At least we'll talk about it, and hopefully he'll make me feel a little more sure of where we are. I don't know when i'll get the chance because we're going to miss our normal date saturday cuz i'm out of town. Oh well, i need the time to get the courage up and to figure out what exactly i'm gonna say.
It certianly doesn't help that i'm shy to begin with.

Talking to him is a good idea and if you want to wait... that's what you do. Don't feel pressured into it. If he's not happy about it, he's not the kind of guy you want to be with, right?
To answer your original question. I was 17. I'm a shy person too, but I knew I was ready and we both talked openly about it because we trusted each other. At the time I didn't regret it one bit. I, at the time, was in love with who I thought was an amazing person. Now, I do regret it because I know that he wasn't who I thought he was (lies etc... personal things).
It doesn't matter how old you are. The only things that matter are the two of you in your relationship, but most importantly your feelings. So go talk to him

and good luck
