Is there an age that is to young to fall in love?

Question

I'm dating the love of my life and I know it. But, there are tons of people that are telling me that it is fake or not going to last. I have liked my boyfriend and only my boyfriend for as long as I can remember. He is the only guy I have ever had a crush on or liked. He is the best person I know. He is so nice, awesome, funny, and adorable. He has helped me change in a good way. We started dating in 7th grade, and I can't imagine being with anyone else and I can't imagine him being with anyone else either. We have planned our future together, and I can't imagine not living out those plans. My Mom has told me since we started dating that at some point we had to breakup, we had to date other people, but I can't do that. I can't not have him with me. For the record he feels the same way he has told me. So, what do I do? And am I too young to have already fallen in love?

The capacity to love is something that all human beings, regardless of age, can experience. You're most definitely not too young to fall in love. However, your emotional and cognitive development is still in progress, meaning its easy to confuse butterflies in your stomach with actual love at your age.

People, especially the ones below or above me, clearly dont understand that maturity is not measured by age. I'd suggest giving yourself a little test: check if you're disciplined and mature enough to truly understand what love feels like. If you're sure about your feelings and both you and your partner envision a future together, then it might be worth exploring. But be aware, taking on a relationship, especially at your age, is a bit like taking a big gamble. It could lead to a beautiful future, or things might not work out, and it might take a while to recover. It's a big deal.

In conclusion, take a good look at whether both you and your boyfriend are mature enough. Have a logical conversation about your future together, not just relying on emotions. Then, decide if you want to take this journey together.

Hope this helps...

Well, I don’t think there is an age too young but just that you will not, most likely, be the same person in a decade that you are now. As you change so too do your needs (and his).

Not to minimize what you have, in fact many people never get to say they fell in love, but it’s easy to say “so and so is the best person I’ve ever met” (out of your high school of 1,000 people) but then you go to college and have 10,000 people to encounter, then hit the real world and start to meet people with parallel work, interests, and such and start to form some very different connections.

Is it possible you met your life’s true love at 17? Sure. It’s possible. It’s just not probable.

You can fall in love, personally never have. It’s just that most young love crashes and burns because ideals don’t actually match. New Couples that start to live together see another side of each other (not always the greatest) have small to large fights and break up. Or they grow weary of one another and one cheats, or they were always this way or it’s financial problems.

Not everyone’s the same. You do you. If it works, it works, if it doesn’t…you can move on and find someone better. But if y’all are 2 peas in a pod then go do your thing.

I've got 2 sisters that have dated the same boyfriend since they were in high school and years later both those couples got married. My experience is if you can crush at any age, then you can surely love at any age.

If I had to cite a minimum age for falling in love, I'd say 18

No, it happens. Just be aware that you and him may both change over time into different people. People's lives change. That doesn't mean it can't work, though. Two of my parent's friends were married since they were 16 and 18 in 1963, c they are still married today. It can work. I haven't seen them since my mom died in 1997 but they were already 34 years into the marriage, still totally in love. You could tell just by the way they looked at each other and talked to each other.

If someone is too young to take care of kids and a spouse, then that person is too young to be in love. So it all comes down to how capable and mature the two people are.

Yes, the earliest age is when you start to think you're so old your genitals don't work anymore.

You can but a person changes a lot with time and circumstances but you gotta experience it first hand to understand that narrative.

Not per se, but kids and teenagers have no idea what love really is. That realization doesn't come till much later in life.

sheikalana · Answer

Any age above 18.
