Grasshopper,

Girlfriends are a dime a dozen at your age. You will change and they will change. Some for the better and some for the worst.

Until you get married tell them what they want to hear. I waited until I was 27 to get married and I am glad I did. I made most of my mistakes in relationships before I got married. Girlfriends are like practice drills. Don't get to attached and play the game of "I love you" and go with it, but realize that they will not be there forever and there will be a time to move on to the next big catch. The drills get harder and more complex as you get older until you realize that you are ready.
