Do you really think that age matters?

Well everytime someone young posts a thread on here about their love issues, they never seem to get advice all they get is critiscm because of there age.
I personally don't think that age matters because you know how you feel and if you feel like your in love then your in love.

So do you really think that because you are only 13 or 14 that you don't know what love is? Or that age even matters when it comes to love?

I think age has a little bit of say about love.. i mean i'm not that old myself (17 almost 18)... but i know i dislike hearing when people say omg im in love... when they have dated someone for like a month.. i dont think thats long enough to really know the person.. now i say im in love.. ive been with a guy for about 3 years... we were saying i love you to each other after one year... so we were both 15... so age has a little bit of a factor.. but personally i think its all the situation that they are in.. you know?

Well I have been with him for nine months and yeah I know I am young but I do think I love him.
I am not saying oh we are going to get married and spend the rest of our lifes together. But the way I feel about him is very strong and yeah..

I personally think that when you hit purberty (so around 13 or so)... that THAT'S when you kind of start to somewhat find out what love is, but no fully, and as you get older you get a better idea of it.

9 months is a long time.. i see where you are coming from and i completely understand when you say that your feelings are so strong... and if you guys break up and you date someone new you might even get more stronger feelings, and maybe you wont.. so it could be love..

but thats just what i think.

Maybe it doesn't have that much to do with age as it has to do with time. At a young age you can have these feelings (I have) but I say that after some time if you and the one you say you love have withstood the tests life brings and can still say you love them... the cool.

Even as you get older love seems like a complex puzzle. I don't think anyone could ever fully understand love.

Age kind of does... because love isn't just a one sided thing... true [love] is two ways... so there's gotta be a connection... chemistry. in other words, same maturity level... so yeah... just my opinion..

In some aspects I believe that age does matter. Some younger people just jump into relationships and start telling each other 'I love you' after a week if that long. That isn't love. I believe you need to take time to get to know the person that you are with. Know their personality and who they truly are before you can be in love with them.

"love isn't just a one sided thing... true [love] is two ways... so there's gotta be a connection... chemistry. in other words, same maturity level..."

I agree with that. It has to be both ways. Both members of the relationship need to feel the same way and be mature. Though, some people do mature faster than others. So there age isn't such a big thing. Just some one around the same maturity level and some one you get along with... I think love is possible.

What if you don't tell eachother you love one another until you've been dating for almost four months? What would you say then?

Well first of all, I am mature.
Way more mature then a lot of these ignorant people on here.
So don't judge me because you don't know me.
=]
I have been through a lot of stuff that half of you would never imagine.
And if I am in love, I am in love you can't change my mind.
And no I am not going to laugh when I look back at this, because it is real. It's real now and it will be then.

Well Sam they are retards all of them but oh well I'm standing up for my feelings and it's simple!

I never said that I have been through more than you, I just said that I have been through stuff that you couldn't imagine.

I am not saying that I don't get good advice.
Often I do get good advice, that really does help.
But some times you get tired of hearing your only 13.

Your annoying samb.
Lol.

"And no I am not going to laugh when I look back at this, because it is real. It's real now and it will be then."

^Seriously, that's what we all say when we're 13 or 14. And then -surprise, surprise- after three or four years we all realize that we were wrong. It's not that you can't love someone at your age, but when you are older you will add to your definition of love. It will become a much stronger and more serious feeling than it is for you right now.

Personally I dont think age has a say it in what so ever, It doesnt matter how old you are you can still be fooled into love and heart break. How ever I think love can only be grown so to say you love some one after a week is jumping ahead a bit lol.

In the sense of age and dating... I don't want to date anyone that's so much older than me, maybe 5 yrs. I've dated someone 2 yrs younger too. Age definitely matters for me when it comes to dating.

Well that wasn't the question, the orignial post was asking if there was a soecific age where you can be in love =]

Jaime, mind to hand to keyboard. Well written.

And you have an awesome name...Jaime is one of my favorite characters in A Song of Ice and Fire series. He's a handsome knight who overcomes challenging obstacles and develops in mental perception, oh, and posesses incestuous tendencies. Yep :)

Thank you.

And cool, I never really hear of anyone with the same name as me. If I wasn't a girl, I would love to be a handsome knight (minus the incestuous tendencies, of course).
