Why do people say "Love at the age of 16 or 17 is just an infactuation"?

Answer 1

Because someone at the age of 16 or 17 does not know themselves enough to know what they want in life, let alone know that someone shares the same ideals and goals.
Also, someone that age does not have enough life experience or maturity to really handle a serious long-term relationship.

Answer 2

I don't know. First I need to find out what the hell an infactuation is.

Answer 3

It may not seem like it at the time but it is you realise that when you get older, there is loving someone and being in love with someone two different things but the world would be a better place if we all felt this way all the time.

Answer 4

Because you have not been thru all the trials and tribulations of an adult. You don't know how that person is going to act in most situations, you probably don't even know their mom's middle name or where she was born. Some "love" is infatuation well into later years. It's not always love, just lust!

Answer 5

i dont think there is any age of luv
it can happen 2 anybody at any time
n luv cannot b mistaken for infatuation
if it is a crush it will get over in a week or 2 but if it doest end maximum by a year then theres no mistaking LUV!!!

Answer 6

i've never heard anyone say that. the next time you hear someone say that, promptly inform them that "infactuation" is not a word.

Answer 7

b/c most teens this age don't have the life experience to know what love is.

Answer 8

it depends actually on the situation and the feelings of the people

Answer 9

because usually once the "honey moon" phrase is over, you will dump the person.

Answer 10

because they're idiots. Love is ageless.
