I dated a guy for about six months. We would always say 'I love you' to each other. We'd say it on the phone and once my mom heard it and told me that I didn't really love him. It was just 'puppy love'. Now I'm trying to figure something out. When two teenagers date for months and say 'I love you' it's puppy love, but when two adults date for a few moths and say 'I love you' it's real love. I don't understand how there's an age limit on love. I may be only 15, but still, I can love someone. I just don't understand why nobody believes it, but they do with adults.

Okay, I don't understand what the first guy means. ' i don't know what love really means'? Then how do adults? If a girl, at age 15, doesnt know what love is, how can you be sure I will in the future. And whats love anyway? Someone who's always there for you, treats you with respect and gives you happiness? Or just 3 little words guys say to girls to get in there pants?

Truth be told at age 15 you do not know enough about love so most would call it puppy love. As you age and reflect back at your younger years you will call it the same

I'm in the same situation, my boyfriend and i have been together for about have a year know. And everyone is happy that we are together but they also call it "puppy love". But you have to realize that there is no age limit in love. They call it puppy love because they think that we cant say we love each other at this age By the way i am 14 in a half. But back to what i was saying. They also think that we aren't mature enough to handle things like love. But as long as you know that you love that person and you love him inside and out. Then don't let it bother you. That's what i had to realize for my self. I hope my advice helped you. And if you need any more help my email( i have two) they are"foxyash92@yahoo.com"
or "mrs.branch06@yahoo.com" We can help each other out. GOOD LUCK AND STAY BLESSED, ALSO PRAY ABOUT THE SITUATION.

Puppy love just means your feelings no matter how real are unexperinced and, no I don't mean physically. What grown ups call "real love" means you have been inlove a thousand times and are still sure he is the one. It means you have had your heart broken but, you still want to chance trying to love him. It means if you went to school tommorow and everyone (Heaven forbid!) had turned their backs on him and you for being with him you would still hold his hand while they pelted you with garbage because, he is the one. And, no Iam sure if he says it he feels strongly for you too, that isn't a reason however to rush into anything!If you two feel as strongly as you think you do, you have all the time in the world. Some steps change you and there is no going back.
Respect yourself, respect each other and, remember grown ups really do understand more then we seem to, we just don't always express it well! Try to be patient with us! We have the best of intentions and don't mean to be insensative!

Why your mum said its puppy love, coz you will face lots of falling in love moment start from now on. This guy is maybe your first love, but you too small to understand the real situation about love and responsibility. Maybe you do understand about love but not responsibility. You easily been in love and easily forget the breakup. The relationship is more on being together and enjoy yourself. No string attached thinking about future and plan about future. If you do too, others still have to decide by the parents. Coz your mind and your opinion is still more on young generation opinion. Not accurate thinking more on your future. That's why your mum or anyone would just label that love is a puppy love.

Don't look at it like people or adults are telling you how to feel. It's just that when you are older. Love is looked at in a different light. When older people look at love it's serious. I mean your 15 your not looking at this guy as a potential husband, a man that you can spend the rest of your life with. A man that can support you emotionally and financially. Puppy Love is a cute expression. Beside you don't want just any kind of Love you will one want a man's unconditional love.

When kids at age 15 begin to say "I love you" they are just imitating things they have heard adults say. That is why it is called "puppy love".
Adults who have been through many relationships and friendships have "experience" and sometimes know themselves enough to judge whether they are in love or in lust.
Adults frequently make relationship mistakes even with experience.
Teenagers need to have "puppy loves" in order to gain experience but it is usually very painful when the relationship ends.
Why do they end so quickly? Because teenagers are young and they fall "in love" quickly. Since they fall in love quickly - they can fall in love quickly with someone else before their "other lover" falls in love with someone else.
Why do teenagers fall in love quickly? Because humans have evolved that way.
You can read about young love throughout thousands of years of literature.
The best thing is to try and live through it and learn from it.
Like it or not you should believe what your mother and other adults tell you about it.
After all -they have lived through it as well.
Just as you at fifteen can tell an eight year old how things work - so an adult can tell you how life works.

I think its love, but that doesnt mean its the sort of enduring love that means you could spend a lifetime with that person. At 15 you arent done growing emotionally or physically.. your mother knows this. I know it.... I remember writing in my diary, at your age, that my boyfriend of the moment was the love of my life, I couldnt live without him... now when I pass him on the street I wonder what I ever saw in him. With adults we are done growing.... the person we have become is mostly how we will remain..... its not like with teenagers,as they have s lot of growth and change yet to come.

I guess she says it because you're too young to recognize real love. An adult who's dated several people before would be able to recognize real love. But I still believe that at 15 you could be in love with someone who you'll love for the rest of your live. It takes only time with the one you love to tell whether its real love or puppy love.

the way I see you have 3 forms of love a million. the affection you have for a kinfolk or pal. desires no motives 2. Lust. Lust is once you purely come across a individual beautiful you don't be attentive to them yet for some reason you choose to purely leap in mattress with them or kiss them. Then the Lust and is long gone and you have not got something. 3. actual love. the affection which you will no longer forget approximately. the affection the place you think of with reference to the guy all the time. You different than your love isn't suited yet you nonetheless love them. you like them for how they make you experience or the guy they help you become. Its a deep bond between 2 human beings. it could't be completely defined.

I think Puppy love is love but it is young love. People learn about love as they grow so that as adults they can have a healthy relationship with someone and with their children. When I was that age I found that love was either hot or cold. Either you love them or its over and you hate them.
