There was this guy and I liked him for quite a few years but nothing happened between us and I was beginning to think I'd never get over him, but this new guy I just can't stop thinking about and I miss him so much when I'm away from him. I've been told before I'm to young to be in love, but I'm not so sure, I just want to see what everyone else's opinion is on this. Reply to this Question

She still makes my knees weak everytime I see her. I still hope that one day we will be together again. But we live 700 miles apart, so it wouldn't work now. When I get out of the Navy and come home in 3 years, We'll see what happens.

Age, honestly, what is it but a simple number? I know older people always say that it's not possible to fall in love so young because we're so naive at a certain age. Everyone has different experiences with love, after all.

 No your not to young to be inlove i was 13 when i fell in love with my P.E teacher, yes it was love. It was like this for almost 2 years, i never wanted it to end i thought i could wait for him forever. Love is like when he walks past your heart stops everytime, you get butterflies when your about to see him, you'd rather go to school on the weekend just to see him, you miss him when he's not near, he's in your every thought (well when your not doing work and slacking off), you want him to smile and tell you everythings ok, you just want to be with him all the time!hope this answered your question...xxx

The emotions you feel are lust, excitement, even if it is love you will change beyond recognition in the next few years. I made a huge mistake when I was 17 (with the person I'm now married to 15 years later) however now realise that 17 is way too young to really be in love
Good luck x

 Your not to young. I researched this topic a few years ago, and wanted to find out how girls get hurt in relationships easier than guys do when about your age. Where guys during their puberty years are not too mature, and develop through their teens into 20's, girls are different. Females, around the time of beginning their period, also start developing adult level emotions, including deep emotions for someone else.
A word of warning though. With these emotions, come responsibility. Playing around with emotional acts, such as sex can be devastating. I also found where you can fall in love, you can receive grief, morn and trauma as a mature emotion as well when a relationship doesn't work out. Being sexually active greatly increases this risk. Make sure whatever you do growing up, your whole heart is in it and there is not part of you saying the opposite. This is because, although guys can fall in love, it takes teen males much longer, and what they call love is generally a major attraction, and not complete love.

 I dont think age matters in love.
you could be 12 and still love someone as much as if you were 25.
some young people under the age of 15 are mature enough in their souls to know what right love is.
if you have good judgement and thought through what love is it your age it could be possible you know what exactly it is.
good luck!

But I believe that the path to finding who you really love involved finding other "loves" along the way. You may be in love, nobody can tell you you are not. But you may find someone one day, who puts the love you feel right now to shame. And it will be a whole different feeling. The only way to know if you ar ein love right now, in my opinion, is to live through it and give it time, and mabye one day, fall in love with somene else. Who knows..

 People who say that people in their teens are too young to love just can't remember being that young, and so patronise us.
I've got it off my Mum so many times, it's so annoying!
But actually she's told me that what they mean is that they can't believe that when we're that young we have to feel that way, especially heartbreak.
14 is NOT too young to love! If you can love your parents, your brother, your dog, why can't you love one of your friends?
It's the same situation older people experience, but older people have more experience in loving and crushing, so they can more easily tell the difference.
Depending on what you like about this guy depends on whether you love him or whether it's just a crush.
If you're ashamed of liking him, or if you merely like his appearance, then it's probably just a crush, but I'm not pretending to be a professional!
That's my OPINION, not my amazing never-ending knowledge lol
Hope this helps x

 I don't think there is an age limit on love. I don't think you can be too young or too old to fall in love.
But as you grow you will find that love changes, means different things, even feels different.
