[quote name='diaeresis']Rent, utilities, appliances, car payments, termination of health insurance, full time job, education, pregnancy ... either you're loaded, or this is like, "yes we're in high school but we'll be together the whole time for ten years until we're ready and then we'll get married and then live happily ever after," at least until you have sex, and then everything's great, until you have a fight, then start to wonder if it's at all realistic to be together for the rest of your life when you're not even sure what you want to do individually.
So you push the questions aside and press on in faith until the problems don't go away and she breaks up with you. Then you're disillusioned because you're no longer a virgin and your one true love amounted to nothing, so you get together with someone else, and that falls apart in like a week, and before you know it you're 25 and have your degree and find your job, if not a bar, the only solace from an increasingly gnawing suspicion that, even if true love ever existed, you will never find it in your lifetime.
In that case, it's totally like every other high school relationship.
Congrats!

If that doesn't scare him out of it, I don't know what will. Well said.
