Love has nothing to do with age. It is a feeling everyone gets at some stage in thier lives, it just happens at different times for different people.

Also saying that you could just be lusting after this person.

thats abit of a vague question because it depends on how long you have been with someone for and all that sort of stuff and how close you are to someone. but personally yes i think it is possible to be in love at 15 providing you are really close to the person and you can share all of everything with them etc etc and all the stuff that love is :smile:

I've been told its a stupid idea to think I am at 15, But im soo god damn sure of it

Probably, but at that age you can't tell the difference between love and the other myriad of feelings which are very similar.

Just don't get too upset when it ends (yup, "when", not "if"; how many married couples in their thirties do you know who were childhood sweethearts?).

Like HaNzY said "thats abit of a vague question" there are loads of factors which will determine if it's love.

I met my boyfriend when I was 13 and finally got with him just after my 16th birthday. Even after all the time of lust and still didn't realise I was in love until I'd been with him for a few months. And now I know I never want to let him go.

At CommunistHamster: Nope childhood sweethearts are a thing of the past shame! :frown: (but not going to rant on about that lol) But when it does happen it's truely special. *hopes*

I think it is, but it is unlikely that both parties will feel the same, and very unlikely that either party is mature enough for it to work.

thanks all this has helped.

I think it is.

What I think is more dangerous is for parents and people older than them to dismiss such feelings as "childish infatuations" (to coin a phrase from an old school mate who was years ahead of her time.)

When I look back at my teenage years (I'm in my late 20s) I had a huge capacity to love. The only thing that really stands out is that there wasn't anyone around at the time who I could fall in love with.

For older people to dismiss the intensity of feelings only creates barriers.

I don't think so, it's probably more infatuation than love.

I think it's possible to be in love at 15. I think it's possible to love someone at 15. And I think it's possible to fall in love with "the one" at 15. Notice that all these are different. Just as you could fall in love, it's easy to fall out of love. This is often infatuation. I believe we have more than one lovers in our life, so at 15 you might have found your first of many lovers. And last, I believe it's possible to love "the one" at 15. I knew a girl whose parents were together and in love since they were 12.

I think so. But then it depends on your definition of love. A lot of people believe in soulmates and ****, I don't.

Reply 13

Of course it's possible to be in love at 15, but it's probably more likely when you're more mature and 'travelled' (by which I do not mean you've visited Saudi Arabia; rather that you've met more people)

Reply 14

i think its easiest to be in love when you are inexperienced...and content

Reply 15

yes you can. The question is will it last ive been with my bf for a while now (since 16 im now 17) yet tomorrow decides if we will see each other more than once a month for the next year.

It things like that that test a relationship and at our age it unlikely to last as much as i would like it to.

I was in love with the girl I sat opposite to in English, at the age of 8. Possible yes, likely no.

Reply 18

yeah, sure. love is only a feeling so no one can really tell besides you. i experienced love when i was 15. in fact it was probably nicer, you get more jaded as you get older haha.
