    I think the love is different when you are a teenager. I wouldn't call it real love.

    And it isn't because I didn't fall in 'love' when I was younger, or because I am bitter.

    Different, maybe. I dunno, I am not every teenager. I feel that I was in love at 16 and 17.

    I'm going to be 20 soon, which I guess is still in the very young category, but I can honestly say that the relationship I had from 14-16 was the most real thing imaginable. It was amazing, and I think if 3 years later I can look back on it and say, "Yeah, I loved him" well then I loved him! Who is gonna tell me otherwise?

    You'll all see! That you've always been in love, and the times you thought you weren't were just very real nightmares! lol Either that or we decide we're fucking doomed and it's all only ever really been about to end, and not in something of our own choosing! Love ends in itself! Life is that strange!

    When I think back to when I was 13 and 14 and thought I was in love twice with two different girls I realize now they were just passing childhood infatuations.

    It wasn’t real love but I still value the time we spent together on those endless summer days at the beach, the amusement park, or just hanging out at the mall :)

    I wouldn't deny young love or anything, but as you age you learn more about yourself and what you want out of relationships. I think it's for that reason that young love is sometimes put down by others, because what you want at 15 will change at 18, and so on. That other person may not figure out what they want out of a relationship until they're in their 20s. I see it as being about development.

    I thought I was in true love when I was a teenager.

    Turned out I just loved her pussy...because it was very good, even compared to later vaginas I've had the privilege of fucking in my 20's. Not the very best out of all those pussies, but it was definitely on my top three favorite list!

    But, other than that, she was a real bitch.

    i think people can mistake their feelings at any age. someone could be infatuated with someone at 56 and think theyre in love. someone could be falling in love at 15 and dismiss it because of their age. i've always tried to be honest with myself and as i see it i've been in love 4 times. i could be wrong. but ive felt admiration and ive felt infatuation and ive felt lust and love is... it feels unmistakable. i am not yet 18. so yes id say that young love can be as real as any love. imo.

    Of course it's possible, but because people at this age are still gonna change a lot it generally doesn't last as long.

    My best friend and I were 15 when we admitted we liked eachother beyond the platonic public way we had up till then. We started dating and soon realized we really did love eachother. I proposed to her five years later (age 20) and we've been married about three months now. I've never loved anyone else so much as her, and we've been together for pretty well six years now.

    Young love is possible and wonderful, though it doesn't happen for everyone. I'd go so far as to say most of the time it takes a lot longer to find the right person. In the end, it doesn't matter when you find love as long as you do (and even then, I don't think romantic love is what everybody wants or needs). The love of your family and friends, pets, children is all there too. :)

    I definitely think young love is real. I met and fell in love with my future husband when I was just 14 and we've been together ever since.

    However, I don't know for sure that you are in love with this girl you write about, or whether you are just in love with her virginity and wholesomeness. I say let your heart lead you, but not your dick.

    Are you in love? certainly sounds like it. Does that mean murphy's law won't hit hard? no. So enjoy being with her and have fun.

    Man, I gotta tell you. I'm only 14, i met this girl almost year ago, and I still absolutely love her, not like shitty teen love either. If I were you thou, I would play it safe, and that you haven't had the temptation to get her in bed is a great thing, this is exactly the way i felt. I know that a year isn't that long to be in a relationship for, but it has been, by far, the best year of my life. So, if you ask me, yes, young love is real, you just have to be REAL careful with it, because it is easy to break. Not to mention, she's the only girlfriend I've ever had, and honestly, I wouldn't want it anyway. If your heart tells you to go for it throw it right in there!

    P.S. If your birthday is the 27th of October..we share a birthday:)

    It's the old saying, you might like your first puppy because it's cute, but then you see another puppy that's cuter, and then you see a puppy that's not only cute but can catch a Frisbee, and then you realize your first puppy was a pretty bad puppy.

    :p

    Seriously though it can be real but from all I've seen and heard it's only ignorance that drives it to be, if you search you'll find better.

    I think so.
    I loved the same person from the age of 15
    and didn't stop.

    It is possible - there are all kinds of people who married their college sweetheart, etc - apparently. This never happened to me. But I still think it is possible because I have a soul-mate and when we met she was like 15. We had a wonderful relationship (without doing anything illegal) for a long time - we should have "hooked up" - both really wanted to but well circumstances were not in favor of getting away with it without full penalties, so we held off.

    Well I do not know if she fell in love at that age, but it seemed like it.

    Addition to previous post, albeit not so sexually oriented...

    Just enjoy what you have if you fall in love while young. Because, chances are, it's not going to last. Please note I typed "chances are" - didn't say "100% certain failure".

    Parents are still going strong at age 57 where they met at 15. But, every couple they went to school with who got married later on were ALL divorced 10 to 20 years later. How in the world my folks have managed to pull it off...I have no idea. But I am very fortunate that they have.

    Yes it's real, it's also really naive (usually). Normally at 17 you're so eager to fall in love you ultimately glamourize the person you're "in love" with to a extent that's unrealistic. It's possible it's real. You can be 100% right now, in this moment that you're head over heels and then later find out that this person wasn't what you thought they were. Or it resolved badly. Time will tell.
