i know what u mean exactly. i have a friend and we've known each other for a long time so sometimes he'll use the term 'ill luv u forever if you.. ' but only bc we know we love each other as friends, but now ppl use it in situations like " i'll love you forever if u give me a bite of that chocolate bar". i hate it. that kinda thing annoys me so much. but i dont agree that teens cant love at all, it is somewhat rare but not entirely impossible

 

[chisnpeke]

hmmm okay well i kinda agree and kinda disagree.
obv. your friend takes everything too far.
and at 12/13 you REEALLY don't know much about relationships or love or whatever.

but i believe you can be in love more than once.
like real romantic love. i mean, why couldn't you be.

i tod my BF I loved him after we'd only been dating for TWO MONTHS and I was only 16 (i know riiiight) but you know what, I still feel the same now as I did then, so I didn't not mean it before just because we hadn't been dating for a year.

I told an ex-boyfriend that I loved him as well, and I meant it.
I don't love in anymore, you can fall in and out of love. (IMO at least)

Your friend obviously doesn't know what REAL love is yet. But love means different things at different ages/times in your life i guess.

I know exactly what you mean. I told my ex boyfriend that I loved him after like a month of dating him (I was 16 at the time as well)...again... and I still loved him after two years. I just fell out of love with him and no longer love him, but I still care about him.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

No I'm sorry, that's wrong. Trust me, teens can love. I have.

When you're in love, those 3 simple words just mean the world to you. When you know that that other person feels as strongly as you do. When you know that you truly, deeply love someone. Almost nothing means more than those words.

So, when you have really been in love, it's easy to distinguish real love with that 3 week love between kids. They might be the same words, but they don't mean the same things.

I'm not sure many of you will understand what I'm saying, but I'm sure a few of you will.

I completely agree.

It's just when people are gushing about being madly, deeply in love with their boyfriend of two days, it gets annoying.
You're in LIKE, not in LOVE.
They need to work on their word choice.

 

[LoveGoofy91]

No
Im the one embarrassing MYSELF.

I am actually quite a mature 7th grader for my age.
Not by smarts, but by the way I behave.

Im the only one that screams "MY GOSH, YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

haha I completely agree with you, I don't think you're embarrassing yourself. They'll regret it later and you're going to be able to have people believe you when you say you're in love. Trust me, my friends and I do the same thing. You're not in love shut uppp and they look at us like we're crazy :]

 

[MrsSparrow..]

Yeah, the "love" word is thrown around too much. I've always said to myself I will never tell a guy I love them unless I actually heartfelt mean it.

But I tell my friends I love them etcc just like saying bye just be like "love youuu".

And all that Clique dating, kinda makes me glad we don't have that at my school. T'is shallow!

i believe teens can be in love. i'm 14 and have been with my bf for 2 months and i am truly in love with him. we have that relationship that just clicks. but we were best friends before anything, and i know everything about him. we've helped eachother through really hard times, and seen eachother at our best and worst. he's always there for me and im always there for him.

 

[Thumbs18]

I dated my x-bf for 7 months and I honestly DID love him. . . so I kinda take offence to the "Teens can't love" thing. And he loved me back. Now the guy I'm with and I have only been dating for a month and he tells me he loves me. I don't think it's wrong at all if he means it bc honestly I feel the same way. He and I have been best friends for a while so I know he wouldn't lie about it and I wouldn't lie to him about it. There is no set level of emotions that a teenager can reach. Everyone feels differently about different ppl. I have 2 of my friends who are seniors like me and are engaged. R u telling me they can't love? If you're like OMG I'm totally in love with you to a guy/girl you've been dating for a week then hey if you feel it more power to ya! However in MY opinion 12 and 13 yr olds aren't technically "dating" either. U can't really "date" until u can go out on a date (like when you can DRIVE!) Any way im not trying to sound rude or make anyone mad thats just how I feel about this

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I agree. Love take's longer to happen than 5 minutes, 1 week, or even 1 month IMO. When I had a boyfriend, he would always say Love you! I wouldn't say it back because 'I love you' are special words.

 

[Thumbs18]

Like I said when you say I love you then yeah they are special words but if you really feel that way then say it. It doesn't matter how long you've been together if you feel like yuo love someone then there is nothing wrong with saying it! Even if it has only been 1 month IMO. And as far as how long it takes for love to happen. . .it doesn't take forever. Love can honestly happen in an instant. You also hafta factor in how long the lovebirds in question have been friends or have liked each other and how well they know each other. Like I said b4 2 of my best friends have been with their now fiances for over a year and they knew that they loved them when they first started dating. Me and my bf have been friends over a year and we've been there for each other thru a lot. He loves everything about me and I love everything about him. To say "I Love You" to him is my choice, my emotion, and I feel offended by ppl saying that I can't love him bc I am just a teenager. How do you know what other ppl feel? When you know how other ppl feel then I think you should say you can't say I Love You or not. Not trying to be mean.

