..Yea and speaking of sex in/and a relationship, sex to me can or doesnt have to be part of "love" in a relationship. When I say that I say my boyfriend and I havent done it yet and that doesnt ruin/raise our level of loving each other. Just wanted to say that..

i voted yes due to being in love myself. im 16, 17 in august this year and ive been in a log distance relationship for a year and a half now. sure we've had fights and petty fall outs but i am the one making the fixes and patching us up and making him see how much i lvoe him. he loves me, i know that and i love him he knows that. i agree with Lana also, i cant sleep with a guy unless i am with them and i know theres love. if there aint no love then i see no point and i dont like to (this may sound weird) makesure ig et pleasure or anything like that. i care more if the one i love does, not myself. i care for them mroe than me i guess. i may not last 10 or more years with him, but i like to hope i do, i look at him and i see myself growing old with him, i really do. if i dont get that then i dont, i guess its destiny if its somebody else isn't it?
any ho. i think we all have the right to love in the end. i dont see it as 'grown-up' to love. kids love their toyso.O kids love their parents, its jsut a stronger love to bond two people to want to live forever with eachother.
there i kinda said my bit *eats her chicken sandwich.*
oh but they do its just that I would call it crushes and infatuation rather than love, but still it is an emotional feeling and those feelings can get pretty hefty
You drew the conclusion that I was saying that people can't experience love young? How? I said that it's wrong to say teens fall in love all the time as a generalised comment, because I didn't and I'm a teen.
I haven't seen my g/f in over two weeks... I feel lower when she's not around...

Again, you people are missing the point. It appears you've skimmed over the topic and not fully read it. I'll explain again for those with some kind of imparement that prevents them from reading all posts. I meant if you love someone you'll be willing to spend the rest of your life with them. Even if you don't get married you're at least willing to say, "I'll stay with you until we die together. I'll never leave you." That's love. Anything that ends in another scenario isn't. If it was true love you'd fight for it and not let it go, you both would. It's not love unless the two of you will be together forever.
Suddenly I don't feel like wasting my time though if people aren't going to actually read the topic...

what about when one person falls in love with sum1 but the other person isnt interested, it wont ever work and they wont spend the wrest of their lives together, but does that mean that the first person didnt LOVE the other person?
well all im sayin is that true love can {and normally is} one sided and just because u dont get to always be together doesnt mean it wasnt love
Well I Love Daniel and He Loves Me Back, I mean I know you, I, or anyone cant prove that, but I really have no words other than "Love" TO express what we have. I feel thats what it is, and that's what it is to me, whether it is to others or not.
You never pointed out what you were stating. You said something along the lines of love being mere thoughts of fancy, which isn't always the case. Which is NOW clear, that you believe that also.
It's possible to love without losing love. I'm not denying that as time goes on you learn more and more involving the depths to which love can go, more so than you knew before.

hmm well i'm 18 and i am in love. i've been through only a few relationships (thinking that i was in love then) and now i realize what true love is. i'm very lucky to be with who i am. we have our quibbles and what nots but we both try to figure things out for eachother.
some people don't find love till they're 40 50 or even 60 or above. that's a long wait but since i found love now..i believe it would of been worth the wait of half a century or so. i would do anything and everythin for jeremy (i know it sounds cliche but i truly feel like this).
In my opinion, it depends, it's now been proven that when we are teenagers, our brian is still growing, which means that teenagers can't assess risk as well, or dertermin emtions properly. So we might mistake a chemical for love, or if our brian is develpomed already, we might analyse the emotion as love correctly. Because I have never taken a risk before in my life, which means I can analyse my emtions and when I fancied this guy before I never said I was in love with him, although everyone else said I was.
well im gonna turn 17 in july, n ive been after a girl who is 3 years older than i am for about 4.5 years, which means that ive liked her since i was 12. a lot of people do fall in love at young ages.
I think its possible. but alot of times its just simple infatuation. However fromt that, love can start to grow. Its a learning process, thats one of the reasons why people date and break up. To learn the likes and dislikes they have in people so that when that day comes, theyll know who it is they want to settle down with.
