At 18 are too young to be calling your love epic?

Question

Is it possible to know at that age that you'll never love someone like you love the person you're with?Is it possible to know you've found your soulmate at that age?Please share your stories.

Answer 1

To answer that question, I'd be honest and say that it is way too soon to know. EPIC implies longetivity and unless you have known this person (boy/girl-next-door or something similiar) all your life and were BOTH always sure you wanted to be a couple and are both MAKING sacrifices to evenutally be together as a married couple, HOW do you know that what you both feel is of EPIC proportions? ONLY time (and PATIENCE) will tell you that for sure. And Sometimes, even going your separate ways and gettnig to know other people in the dating world to appreciate what you had was what it was.

Also, Epic love involves sacrifices that you willingly make (and no, I do not mean giving up School or having babies young). I mean sacrifices for the greater good of your partner to make him a better person and to make it easier on the relationship as a whole. COMPROMISE is the key to keeping it EPIC if you want it to STAY epic. But you also need to Communicate with your man. Let him know you want to stay together for the long haul and that means finding out if he also wants to make it lasts forever.

Too many times, people don't communicate deep feelings (or lack thereof) properly, men tend toward physical closeness and that does NOT mean they LOVE you. You have to talk about those feelings and if you don't and then later find out one of you is thinking something the other totally had NO clue about you will wish you had attempted a discussion.

If it's epic, then in 19 to 29 years or so after you've finished College and or/begun careers, separately or together, did whatever you both wanted to do in life, separately or together, (ie travel, etc) and gotten married and still feel that person is THE ONE and the feeling has grown stronger and the sacrifices you have made greater and yet you have no regrets--then yes the LOVE is truly EPIC and you will both KNOW that it is and you will look back and think I had a clue at 18 but it was nothing as Grand as I thought THIS Love we have now achieved could be.

Answer 2

Personally, I don't think so. I thought I had found "the one" when I was 18, and it crashed and burned, bad. Most people have the same experience. You barely know who "you" are at that point, so how are you supposed to know the person you are with is the one for you in 4-6 years when you become more mature, and start living your life for the first time? My relationship failed. My older sister met a guy at 18-19 area and they got married after college. They were together for a year or two, and then it collapsed because as they both matured, they found they weren't compatible.

Answer 3

Honestly, most people say no and for most situations, 18 is just too young. Maybe you're ready, but what are the odds that both of you are? I got married at 20 and am still married now 12 years later ---- but we consider ourselves to be the exception to the rule and we were lucky.

Answer 4

18 is way to young! you're just starting to live life! get out there and date. experience the world around you. don't settle down until your 30. you're only young once!

Answer 5

as you get older, everything changes, your point of view, your way of thinking, yes 18 is too young, wait til you have a career, live by yourself, mid-twenties, you can date and remember communication is everything

Answer 6

That's kind of hard to answer. unless you've had other relationships to compare it to that's the only way to really know.

Answer 7

yes
