Absolutely! I started a mature relationship with my boyfriend at 17. Now im almost 21 and were getting married! It really all depends on the person though. Try dating her for a while and if she turns out to be immature then end it. You never know unless you try.
 
Yes, but it depends on the individual. The woman I married was in her 30's (as was I). She was certainly mature enough.
 
I'm 20 and i still hesitate at the idea of a serious relationship. I don't want a mediocre non-serious relationship either because i think i'm over that but i am not yet for a serious relationship. Not really. I may want to think i am ready for one and fool myself into thinking it but down to the point in reality i still think I'm too young. So i understand that you are 24 and i know that is an age where you are already thinking of commitment, she is nineteen she still doesn't even know the freedom of or responsibilities or the concept of a lot of things. I know this because i was in a relationship with someone who is 26 and he was ready for a lot of things that i was just not ready for, he had a career, i was still in college. The only way it would have worked for us would have been a long relationship. I wasn't ready for it. But really it all depends on the person. I am only sharing with you from my point of view. She may be ready to jump that hoop or you can give her time to get adjusted to it.
 
it depends on how far in relationship and how well connected and how well you know each other. everyone moves at different speed there is no need to rush
 
Yes, i know a couple whose 17 and 21. They are working out beautifully. But like the above answers have said, it depends on the connection, there's sometimes family issues, etc. as long as you resolved all the possible issues as far as you two being together, it should be fine.
 
You can but why would you want to?
When I was 19 the last thing I wanted was a serious relationship. I had so much going on in my life that I had no room for a relationship.
You have a lot of years ahead of you why not wait and enjoy singlehood before venturing out into a relationship?
 
I'm 17. I am in a serious relationship with my boyfriend of nearly 18 months. Am I faithful? Yes. Do we have fun? Yes. Are we comitted? Yes. Do I support him? Yes. We are both serious and even though I know I have a lot more of my life to lead, I'm going to make my best efforts to make our relationship work. I still want to go out and have fun with the girls, but not in the same way I would if I was single... I wouldn't flirt as much!
I think relationships are built on trust, mutual respect and communication.
If yuo think this young lady is able to do this, I say go for it. There are some 16 year olds out there capable of a serious relationship, and there are some 30 year olds incapable of a serious relationship. Age really isn't in the underlying factor here.
 
Depends on the individual, but probably not really. A 19 yr old is barely a legal adult and doesn't really know yet who they are (as an adult individual) and hasn't had time to get moving down their adult life path (college and/or career) very far.

It's not that they are necessarily very immature (in general) but have so much to learn about themselves and adult life over the next few years, that a serious relationship is likely premature. If it is considered, let marriage wait a few years.

I married at 19 (and have had many friends who first married young) and the odds are against it working out as long as marriages between people who are a bit older, more mature, and more experienced in life and relationships.
 
It really depends on the person. I definitely think it's possible. Not all 19 year olds are alike.
 
No, a woman at 19 usually has not found herself and does not know what she wants or doesn't want in a partner. She hasn't even turned 21 yet, what will happen when she's 21 and wants to go bar hopping with friends and go to the clubs? My point is, there's still a lot she needs to experience. She hasn't graduated from college, hasn't experienced nightlife, doesn't have a serious job, and hasn't dated enough to know if you are right for her.
