i believe it will.

i am currently 14, with someone, i really do believe that i love.

ive been dating this boy for about 7 months now, and everyday i hope it works out until were older.

i question it at times, but i think we all do,

just dont give up.

i was an idiot for even considering letting him go, if you believe that this person that you love will never be replaced nor, will you feel this way with someone else.

i wish you luck, and if we both grow to experience this great adventure. but also. keep yourself slightly open, dont dedicate yourself to one guy, cuz if worst comes to worst, you dont want your heart completely broken. :)

Crisy agony auntHey sweetness.

Well three years ago I met a boy on holiday and I fell in love with him there and then, I was 12 at the time.

He and I lived in separate countries so I couldnt see him.

We kept in contact and a year later he came and visited me, a month after, i went and stayed with him, then a year after he came and saw me again. Now another year down the line and hes coming to stay with us for two weeks.

I'm happy to say my feelings are still as strong as when I first met him, I'm now 16 (:

Hope this helps

Doesn't always work out. But you never know ;)

I am 20 and my gf is 18. Met her whole family.

I will never cheat on her and she was raised right so i know she never will too.

Fell in love a while ago... couple of years now (5 if i remember right... god i hope she doesnt kill me for this.) So around the age of 15!

We know that it will last ;) after all.. we are almost about to be engaged. And of course get along very well.

Well...right now im going through what you are going through. Im 14 and we are in love, it was love at first sight. Ive meet his parents, he has meet mine and we go out on dates, we really think we are in love. Sometimes I think the way your thinking. Like its wrong to give your all and the relationship might end. But if you give your all and if the person that you are in love with loves you the way they say they do then the relatioship should work out. But im not a SUPER ADVICE GIVER but I think that is okay advice... Hope everything works out.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (17 March 2008):

It happens yes, not sure about last but have a distant friend who is still together with his high school sweetheart.

Can't stand him close, the two of them would make Walt Disney puke. True love sounds nice until you see others having it.

Remember, this site is mostly for people who have problems, if a couple fell in love in their teens and lived happily ever after they wouldn't have a need to visit here. Happyiness goes underreported.

A reader, anonymous, writes (13 March 2008):

I'm afraid it rarely does last especially due to the fact young age does not commonly have preferences well established, even in adulthood challenges and dilemmas are to be encountered, only the approach is different, and the complexity level as well. One learns he addresses problems differently as he advances in age and maturity, having different prospects and anticipations. At young age, you are still exploring your identity, you still must gain insight into your own personal world and discover who you are, what represents you and so on.

As an exemple, many girls of certain age wouldn't forget to mention they like the ideal partner to have ESSENTIALLY, "a good sense of humour." The assertion is made very categorically by many young ladies. In time, nevertheless, priorities may change, and other qualities they may admire principally! Best wishes, almighty, and don't overburden yourself with worries. Are you only asking for the love of phylosophy?...

A female reader, anonymous, writes (12 March 2008):

If you're determined enough to make it work...then sure it can last.

People can say it's limiting, or not good for you or whatever but to be perfectly honest - whatever makes you happy!

Maybe it's not good for you - but then again is having 1049394 partners and finally deciding that there is no 'perfect person' for you, that you just need to love someone and work through problems - is that good for you?

It depends on your personality entirely.

For example, I'm 19 - in first year of university, and have been with my boyfriend since I was 13, in year 8 of high school. And sure we have been through tough times and will probably go through more, but I (right now) don't want to share my life with anybody else. Maybe I'll change later on, I don't know, but for all this time I've been happy to be with him and although I do get other crushes (really bad ones!) I'm happy with my guy :)

Good luck, and seriously - just do what makes you happy

A female reader, BigSis United Kingdom +, writes (12 March 2008):

BigSis agony auntAww...you sound just like my daughter did at her age. It's not unlikely my love, it cann happen, because my daughter was dating her first boyfriend from the age of 13.(Behind my back!)

The lad was my baby-sitter's little brother, i didn't like him much, as he ws a bit of a tear-away kid. A pain in the ass to be honest. He was 4 years older than daughter. I remained friends with the family for many years and they lived only five doors away from me at that time. Unbeknowing to me, my little girl (then 13) was seeing him on the quiet.

When she was 15, one evening i found her crying in her bedroom, now we weren't the best of friends at the time, because we clashed terribly, but i eventually, very carefully and lovingly talked her round to telling me why she was so upset. {My immediate reaction was..'she's pregnant', but she assured me that wasn't the case when i asked, and thank God she wasn't!}.

Her worry was, one of my aunts had seen her in the market place with the lad, my daughter was petrified that she was going to get found out.

She told me she loved him so much but was scared that if i found out, i would put a stop to it. She also said that if i wouldn't accept their relationship, she would never forgive me.

I accepted the lad, if i didn't i would have quite possibly lost my daughter. From then on i had no worries as to where she was of a evening because she was either at his parent's, our house or she was out and safe with him.

This was 15 years ago. They were married when she was 20 and he, 24, and now have three beautiful little boys.

You couldn't meet a happier couple in the most stable and loving relationship, that people would give their right arms for.

Good luck sweetie, but please also take care, as you are still very young. My daughter had me for support, and fortunately for her, everything worked out right in the end.

I'll finish up by saying; Be sensible in your decision, and my advice is, take things slowly, as i'm sure you will, because you appear to be quite a sensible girl, also by coming on here and asking our advice just goes to prove you are.

Love BigSis xx

Richard_EMids agony auntExtremely rare

Pure chance if it does work

Very limiting if it does work

Nice fleeting idea - but that's all.

In reality it's not good for so very many reasons.

Take care
