You are most likely confusing love with infatuation. You can be infatuated with someone at any age, even as a toddler. My brother was infatuated with my neice who was the flower girl at my wedding. He was the ring bearer. He was certain that she was suppose to be his girl and even told her he wanted to marry her. They were only 2 years old. You don't fall in love and you don't fall out of love either so there isn't any way to put an age limit on it. You do things with a person that you are infatuated with for a period of time and your feelings grow toward that person. When those feeling have grown immensely to the point that you cannot live without them in your life and are willing to let eveyone and everything else go in your life to make a committed relationship with that person until death do you part, then that is love. And, it will last forever too if that person also loves you with the same commitment. We know we are truly in love with someone when we are willing to die to our own desires for theirs. When we are willing to give 100% of us to them all the time to make the relationship a good and lasting one, then we are in love, and you just don't fall out of that type of love either. People that say they are in love and then cheat or abuse their one true love, never really loved them genuinely at all, in the first place. They were just infatuated and the feelings wore off. That is called selfish love or self centered love and it always ends. Genuine love WILL NOT do anything to harm or hurt someone else. Genuine love is always faithful. Genuine love is always sincere. Genuine love is consistent. It doesn't turn on today and off tomorrow depending on your mood. It grows more every day and never stops growing if it is really genuine. It is giving and willing and cooperative. It is sincere and honest and open. That is the meaning of genuine. I know because I have been in genuine love with my guy since 3 months after I met him in my Senior year of high school. We dated for a year, were engaged for 2 years and then married. I was a virgin because we didn't want to do anything to harm each other or our relationship before our marriage. We have been married now for over 35 years. It has not all been easy but our genuine love has carried us through and kept us faithful to each other all this time, and we are both more in love now than we were when we met which is how it should be with genuine love.

Well, I know I'm only 14 but I know for a fact that I was in love once with someone and I am now in love with someone else. I feel that only the people who are able to distinguish between true love and just just being highly infatuated with someone are able to fall in love. My first love was 17 and my love now is only 14.
