So i've heard that you can't really experience "love" and know the "real" meaning of love until you're in your mid 20's - an adult (out of college and in the real world) soo do you think that's true? What do you think? Define "love" in your mid 20's.

I think it's hard to know the type of love that would make for a lasting, lifetime commitment until you've been on your own in the real world. That doesn't mean you can't love, or be in love, but it might mean you're not ready for marriage.
Some people never mature, no matter what their chronological age. Some mature quite young, and some only SEEM mature quite young (as children they might have been neglected or abused, or "abandoned" by divorce or other circumstances). These people can be quite loving and sincere at a young age, seem very mature, and even think they're ready for a family, but often they sort of emotionally short circuit later and it can lead to divorce or affairs, bad stuff, 'specially for the kids that usually come along.

hmmmm, explaining love is hard. It is more than a lust for someone. It is a friendship, a companionship. It's knowing that you can depend on that person, that you have a partner in life and not someone that is gonna walk 10 feet in front of or behind you. It's something that you don't even know what it is until you feel it. I thought I had been in love before, but it wasn't until my fiance that I realized exactly what love felt like. It's an amazing feeling and I was totally blown away with the way it made feel.

I think it's mutal respect & admiration for each other. When you get a bit older, you realize that being with someone who likes you for you but also wants to work towards a common goal with you is pretty important. I wouldn't say that you HAVE to be in your mid-20s to know that though. It comes with dating a few losers and finding out what you want out of life and a partner.

i dont think there is a definition, u know it when u feel it. its an intoxicating feeling. u cant see the person enough, always think of them, want to be with them, start to think about the future with them. i think u can experience love before ur mid twenties, it might not always work out, but it helps u to know what ur looking for so u can find the one. fall in love many times, it will help u know what u want in a spouse.

I belive everyone "knows" what love is, but those under 21 (myself), sometimes can't decifer "who" real love is. Plenty of times have I fell in love, but as I look back, I feel that I have matured and finally "know", "who" and "what" love is. Age shouldn't matter at all. Some of us just mature quicker than others=)

Love is....a jiggly set of t*ts, and a nice firm a-ss.
