I know I'm in love, and that it's not puppy love, but I wonder... How young is TOO young to fall in love?

I believe there are many different kinds of love, a lot of different levels. There are also many things (besides emotion) that help a relationship to last or cause it to fail. When your very young, you aren't always able to see that ideal life that you would like to be living. This includes family, a career, a place of residence. Therefore, you can't tell if you and your partner are compatible on that level. You may think you know, but trust me these things change.
That being said, being young and being in love can be one of the most memorable times in a persons life. My advice is just to enjoy it while it lasts, but realize that you are still your own person, and you have a long way to go in figuring out who you are.
I hope this helps!

Falling in love happens all the time. It is a chemical reaction of the brain as it give off endorfins to stimulate attractions for the opposite sex. Some people can fall in love with several person of the opposite sex at once. It is staying in love that is the real thing. Love is just a way to get things started. but if you are in love then real love give it time to see how you really feel. Like 5 years, and if you both think you are still in love then eureaka... you just may have a chance.

You're never too young or too old to fall in love! However under 21, your brain really hasn't stopped developing. Things change, and drastically, in the space of just a few months.
There is something to be said for a long courtship and an even longer engagement.

I don't think its something we have control over. The love of my life and I met when I was 13 years old. We aren't together now (long story) but our feelings are still there. The thing you should be careful of is not losing yourself in the relationship - that can happen no matter what your age is, but its easier to do without knowing it if you are young. Just keep some time for yourself and for things you like to do outside of the relationship and things should be fine.

Too young is when you are still young enough to have other things to complete, like school, career plans, and what ever else you want to achieve. It is also when your actions could end someone in jail. The true test of love is time, if you still feel strongly about a person after you reach an age where you are mature enough and can legally handle a relationship, then go for it.

I think people can fall in real love at age 14. Any younger than that, it IS love, but the two people aren't ready for an intimate relationship. One of my mother's friends has a husband and the two began dating when they were 13 years old. They said, though, that they didn't fall in love until they were 16. I think its really a personal thing.

Well I'm 13, and as insane as this sounds, I went out with a boy for about 3 years...however in middle school he got into the popular crowd, got held back and started doing drugs so what we had just went poof! We started out as best friends before that and I really did care for him a lot.
My friend has been going out with her boyfriend for 2 years...pretty long for an 8th grade couple. Another friend I have who's in the grade below me has been going out with his girlfriend for 3 years, and they were best friends since the 1st grade. My aunt met her husband when they wre 11 and started dating at 15. I believe childhood love is very possible.

13/14
I was in love once, with this guy for about 10 months, we ended up going out but it didnt work, but it took me a long time to get over him. It may of been lust, but to me it seemed like love.
I do believe there are lots of teenage couples together that are in love, it is so easy to call it puppy love, but I have a few friends that have or have seemed to be in complete love.
So i wouldn't say you have to be 21, because love usually happens throughout your teenage years.

you should be 21 or older to know whether or not you are in love i mean that's what i think personally if you are under 21 then it is just puppy love just a little crush but if you are older than 21 then you must know whether you are in love or not so jus remember that love is just a phase and you will realie it when you are older if it is true love or not. I hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

Most people don't typically really know what romantic love is until they are into adulthood...it takes that long to become emotionally mature enough to understand the emotion and what it can mean...
Crushes and infatuations often feel like love, but they aren't the same...many young people claim to be in love but it's not the same as what they'll experience with maturity and some adult relationship experience under their belt...
