Can A 15 year old be in LOVE

I Need to know because I think I am but all my friends say i can't be.

They are only skeptical because they have never experienced it. Love has no age limit (for the most part) I fell in love at 15 and there was no doubt in my mind the way I felt for that boy. So it is definately possible to fall in love at 15.

You might well be in love... just remember there are many types of love and in teenage years it is mostly fleeting.

i don't know
i feel differnet around him
for some reason
he makes me feel safe when everything else in my world is pretty much breaking
but i don't know
i think i love him but it's kind of hard to tell when you've never been in love

I'm 15 and my first love is the one I love now. to me if you have doubt about being in love, than you aren't. Love takes you over when you fall, no questions, no answers, just emotions.

Love is relative.

If you think you are in love, you are.

But as you grow up and you REALLY fall hard for someone and you would DIE for them rather than be apart, you will discover that true love is about putting yourself second to that person, and it will make your teenage romances seem indifferent in comparison.

same here i am 15 and in love as well

child love is confusing
you could be you might not be though
i got the same type of issue

Yea you can Be in love at 15....I'm only 11 and I'm in love....

I honeslty agree with shy, i thought i was in love about a million times from ages 11-15. Ive had a lot of experience with men (no not all sexually), and i can tell you i thought i was in love but i wasnt it was just puupy love as they say. But now i do know what love is, and im only 16. Ive been in love with by boyfriend for 11 1/2 months, about to be a year. What we have is beautiful. We were so in love that i gave my virginity to him.BUT im not saying go have sex with that person, that is only if you know that your in love and you dont have to ask anyone if you're in love or not. TRUST me when you find the one you'll know, and you wont have to question it. Good luck in finding your answer. P.S. Also remember have fun with love, it shouldnt be so much about how madly in love you are and how you would kill yourself for the other person, its about enjoying eachother's company, making eachother feel like better people. Making eachother feel whole and complete together. THAT"S wht love is. WOW, i seem to have a lot to say, also one more thing...love isnt when you close your eyes and imagine him in a sexual way, many young girls feel like they love someone just 'cause they feel alot of lust towards the person they "love". okay now im done.

no offense, but if you're really in love, do you need to even ask that question? orrrrrrrr.... are you doing this because you're so damn sure you are that you're gonna prove it to your mates cos their stupid?... in that case, a forum of random people says nothing...

I was in love at the age of 13.....I can get over the end of the relationship, but not over the love. I know that it was so intense at such a young age, but I wouldn't want to take it back. Ever.

True love is a comittment. 15 is to young to have a committment like that. No you cannot be in love. It's all hormones.

1 A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

2 A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

3: 1. Sexual passion.
2. Sexual intercourse.
3. A love affair.

4 An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.

5 A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.

6 An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.

7: 1. A strong predilection or enthusiasm: a love of language.
2. The object of such an enthusiasm: The outdoors is her greatest love.

If one matches up then sure.

Sure you can love at 15. You should be able to love at any age. Now, as said, Lasting love is another story. People will tell you "no" now because they don't want you to grow up too quickly. 15 is a little young to be thinking about any kind of future with someone, so it is understandable why such love isn't taken too seriously.

I mean, at 15, you can't drive alone, you can't drink, see R rated films, go to clubs, and you're most likely still in school. So with all those freedoms and responsibilities denied to you, it's easy, in retrospect, to see why one such as love would too.

Then again, I wouldn't listen too much to other people. No matter how old, they are about as lost as anyone about how to keep relationships together.

Yes a 15 year-ols can be in love I believe because I'm 14 and have already fallen in love. Don't listen to them they just don't know what you feel.

Don't listen to them they just don't know what you feel.

Why do I not know how shes feels any more than you do? Am I not human too? Was I not 15 once?

i agree with bret

Love is not something you can explain on one of these posts. Love isn't something that can be written, or told like a story. Any human being of any age is capable to have true love. It is not something limited to more intelligent or more mature adults. They cannot describe love either, so in fact we are equal to them, and because we are so young, we have nothing but to gain from it.

Being 15, and once being that naive (don't get me wrong, I'm still incredibly naive) I'd say you'd have to be nucking futs to think you were in love! But thats just me in most cases. I was reading the posts before mine and they all say that they're fifteen and in love and younger. I just don't understand how you guys can think like that. I know how it is to think like that, but I can't imagine ever doing it again, I feel so stupid now for believing something like that.

