So age doesn't always have something to do with it. I was worried that she was going to be in major party mode when we got together (she was 19, I was 26). But she was already past that. She is much more mature than others at her age, so I think that is the key.
This is a photo taken while she was working on her MR2. A friend did some photoshop work on it to "spruce it up" a bit!

My S2K would never look like that! It stays in pristine condition all the way through!

To those who haven't met Nate & his girlfriend Joy, let me tell you how incredibly cute they are together! I wish my hubby was even just a 1/4 as interested in cars as Joy is.
Nate, the 10 year plan, huh? Mark my words, when she hits 26 or 27, that plan (at least according to her) will go right out the window! LOL

LOL!
Yeah, I know. She cornered me the other day and said, "You said 10 years when we got together almost three years ago."
I said, "Okay, how about 8 years?"
She said, "Okay, that's a little better."
Then I said, "Well, maybe we'll go for five years."
She got all excited and said, "Really???"
I said, "Well, maybe 6 or 7 years."
Then she said, "No! You can't go back on what you said. You said five years. Baby, I love you!"
Jerseygirl, are we going to see you at the southeastern meet in July??? We'll be there for sure!

Not to sound depressing or anything, but a LOT of my friends have gotten divorced and they ALL got screwed. It is hard to think about a marriage lasting anymore, and so I can't help but think about the ending. With divorce law favoring women, it's scary as a guy to think about what could happen.
I cannot seem to find any good reason, as a guy, to get married. (Unless you want to have kids, but that's an aspect that is beyond the scope of my thoughts at this point.) There seems to be little benefit, and a LOT of risk.
Now, I know virtually EVERY woman out there will say that they aren't thinking that way when they go in to a marriage. The problem is that when a marriage ends there is a LOT of negative feelings, hurt feelings. No matter who's fault, there are going to be hurt feelings. Multiply a woman's hurt feelings with a lawyer and it's very hard to NOT get screwed over.

Well, my g/f and I have talked about whether we even need to get married or not, as we aren't sure if we would even have kids. In fact, if we did, I think we would adopt. But I'm on the 20-year plan for kids! I'm still a kid myself!
Even if we do get married, I would still have separate bank accounts, etc. There is no point in marrying and getting a divorce and being completely screwed in the end. What's mine is mine. What's hers is hers. It should remain that way throughout. Obviously, some things are both, and you have to deal with that, but in many cases, it can be separated. If I buy a house, it'll be my house, in my name. If I had to, I'd have a pre-nup made.
Jerseygirl, well, it sounds like you can't go wrong either way! It would be cool to see you again, so if you come to the meet, let us know. I'm sure Joy would love to have some time to hang out and talk, have fun, etc.
