I believe that it is possible to love someone at that age. But to know wether or not it REAL you have to wait it out. Even if you have to let the person go for a time to see if you come back together when you get older. I know i've been through it. I was told at 16 that i was too young to be in love. I knew that i loved him. But it was not until we were well into our 20's that we got together, and relized that it was real.
Don't let your feelings get in the way of logical thinking. You a whole lifetime ahead of you. Wait it out. If it's still there for the both of you in the future, then it's love. For right now. Be best friends!

I would say it depends on the people involved and their maturity. Some people can be mature enough for love at 16 and others are never mature enough. My wife and I met when she was 17 and I was 18. We have been married for 37 years and have 7 happy and well adjusted children and a great relationship. I don't know if longevity of a relationship is a definition of "true love" but true love certainly helps you get there.
One thing I would like to note. There is no rush to find love and if you have to ask whether or what you are experiencing is then I would guess it isn't.

At this age you really do not know what true love is so understand that it's just attraction, infatuation or a crush. You will understand when you get older and learn what true love is really all about. Enjoy your youth, enjoy life and have fun. Love takes a lot of time to develop. Don't waste your time trying to figure out if you're in love or not. Time will show you the way and you will know when you really feel the love you deserve and it will reveal itself in due time.

There is nothing called true love in this world ,other than the bond between the mother and her children.
All other types of love is puff love or attraction or even reliability and dependence lol.16-18 yes yes mostly attraction,it is a time of raging hormones and every 5-10 seconds guys think of sex lol.So yeah its attraction in most cases.Im not saying there is nothing called LOVE,there is only the individuals of the couple can determin their love and analyze it.

Attraction

It all depends on the person. Did you ever feel like this for anyone else? Some people do fall in love at that age. There have been people who fell in love at that age, and stayed married for the rest of their lives...Of course they didn't get married at the age of 16-18! ;) Let's not rush things. If it works out, then it works out. If it doesn't then it wasn't meant to be. Don't be stupid, and try to sobatoge a good thing. I know people who do that...And they regret it.

you wouldn't know if it's true love unless you get hurt so badly...if it's so easy to let go and not get so affected with the break up, probably it's just infatuation, crush or attraction...
love doesn't choose age...
if you're 16-18, you would question if it's true love and what about when you're 58-60, will that still be true love or for life security?

It's just as true as the love between two 50 year olds if it's based on more than just looks and is mutual. It's chances of survival are more limited because at such a young age, you have way more attractive options and possibilities before you. These get narrower as you get older (hence, the term 'baggage').

I guess it really depends whether the couple is very willing to be responsible for each other and whatever they do together. Age doesn't directly matter in relationships, it just has a large impact on your experience and maturity. I'd probably say it was attraction, because of that, but I could be wrong depending on the person.

true love starts with attraction. You don't need to be in a hurry to grow up and you have plenty of time to spend with this person to see how the relationship develops. Who's to say you won't be together for a long time? Just don't rush things too fast, enjoy this person's company and see where it goes.
Good luck!
