15. You’re on vacation with your boyfriend and it’s been raining non-stop. What’s your reaction?

While you may love your boyfriend very much, you’re clearly not ready for marriage right now. Maybe it’s just too soon in your relationship and you haven’t yet had those discussions about the future and what you both want. Or maybe you’re just not ready to settle down. Whatever the reason, don’t make such a huge commitment until you’re really ready—no ring or fabulous party is worth a lifelong commitment you aren’t sure you want.
