K so people say all the time "when you're in love you'll just know it" but people also make comments about "oh you're too young to have that" So...how young is too young? Can you feel like you're in love or be in love at any age? I don't really want a definite answer to this. I'm more looking for opinions than anything else.

You're never too young to feel the yearnings of love, but you need to be grown up enough to handle the responsibility and emotional turmoil that can accompany it. I don't think there IS a definite answer as far as how old you should be, but I think you should be mentally prepared, which does take a few years, and be able to make a serious comittment to one person for the rest of your life.

Learning about love is a part of life's journey. As you get older, you have different views and expectations of love.
A 15 year old does not consider their partner's perceived parenting ability as much as a 35 year old does not consider how well their partner holds hands during lunch break.
As with many things in life, your understanding of love changes as you grow.
How young is too young? It never is. Passion can be there at any age, but your definition of love and passion will change as you do.

age finds no place in "love" because love itself is unlimitless. you learn to love your friends even at age 2 or so. same thing with your love for parents and siblings which most probably is innate the moment you're born. as for the "romantic" notion of love, it's something that you can feel at any age, but your perception of love and the responsibilities that go with it will vary depending on your maturity. that's what they mean when they say "you're too young to fall in love." you can be 15 when you fall in love and yet not be too young to fall in love if you have a clear notion of what commitment is all about. on the other hand, you can be like 35 and still be too young to fall in love if you're not mature enough to handle a relationship. true, there is no hard-and-fast rule to determine whether a person is in love because it's something you don't rationalize, it's something you feel. but it's wrong to say that a person is too young to love because love is not about age, it's about maturity and responsibility.

The word love is general. Love can be at any level of intensity at any age. That means that the "love" you feel during the younger years is still the same with "love" that you feel in the later years. The only difference is how you handle things differently. As you grow older, you take it more seriously because you are well aware of the risks involved.

Love doesn't come with an age it comes with a certain feeling that you've never had before. Age is nothing but a number, love is a very important and special way to feel in life. I think everyone knows what love is when theey feel it.

You are talking about two different things. The first comment usually comes from people who have experienced Love after having already experienced Romance. The second comment is usually believed by people who have not experienced Love, but have had experience with Romance.
Romance feels very much like Love. Romance can be sought and found. Love finds you. Romance always fades. Love does not. An adolescent can feel Romance, but probably is not in a position to recognize Love.
The issue is not age. The issue is being ready. One can feel like they are in Love at almost any age, but Love is a binding force as well as an emotion. If one is not ready to form bonds with other humans (especially to one not related as family), then one is probably not ready for Love.
When a person is ready and Love finds them, they know it. It is powerful and it is real and it lasts forever.

See, first for being in a relationship you need to fulfil some basic requirements.Wait till your an adult because at that time you are mature enough to make responsible decisions.Love is a big responsibility.If you are studying then please wait cause it can interfere.Once your studies are over and you get employed then you can start dating.Relationships require a lot of patience and you can`t afford to waste your student years on it.The bottom line is that you have to well settled and indepedent if you are entering a relationship

i havent been in love, so im not sure. But i think that you are never too young for love. Lots of people end up marrying their high school gfs and bfs. And you must know when your in love, because if u didn't know, people would never get married.

of course you can be in love. in love with life, with god, with a human being, its love is it not? people say that when your young your nieve. you are nieve but a younger person has a much different perspective on love. many teens are all "its love" but really its just lust. but it is possible to have "true love" at a young age. i mean, you love your friends right? you love your parents(maybe not)? what about your dog or cat? you love them right? if you can love someone, you can be in love with someone. its all just a matter of perspective... and who your partner might happen to be...

love is a tricky thing, if your still in school, or if you don't know what you want out of life yet, don't sell your self off to early.
A women can love every man she has sex with, and most often men will love you as long as the sex is good and your giving it up.
Take you time, and love yourself fully first
