in your opinion, is it possible to love a partner when you are very young, 14, 15 or 16?

Answer 1

Sure, you can have a partner, a science partner, a partner in pratical jokes, a best friend that you always choose as your partner on assinments in class. But if you are referring to a romantic partner I say no. Because at those ages, kids are just playing at being adults. They see older siblings or friends dating someone, and they figure they should be doing it too. But it doesn't really work out that well because they don't know what a relationship is really about and at such young ages they don't know how to appreciate someone that wishes to hear about their day, and love them and take care of them. There are also much deeper emotions that need to be felt and realized as well. But young children don't have the capacity to feel them at such a young age. So again its more like play acting again. I personally think kids should be kids and get their education out of the way before going too deep into relationships. They are only confusing and a waste of time for someone that doesn't know the purpose of what a real relationship is.

Answer 2

I personally think it is. I met a guy when I was 14, we ended up going together for 11 years, were engaged and had a house together. It was the real deal and although we're not together any more, we're still the best of friends. The only thing I think can go wrong (as it did for us) is that we grew apart as we grew older. We ended up wanting different things. But its definately possible to fall in love at a young age x

Answer 3

I believe it's possible to feel like you're in love. But the term 'in love' has very different meanings to a 14 yr old and a 24 yr old. When you are older, love means complete and total trust, being able to rely on each other, knowing you can spend eternity together, putting them before yourself. These are things that a 14 yr old simply CAN'T comprehend. No matter how hard they try. As you get older, you continue to learn. A 24 yr old doesn't understand things the way a 34 yr old does, etc, so on and so forth.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe that ones concept of love is very sensitive at that age. I know personally of a couple that met at 14 and are still in love and have 2 daughters in there twenties.
I believe that the negative attitude to monogamy and the "throw away culture" makes it easier to give up on a relationship rather than to try! I think that the perception of love to a young person is a lot less tainted than most 30somethings.

Answer 5

Yes
You love a partner in a 14, 15 or 16 year olds way.
Can it last? yes again.
If you loved someone at 14 and you still love them at 64 it is a different kind of love.
Ok maybe this does not make sense but I know what I mean.
The way you love someone changes with the years but that doesn't mean it isn't still love at any age.

Answer 6

Yes, absolutely. There are many people who will say no, but only you can know the truth about how you feel. When I was 14, I had my first love, and now, 4 years later, I still care about them, and probably always will. You'll know it's true love when you don't have to question how you feel.

Answer 7

I think so, and I am middle-aged. It's just a different kind of love. I think it's real, but most people I know who were in love at that age grew up to marry someone quite different. Enjoy it, and if it lasts a long time, then you really have found someone special.

Answer 8

Yes. I met my first husband when I was 16. We married when I was 21 and were together for 20 years in total..
the age difference[on his part] killed our relationship in the end.

Answer 9

of course, a lady at my work place has been with her partner since they were both at school at 14. They are both now 39 and still happily in love

Answer 10

You can love someone at any age. However, it isn't very realistic for teens to think they are mature enough or experienced enough that love at this stage is one that will sustain throughout a lifetime of work, bills, and stress. It's sweet while it lasts though.