Her saying that teens can't love has alreadly been addressed if you would read the whole thread. Nobody is attacking your definition of love, you shouldn't attack theirs either.

Love is a very tricky thing as, I think, it means different things to different people.

I didnt mean it like that.
Thats what I said, but then...ahg.

Its sort of complicated matters.
You can love someone, oh yes, but the point is...are you still together now? Even so, i feel like the relationships aren't mature at the point enough to say "Yes, this is it, im in it for real, im going to spend the rest of my life with this significant other"

Does that make any sense at all?
I mean.. its hard to explain how I feel about "teenage love" i mean, i do believe teens can love, but i don't believe they can love...

Im getting a headache because I don't know how to word it just right.

 

[Thumbs18]

I wasn't trying to attack anything anyone said sorry if it sounded that way. I DID read the whole thread I was just stating my opinion like everyone else. But as far as me and my x not being together anymore that doesn't mean I didn't LOVE him. I did (and sadly part of me still does). As for teenage love it depends on how mature the 2 ppl are with their relationship. I am capable of LOVE not just that teenage romance chick flick thing. I do LOVE my bf and I don't honestly know how long we will be 2gether . You CAN fall in and out of love. Just bc u say "I love you" to someone it doesn't mean that you will marry that person for sure. Do I love my bf yes I do. Do I think I will be with him for the rest of my life? The way things are going I sure hope so!

One of her friends she is talking about is me. I've been engaged to my gf for almost 8 months and we've only been together for a year and a month and a half. Yes, if you're wanting to know I am a girl. So honestly I know completely why my friend is taking offense to the post and the same thing as me, I too take offense to it. Honestly, if you've been through a lot of different relationships, had different people walk in and out of your life you know what you want in people and yes some are lucky to find that person before they reach their 20s or 30s. Some people won't meet that person till their 60 too, but honestly when you fall in love it doesn't have an age limit. Think back to the times when you were like 8 years old and you had a crush on a boy from school, you thought you loved him, but honestly you didn't. You feel completely different now, than what you did back then. I'm sorry that some of you that disagree with this post, but that's because maybe you haven't been through what some of us have, to reach the spot we have in our relationships where we actually do love someone. You'd do anything to make that person happy, you'd take a bullet for them just so they'd get to see how their life would turn out. You want to spend every minute you possibly can with them because you never know when they can be taken away from you. Trust me, I've been there and done that. Now, I'm with the most amazing girl ever and I love her with all my heart.

 

[DramaQueen]

I think people may be reading too much into Mouse's statement...she wasn't out to offend anyone and like she said, she didn't really mean it that way.

congrats on your engagement though to the above poster^^
honestly, i would be engaged right now too if i wasn't in school probably!!!

[3mtn-kate]

There's only one instance where I've even remotely felt like I could be in love. And I'm not even sure that's what it was. I'm 14, and I think that teenagers can completely have really strong feelings for each other, but I'm not sure I would call it love.

And I've never told anyone that I loved them, and only one guy has told me he loved me then proceeded to move his hands lower down my back so I'm not sure "love" it really what he had in mind.

I don't believe I will truly fall in love until I'm older, I totally accept that and I'm fine with it. I have a friend who believes she is in love with her boyfriend. I don't believe her because I have heard her say that about the last 4 guys she's dated.

Love it relative, your love can be another person's like.

 

[K-Shong99]

I really hate when people date for 3 seconds and are in love.

Sounds like a lot of people know.
Love has lost it's meaning.

I like the quote:
People say hate is a strong word, but so is love, and people throw it around like it's nothing.

I think that's really true.
Most teens have no clue what true love is.
They are just in very deep "like".

I'm not trying to offend anyone or anything, but I know I'm not in really deep "like". Although, I am 17. I've been engaged before and realized it was a complete mistake. Except for this time, Katlyn is the love of my life. We both knew it from the very start. She means the world to me, and I mean the world to her. We've been through some really hard times, I've almost lost her twice, once was a car wreck and she was in a coma and the other was because she was stabbed. When she gets hurt, I feel it. I definitely know I am in love with her.
