A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

There's a guy i think i really truly love. We've dated before but broke up. When we broke up a few days later he talked to me. He said that I've been on his mind since that day. Just 3 days ago he made an attempt to kiss me. Soon after i put a status saying 'people are in love'. He asked if i wasn't. And i said i was. He said he was too. Then he private messaged me and i told him i wished i had kissed him. He told me he did too, but he'd wait. I want to know if this is really 'love'.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (25 April 2011):

Love is so sweet at a young age, when I was your age I was exactly like you, getting heartbroken when I broke up with someone and thinking I'd never be able to get over them. I also look back on those years with no regret but I know now that it wasn't love. As you get older love becomes more complicated to understand.

I'm 17 so I don't really know what real love is but I think many things define it such as the amount of years you've been together. If you go out with this boy for say, 3/4 years, the love you feel gets more intense and things get more serious.

Marriage I feel is also a big step of being in love. Commiting your life to someone for as long as you'll live shows you want to be with noone else and that they're the one for you.

Basically, at your age you just need to see how things go, the love you feel now is real, but it's a different kind of love to how you'll love in say 20 years time.

I hope this helps.

The problem with real love is the definition of 'real love'. Couples get married in love and then split up many years after that. Sometimes hating each other. One have to question what real love is and if it's possible at all.

If you are really in love with someone you feel you can't be apart. But then, that's different when you are 15 than when you are 23. Because at 16 you can't marry and live together.

So real love varies depending on you age too. The things that tie you to other people changes over the time. So even if you have real love now, it doesn't mean you will spend your life together. But it isn't impossible.

I would say that you have real love if you don't find other boys interesting and you don't feel the need to experiment with them. And, if you spend the day thinking of him.
