He asked me to our high school dance. So we've been texting non stop, and we always tease and flirt but there's just this feeling I have that isn't regular for me. He says things that are so corny and cheesy that it just makes me smile. So a week has past by and i constantly think about him! Every time I think about him, I just want to be with him. And when I'm with him, I wanna spend every minute that I can with him. We laugh together and listen together music together and we just enjoy each other. He makes me laugh and smile and laugh. I really like him and I know he likes me. But I'm just wandering if you can fall in love at this age? (15)

 EVERY 15 year old falls in love - it almost always turns out to be an infatuation, but it feels like pretty much the same thing.

 Hah! You can! My parents did at 15 & they've been together ever since--I don't think they ever broke up while they were dating. They went to college after high school and then got married. Doesn't happen very often, but you never know...

 Sure you can fall in love at 15, in fact it's sort of mandatory, if I'd ever meet a girl your age who is not in love, probably I 'd worry and alert her school psychologist :)
If " falling in love " is the very same as actually loving someone, and how many chances has such a young love to stand the test of time, that's all another debate. But , no need to put the cart before the horses, for the moment just enjoy the butterflies in your stomach and be happy .

My ultimate moment was when he chose me to walk hand in hand to the Xmas Party and sit next to me to watch the pantomime afterwards.That was it though, he flew home with his family in the new year, I managed to say goodbye but I have never seen him since.
So , yes at 15, why not,just be very careful with your heart but at the same time - enjoy it.

Numerous girls have done so before you. And MANY guys have done so before me.
Take a chance with this guy. If he's worth the love you think he is. He'll be everything you want. But if he doesn't give that love back. He isn't the guy for you.
I wish you the best of luck. I am sure things will go well with him. Don't rush things though (i know numerous girls that have done things at 13/14 let alone 15) so take it as it comes. If the guy is interested in love, he'll understand anyways.
Good luck

 Well it certainly feels like love doesn't it! :) Depends on your definition of love really... see I believe that in order to truly "love" somebody, that you have to truly KNOW them first.
Once you know everything about them, their fears, hopes, their quirks, their pet peeves, what they hate, what they love... once you truly know them, accept their flaws and love them anyway can you classify it as love.
But that's just me.
Right now you're infatuated, but I wouldn't call it love. Some teenagers get offended when they get told that what they feel isn't love, I know I did and I certainly thought my high school girlfriend was my one true love, but looking back, it really wasn't. It was just the closest that I'd come to love, so how was I to know the difference. Its normal and just one of those things that will become clearer as you get older.
So instead of saying that you're not in love, how about we just classify it as "young love"... still love, but with a dash of idealistic romanticized innocence and nativity.
Its a beautiful thing really, enjoy it :)

It is difficult and ill-advised to do so during puberty because those emotions are so often and easily clouded by the heady haze of hormones that it makes it hard to tell the difference between natural urge and love.But I would never be so arrogant as to say a 15 year old cannot love. Or that they can't understand what love is.Love has nothing to do with age... age just helps us to understand how to deal with it... but a lot of the time even age doesn't help. Most still struggle with emotions until the day they die of old age.Flynn 24
