this is too big of a commitment for his family to take me on their vacation. I just need a more experienced perspective really, am I over analyzing this too much? Should I spend a weekend in the sun or eating turkey with my family this thanksgiving?

She's so young...

There are people who meet their first love young, marry them, and live happily ever after. - ty97 Jul 17, 10:56
Commitment phobe. She's young. *shrug* -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 10:53
Lots of people get married faster than 2 years. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:49 1
- The majority of people, I'd guess (though perhaps not so for younger adults). -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:50
Idiot...it's a vacation out of Boston to a warm sunny place over Thanksgiving. Overanalyze much? -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 10:49
i question how crazy about him she is, what with all the questions. and "only 2 years" - um, that's not 2 weeks. - b. Jul 17, 10:48

2 years? Spend time with his family already, yeesh. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:47

Sounds like she still wants to explore. Two years is a long time -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 10:46
yes, she's overanalyzing this too much. go if you like the dude -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 10:46 4
- I think she feels guilty because she knows it's not going to last forever. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 10:46 3
  - she needs to decide whether she's way into him more than she should be, or if she can't imagine a future together - just dug Jul 17, 10:50
  - likely - but when she hits 32, she wont' care what she did at 22 - she will care what she did not do. - Epiphany Jul 17, 10:50
  - totally. my first thought was that she needs to break-up with him, but i gave her a little benefit due to age. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 10:50
