and they called it puppy love ...whats your views? do you think anyone can ever fall in love as a teenager?
Or is it just simple infatuation (hope ive spelt it right) can you ever know enough about the world as a teenager to fall in love or are teens just having a long crush?

As a teenager, I fell powerfully in love. I know that it is possible. It has also been the majority of the time when people have fallen in love in history. It is the age of love and romance, albeit often very rocky ones, specifically when social factors tear at the relationship.

or are teens just having a long crush?

Is this about getting over it?

Everything you do stays with you, one way or another, no matter what you call it, so take care. Better your head be screwed on than screwed up.

Teenage "love" is hormones raging ...that's all it is, regardless of what any of y'all want to say about your early "love".

And oddly enough, as evidenced by the high rate of divorce, "love" ain't exactly any different in adulthood!

Good ol' lust ....good ol' animal lust. Ain't it wonderful that we can lie about it and make it out to be something different to what it really is? Hmm, ain't that lying?? :)

You're telling me friend, LMAO :-)~

Poor Baron - never experienced actual love, and can't distinguish love from lust.

notice the "10" newbie number of posts underneath the starter of this thread...oh who could it be...oh who could it be?....:cool:

From what I remember, pre-teen 'love' was the best. It all seemed a lot easier before puberty.

...LOL! And the high divorce rates prove that it's far more widespread than you think, huh, James?? ...LOL!

Oh, it was ...it was!! Then shortly all the shit of the world began to drop onto our heads and shoulders and just fucked up everything, didn't it?! :D

I guess you could say there was one girl whom I really loved. Never told her. I don't think we're even compatible. In reality, it probably never would have worked. But it's the closest thing to that "Tale of Two Cities" kind of love I've ever experienced. You know, the drunk lawyer who loved the woman whose name I don't remember? That was real love.

It's weird... at this actual moment, I'm talking with a girl I dated a while back and she's talking about how she loved me and all this stuff.

It's a rare thing to fall in love as a teenager. I know a coupld who has been dating for some crazy shit like 2 years. Basically about 56 years in teenager years. I think they may be in love. But again its extremely rare.

Teenage puppies fall in love with kibbles n bits all the time. They do not have a crush on kibbles n bits. They crush kibbles n bits when they eat it. More taste more joy!


HERE LOOK!
You can even put money and drugs in it.

So basically I'm supposed to put drugs and money into someone I think I love? :rolleyes:

Teenage love is the best. It's much more optimistic and the future is wide open.

True.

And then you grow up, think back and laugh yourself senseless. Good times and good memories as well as bad ones.:)

You're such a bitter little man.

We are talking about teenagers falling in love. What does the divorce rate have to do with it? You're getting a tad ahead of yourself aren't you?

You're such a bitter little man.

I'm not bitter at all, Bells. I just see things as they are in reality, which few people can or will accept. But then, humans have always been good at lying ...even to themselves.

We lie and tell the little girl that we "love" when in reality all we're trying to do is fuck her brains out. Why don't we just admit it? Why lie about it? And worse, why create a whole silly philosophy in order to validate that lie?

Does anyone think that if you really and truly love a person, you never stop loving that person? I think that's the case for me. This person I know from high school, I think I still love her. I'm not sure it's her that I love however. It's what she represents to me. She's intelligent, funny, has amazing character, is popular, she's brainy, beautiful, not without foibles, and perhaps most importantly, I think she's able to think about and be interested in things that don't directly pertain to herself. Those are all things that I admire in a person... and she has those qualities.

No two people feel love the same way and no person feels love the same way twice.

Love in teenagers is certainly informed by the erotic drive of a strong hormone flow. For someone of my age, it is derived more from a long life of shared identity, rich with things that were not there in the first half and only have meaning for two. But teenage love is also the power of a feeling experienced for the first time, with no understanding, expectations, or reservations.

The first time I heard a rock and roll song, the first time I tasted pizza, the first time a parrot sat on my shoulder, the first time I rode a motorcycle, the first time I spent a night away from home, the first time I saw Los Angeles, the first time I traveled in a foreign country... Falling in love as a teenager was like all of these things combined and then multiplied by a hundred. (Well okay, maybe nothing compares to rock and roll.)

You don't have to "know anything about the world" to be in love. The less you know about the world, the more difficult it is to build a pleasing and enduring relationship, but that does not make it difficult to fall in love. Crush, infatuation, puppy love--there are dismissive terms for feelings that are presumed to be transitory, but no one can tell the lovers how deep their love is.

When you're an adult your adult sensibilities (often but not always) interact with your emotions and you're most likely to be attracted to people with attitudes, interests and other character traits you respect and enjoy. As a teenager who hasn't yet completely formed his own attitudes, interests and other character traits, you're more likely to be caught by more ephemeral traits such as body language and physical beauty (which fortunately is not the same for everybody). So yes, teenagers fall in love, real love. The law of averages says that no matter how randomly those connections are made, a few of them will turn out to be between two people who are well suited for each other. Then all they have to do is get through the remaining trials and tribulations of adolescence--including that pesky hormone thing--with this love intact and they might make a good marriage.

If not, love is still arguably life's most precious experience, regardless of when and how it ends. Some people, like the Baron, are destined for an endless series of short relationships that seem to be primarily about sex, and grow into a strongly singular life. Others eventually match up with one person and surrender much of that singularity for the lifelong adventure of duality. Either way, it's worth doing.
