Kind of young to be in 'love'. I'll be brutally honest here; your chances of lasting till say, high school / beyond high school are probably very slim. I mean, it could happen, but chances are it won't. Ahh, what am I saying. It won't work.
But that doesn't mean to go and dump him this instant.

I dated the same "girl" from 6th grade through my junior year in high school - steady. I was SURE she was the one. Luckily for me, she wasn't because my wife now is ten times the woman she was. Just be yourself, be honest and communicate. Life is long. Love is whatever you think it is at that time and what most older (maybe not more mature) people mean when they doubt your feelings is that this is the LOVE that will last for you in a life-long healthy and mutual relationship. Maybe it's not. Hell, maybe it is. No one really knows and far too many people give in to peer pressure and materialistic popularity to admit true love in the first place.
I'll tell you this much - love and sex have nothing to do with each other. What I mean by that is you can love, really love some one and NEVER have sex with them because its not right and you're not mature enough to handle its implications.
How do I know this - that same girl I dated well she and I never crossed the sexual line and to this day I am sure my fondest childhood memories are of simply kissing her on a dirt hill behind her house. When you love someone kissing may not be all you want - but it will be all you need.
Good luck!

Um...Well I have been really cold and all lately b'cuz i think love stinks but Ima have to say that it is possible. Maybe not that quick but only the two of you could ever know. And as far as other ppl saying no way and how you wont know each other in a few years and stuff like that, it's not true. I meet this one boy in the 7th grade adn now we are in the 11th. I have moved three rimse since and we still talk all the time. We even did the whole long distance relationsip thing but decided to hold off until graduation. But we are crazy about each other and all of our freinds know it, we pretty much consume each others lives...its adorable.

What you have is called puppy love. You are def not old enough or have enough life experience to be ^in love^ but you can most definately be in lust/puppy love if that makes sense to you. You have to start somewhere and yes you can still be crazy about each other in 8th grade but dont expect to get married, just know you two are having fun, discovering new emotions together & only have eyes for each other for now. But just stay in the moment & have fun being a kid. Once you start High School you both will meet new people & who knows you may still stay together, but only focus on your having fun with each other now! Life goes by way too fast!

Its possible it sure does feel that way when your young. And it hurts just as bad when you lose someone then as it does when your older if you guys break up and you really are in love. But the thing is you dont really know just give it some time. At that age I dated a guy for a year and then i was just ready to move on. Most people are like that and you start wanting freedom. But there are those people that stick together. You've only been dating for 3 months tho. Just give it time and dont take things too fast.

Yea of course. It's Possible. I feel in love with my fiancee in 7th and 8th grade, but we did no go out until the 11th -12th grades in high school. But the more we talked and everything the more we fell in love with each other. Were 19 and 20 now and have been dating for almost 3 Wonderful years. We have never argued or got in a fight with each other. And a couple of months ago he asked me to marry him. Were so excited.

I think you will not know if its love for a while. Being so young, you really haven't experienced such strong feelings before, so perhaps in the future if you are with someone else, you will see that this 8th grade romance was really just the strongest you had ever felt for someone, but not as powerful as what you may feel in a relationship when you are older. Though I have friends who said I love you in 9th grade and we are in our 3rd year of college and they are still together, so you never know!

For how long? It is unlikely that you will be together by the end of this year, let alone at graduation, let alone in college and beyond. Ostensibly, both of you have a ton of growing as people to do, and these changes will likely lead to you growing apart.
If you want to keep him, I'd start putting out ASAP, and get pregnant. That will trap him into staying into the relationship. That old gag always turns out well.

Sorry, but it is not.. Actually you don't know what is love, so there is no real asnwer for this question. Actually I loved when I was in 10th grade for year and a half. But it is still what I only thought of.. If you will be with him for your whole life or at least 10 years, then you may think of it. Don't take it serious.

You probably do love one another, HOWEVER in the next 12 yrs you both will change in the way you think, and more than likely in your morals and values, when this happens feelings change.
At any rate neither of you are ready for the responsibilities of sex and marriage seeing neither of you have your own transportation,jobs, a place to live etc.
