Fourteen is too young to even be thinking about marriage. There's nothing wrong with hopes and dreams but to make your dreams come true, you need to be able to pay for them. That means he has to have a good job and you need to finish your education. As beautiful as the idea seems right now, when the rent is due and you have no money, your dreams can turn ugly rather quickly.

I would suggest you set goals for when you will marry. Something like when you have graduated, both of you have jobs and a specific amount of money in the bank. It wouldn't hurt to include college in your goals too. If he isn't willing to work toward your future, make him part of your past because that's where it will be headed.

Young teen love so new to a young person growing. It is risky and scary. Note:Song "Taylor Swift, fifteen" So true.
Do not consider marriage yet, because you are still growing and learning who you are. You need to find yourself and grow in that way. Boyfriends are nice, but the one who cares will understand you. No one want to rush into something when you are still learning. I got married at "21" I thought I was ready; it turned horrible. I am going to be "25" I am still learning about me. I do not need to someone yet. Just take life slow, because "LIFE ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE" I believe in love, yet love is time, learning, trusting,etc... Just find yourself 1st. For example: What are your gifts? What do you like to do? What is your future goals? Will the person you choose to date agree with your life? Most people get married and be "CONTROLLED" Do not ever fall into that. You need a man in the future when you are ready "emotionally, age-wise,etc." You want someone who has same beliefs as you and will join you not "control" you. Share your life and not be told what to do unless you are doing something wrong and he is trying to save you. Good Luck. Stay young. Do not grow up too fast

SERIOUS RED FLAG if you feel like you can't talk to him about how you're feeling about the proposal. What are you going to if you're married and stuff really hits the fan and you can't talk to him? If he's your guy, you need to be able to talk to him about ANYTHING. Relationships/marriages are hard, hard work and without open, safe and honest communication, you don't have a snowball's chance of making in through.

Rob said exactly what I was going to say... Set those goals!

I'll say from my personal experience, I'm very glad that I waited until much later in my life (34) to get married, even though my husband and I were together several years before we got married. I took the time to get to know myself, and understand more about how and when to assert myself in the relationship. I've lived and traveled, so I don't feel like I missed anything by getting saddled down too early. I have my own degrees, my own money, my own career. I certainly want him in my life, but because I don't have to depend on him I know that I'm making a choice to be with him, rather than sticking with him out of economic necessity.
