Yes, I definitely believe that 15 year olds can be in love. I'm in love with an amazing man right now. I've been with other people, but no one made me feel the way I do when I'm around him. Every time he comes near me I can feel my heartbeat speed up and start pounding through my chest. I get butterflies in my stomach, and I feel so happy that I'd wish for nothing more in life than to hear him say that he loves me. It's almost as if I could exist purely on his feelings for me. I've been seeing him for a year, and he's stood by me through everything, even when it might be bad for him. He's saved my life, and I would do anything for him. A few weeks ago someone asked me if I loved him enough to die for him, and without even having to think about it I knew I would. I truly believe that what I feel for him is love, even though many people around me would say it's just puppy love, or something of that nature.

15 year olds can love, but later on, they might decide that they aren't IN love. It's a young age, and hormones are changing. One day they might love, then another they hate. Take this from the mouth of a fifteen year old (Me), love can change as quickly as the latest new song, but for some, they can hold on to it for eternity.

Of course they can. The mere fact that somebody have to ask this question is ridiculous. Some times even 40 y olds don`t know what love is. They will only know it when they meet it. All the crap about not being mature is insane. If it is true that even 13 y olds are not mature enough to experience love, means that they can also not love their dog, mother, sister, cat, nature or anything else. You are underestimating kids. Do you actually think they are human?

here is what an ex boyfriend wrote about me...he was 15.
2 weeks after we broke up:
love doesnt know ur age, love is just as serious at 13 as at 67.
when u fall in love you know it. it's amazing
they could look awful. but you see beauty.
to see theyre smile once that day make ur whole day light up
everyday u spend with them is the new best day of your life
when they hug you and look at you in a certain way it gives u butterflies.
you even get butterflies when you find out they wrote you a message
and when they call you your heart skips a beat
they can take your breathe away
and the things they do that other people find annoying, you find cute
when you love a girl, you want to be with her. not get with her.
love turns a simple realtionship into so much more.
by jason for emily because shes the girl i love and i always will even if she doesnt feel the same way back.

I believe so. My boyfriend and I love each other, and are IN love, and yes I do know the difference. We've been together for 4 years, and we're only 16! If I didn't know what love was, I wouldn't have stayed with him long enough to have a baby. Love doesn't have any age limit. But I'm not saying that all 15 year olds do know what love truly is, but it is just as possible as a 35 y/o knowing what love is. Anything is possible. <333

Yes, I first fell in love when I was 15 I'm 17 now and still together with that boy. Sometimes you don't know how to act or how to deal with certain situations, thats the young part, but you learn as you go along, and the feelings grow, and for me it wasn't lust, I was with him for a year before we did anything, because I wanted to be sure that we were together because we loved each other, and I made sure that sex was that last thing to be an issue, and that we had a very close friendship first, and knew each other well.

Fifteen year olds might believe they are in love, and learning to respond to their emotions is just as much part of the growing up process as learning anything else. For most, this 'love' won't have lasting qualities, and looking back in ten years or more, it will seem like infatuation. But love will come one day, and it doesn't have an age tag attached to it.

Since love is an emotion, then yes I think you can be in love at 15. It is easily confused with lust at any age though, think about marriages and long term relationships that break down when one of the pair think they have fallen in love with someone else then want to go back to the wife or the husband once they realise that their affair is based on lust alone. I think once you get older your perception of love changes and you tend to think of young people not being in love but it's all relative really!

Yes a 15 year old can be in love but only if they understand what it is. If they can tell the difference between puppy love, lust or crush, or whatever.

I fell in love at thirteen and I still feel the same way about him. My husband of four and a half years now (I'm twenty two) But if it is truly love then they will be willing to wait until the appropriate time to be together. Good luck I feel the pain of being in love too young!
