Now or in 5 years time?

If you're a guy in the early 20s, and you have the chance to meet that special person, I have 2 scenarios: Be person A: Meet her now. you're still at uni but you could spend a few of your best years together! Encourage each other along the way - perhaps hope to settle down together. Even if it doesn't workout, at least you've been in a meaningful relationship. The downside is that you're not as worldly, nor well cultured just yet, but you can travel with her to change that; while you're ambitious, you're still at uni and not financially stable, she can be there to walk you through the tough times - still you might have a faint sense of embarrassment on your pride, that although you're the guy, when she met you, you haven't made it just yet. Not to mention there is always a chance it could break your heart; or slow you down from getting that job you always wanted. Or Be guy B: meet her in 5 years time. You've kept your head down, worked hard all those years, while your friends was drifting in relationships. The pro: you made it - in your heart of hearts you know that wouldn't be possible if you were person A due to relationship commitment. You've got the big house, the job you always wanted, are now more worldly and dreamy - you got to the point you'd like to start a family soon down the road - and have the means to sweep that dream girl off her feet. The con: you might be more impressive, and have seen more women over time to know how to be a partner - but the trade off: you wouldn't have spent those fantastic years with the special girl - although she'd like the fact you provide well, she wouldn't have seen how hard you worked, how far you've come - when you were constantly trying to make it on your own. Which would you choose? :$