Not all 15 year olds are naieve.

It's hard to define feelings so young because you have not experianced them all, so the only reason that people think you can only love later is because you know WHAT IT IS. You have something to compare a petty crush to, and you have something to compare burning hot love to.

That is why I said "love is relative." If you think you are in love, you are, at that moment. It doesnt mean they are the love of your life, you cannot say that until you die. But it means that you feel love for that person, as far as you can define love.

No one else can define your feelings for you, they arent feeling them. No one can tell you you arent capable of being in love because of age, because that is ignorant.

i was 15 when i fell in love...still am

I know you can be i'm 15 and i'm in love your friends can say your not but if you know in your heart that you are in love then you are, don't let your friends tell you that your not.

of course you can be in love at 15 i was 14 when i first fell in love

answer honestly. how long hav u known this guy, an i mean known him an not just known who he is. how well do u know eachother?

I think that you can be in love as a 15 years old, just in a different way... When you're 15 life is already confusing... When you're a teenager you don't know what in life you wants... But i really don't know for sure... I think I'm in love and i am 15.

I am 15 and I thought I was in love when I was with my boyfriend of 8 months but when i broke up with him i thoguth i still did love him but know that I am with someone i didnt love him

It was teenage love alot different then real i love i have to say and i dont even know what real love is

I AM A STRONG BELIEVER OF THAT YOU CAN BE IN LOVE AT ANY AGE IT ALL DEPENDS ON IF YOU HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON, YOUR SOULMATE... TRUE LOVE...!!

MUCH LOVE
~*~HEATHER~*~

i'm 15...never been in love....no idea what you're talking about! in my opinion, i'd say you'll be over it in about 1 month. don't take it the wrong way

eh? i was a 15 year old and i fell in love and had a gf... and got dumped lol so yeah it would be good!

Romeo And Juliet. Haha, think about that. Yes. Love comes in all shapes and sizes.

The age though, creates the maturity level for the realationship. You're not going to sit there with your boyfriend making love forever when your 40. hell. you'll get tired of it probably. But when your a teenager, you could imagine going at it longer then two older people could do. lol

Just go with your heart. Unless your being blindsided. And if you are, the love will end in pain.

i dont know, i honestly believe in love. you remember that 3rd grade crush? That feeling in the morning that you wanted to get up and come to school just so you could see him/her. Well, yea. thats kinda what love is like. If you could feel it back then... why not now? Whats different, you're only able to understand more now. And you're only able to do more things then you could when your were 8.

ahhh, i hope you understand my astonishing gibberish. :p But thats what i was thinking.

LOVE COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. HENCE THE AGE I DONT THINK HAS AN EFFECT, ITS JUST THE MATURITY.

...okay... elvis has left the building.

mattsbabygurl

People always say to be truley in love u have to be an adult or old enough to understand wat love means but thats a lie.....
*NaNa*

Hey loveisconfusing. Yeah you can. Im 15 and SERIOUSLY think i am in love. Its been 8 years and the feelings are still the same. He makes my heart flutter, and gives me butterflies and whenever i hear his name my name stops. Also, if i hear hes flirting with someone or going out with somone...my tummy seems to totally fall. So yeah i think im in lvoe...its not fair

i believe there are different definitions of love, like gandalf was saying the "child love" and "grown up love"...theres also inbetween that and other types, but no matter what, its love. i think its possible at any age, provided you know the person...otherwise its lust.

Yes. I believe you can. I'm almost 16 but I KNOW I was in love at 14. I mean, we broke up but it still hurts a bit when I think about it. I could probably still cry about it but I don't let myself anymore. LOL. I've already had a year to get over him. I've moved on.

yeh i reckon people can fall in love at any age, i first fell in love at 12 or 13, and i knew for a fact it was love, cuz i was constantly thinking about that guy, and i always wanted to see and speak to him. i got butterflies when i saw him, and if he came to close, my legs feel funny. and just little things like that make you KNOW you're in love. people say that young people cant be truely in love because they think at our age, we havent yet seen or experienced everything in life to know what love is, so therefore we cannot be in love. i can see where they are coming from, but i dont agree with them. i am 15 aswell, and im in love for the second time.
