We don't really have attraction to other people until we are at least of some age. And we don't have the veiwing experiance to know what love is. But my great grandma was in love with her new boyfriend until the day she died at 103 years of age. So love has no limits in that direction!

i do not think that you can be too young to be in love, but i do think that you can be too young to act on that love. i know plenty of high schoolers that are 'in love' with their boyfriend or girlfriend, and for some of them i believe that this is really love and not lust. but being 'in love' in high school leads to some very unwise decisions, like having sex before marriage and getting pregnant. so yeah i think that you can be in love at any age, it's just you must know how to handle yourself while you are young and in love. i have a friend who is 16 and engaged, and i firmly believe she is in love but i also believe that she should wait until after high school to make a decision about getting married, because just because you love someone of the opposite sex doesn't mean that you should marry them, because there is a special type of love felt for a spose that i think you do not learn to discern until after you become an adult.

Obviously there must be some sort of limit on being in love. I'm not even sure if I agree with your newborn analogy. While I love my live-in nieces and nephews more than pretty much anything I can think of, and it made my heart almost burst everytime they smiled up at me when babies, I'm not sure how capable they actually were capable of loving me.

Being in love is very different than loving or even loving someone a whole darn lot. There is no definite age for being able to understand this, as you can be middle aged and still be too immature and/or selfish to understand the complexities of being in love. You can be very young but mature enough to understand it. As a genralization I'd say 15 is an age where the people I've known had been youngest when they were first in love.

In my personal experience, I had to go through believing I was in love when it turned out I had myself fooled in order to truly understand being in love more. But that's just me because I'm pretty stupid.

Regardless, you might not want to worry so much about knowing whether or not you understand how to properly label yourself. As you've said, you're young. There's no reason to rush into anything, so just enjoy WHATEVER it is you have. If you really like being with someone: be with them and leave it as that. Just remind yourself that you ARE a little inexperienced and you should play it by ear; no reason to make yourself believe this person is your other half.

You DO seem to be pretty bright and introspective so you probably able to understand the ideas of love more than others who are young. But I was also an introspective ninny when I was younger and while I was pretty confident that I had the ideals of love down, it turned out that a lot of it was more complicated than I thought, and all the rest was way simpler than I thought. So you never know. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Learn by doing (but be careful), and just do what feels best.

I undersatand where everyone is coming from,it is ovious that some younger people have no clue evn the concept of love, but alas, that can not be said about all youth. I don't think some people relize that young people could unterstand that feeling, but i think they are just underestimating them. I don't think people should have a say in the age restriction of love, it is not there choice. It is the the choice and feeling of the two people in question. Maby my oppion too biased as i am only 15. But you have to admit that it is not your choice if it is real love or not.

You can love someone at any age, and be in love at any age. Love is different for everyone. No one can say you can't be in love because you're 'too young.'

I agree with a lot of your opinions although I believe you can fall in love at any age!!! Why?? Because love is an emotion just like you feels sad, happy, and angry?? Can you tell yourself when to feel sad? No can you honestly say to your heart I'm sorry heart but I feel we're too young to be in love!!! Love is like any other emotion it can happen at any age and there is no way you can control it!!! Sure you say no I'm not in love or you can push people away but either way you look at it you can not hide from your heart and you can't control what your heart may feel regardless if you think you’re too old or too young!!!!

Everyone wants to feel that feeling to be wanted to be needed!!! Some of us never feel that but for those of us who do we know it's an amazing feeling that can happen at any stage in your life!!!

Me for example I'm sixteen and I'm in love I've known this guy since like grade one and it just got more serious can you honestly tell me I'm to young to love? I can tell you the ups and downs we've had in our relationship how we almost ended up 6 feet under just trying to come to see me!!!

Another example most of you are saying to "Teenagers are to young to feel love” Okay but what about this your grandmother is lets say 80 her husband just died a few years ago and she talking to an old friend or maybe a new friend. He makes her feel wonderful kind of just like your grandfather did are you going to tell her? She to old to feel love I think not!!!

So you can be in love at any age!!! God never said there was an age limit on love!!!
