My Boyfriend proposed to me and I wanted to say no....

Hello Hip Hop Millennial, 

I have a dilemma.  You see my boyfriend proposed to me on Valentine's Day and I said "Yes" but I really wanted to say "No".  I still want to be with him but I am just not ready for marriage what should I do??

You should sit down and talk to him & explain to him that you're just not ready to make that step right now in your life. But be prepared for his feelings to be hurt & for his pride to feel stepped on. When men feel rejected, they can't handle the emotions that come along with rejection. If you want to continue to be in a relationship with him, take the time to explain to him that you love him & why it's important that you two wait. If it's true love & if he knows that you're worth it, he'll understand.  Good Luck sis!!

Hey girl!

So first things first, do you want to get married to him in the long run? If so then you may not have to worry too much. Give it time and don't rush the wedding. Explain to him your feelings about the suddenness of your answer and that ultimately it is something that you want. Enjoy being engaged and assure him that you don't want to rush your "perfect wedding".  Now on the other hand, if you don't want to marry him, girllllllllll. I'm really at lost for words. I'm sure he told his family and friends & his momma probably already planning the wedding. Tell him how you really feel. It was unfair for you to make an impulsive decision and you really didn't mean yes. If he leave you, there's someone else out there who's willing to wait and respect your timing.
