Old Enough?


Question Posted Thursday October 6 2005, 10:02 pm

I need your opinion:
I have been love for four years.
I am 17 now.
Some people say I'm too young and others say that seventeen is ld enough to know what you want.
I've always been mature for my age and when I told everyone I was in love at fourteen, needless to say, they didn't believe it. But it has been years and I am still in love.
Do you think I'm "old enough" to be in love? If I am, then wasn't I old enough when I was fourteen because back then, I was sure I would be in love forever and I still am.

Yes you're old enough. You can find true love at any age. And yes you were old enough when you were 14. But there are other guys out there.

Eva answered Saturday October 8 2005, 2:05 pm:
I believe that if you feel that you are in love that you very well may be in love. Who can really know how you feel? The mature part about it is when you make sure that you dont let your feelings cloud your judgement. Being in love is no excuse for making bad judgements. If you want someone to respect your feelings make good choices. Always do what is best for yourself and the person you love.

first of all 4 years is not forever! ok your in love and 17 is old enough to make your own desicions but are you sure that person loves you the way you love them? they might be in love with you right now but you cant promise to feel the same way forever!

Dude, in my opinion, as soon as you're out of elementary school, you can love. I'm in love, and I'm 13! It's not any of that infatuation crap, I've felt that. You can love at any time. Plus a good way to see how mature someone is, is by checking their Advicenators.com grammar =D And you are definitely mature, if you used good spelling and grammar as well as identifying how people think you're too young.

Mercedes13 answered Friday October 7 2005, 6:04 pm:
your never to young to be in love.If you feel a deep genuine feeling for someone that lasts so long you know that its love. You are old enough to know if you care about someone at any age. of course you are old enough to love and DONT let ANYONE tell you otherwise

The Heart has a mind of its own,
it knows when its in love,
it knows when it is strong,
and when your feelings are enough,
The Heart cant be quieted,
No matter what others say,
They make you doubt your love,
But its your decision at the end of the day

Nobody can tell you if you're in love or not. Only you know that for real. If you know, then don't listen to anyone else and don't let them change your opinion.

storageanddisposal answered Friday October 7 2005, 1:38 am:
People think of love as something familiar that everyone at least knows of if they don't personally experience it. What I'm sure a lot of people don't take into account is that love is a very fluid concept. No one can tell you if you're in love or not, how would they know? They aren't you.

Everyone has a different opinion about what love truly is. The fact is, there are different types of love. Consumate love, unconditional, etc. The love people most commonly try to identify with is as close to true love as you can get. And believe it or not, there is a such thing as too young for that type of love to exist. You have to spend so much time with someone to know that it's more than just passion and intimacy. That type of love is rare. I suppose it can be found at a young age (eg YG), but you can't really know for sure until later on in life.

My point is, yes you're in love if you believe you're in love, but your definition of love most certainly differs from others.

I think that love knows no age and you could fall in love at anytime. I think you are definitly old enough to be in love, and i think you were old enough at 14. Age cannot tell your heart how to feel.

hitler_the_goat answered Thursday October 6 2005, 11:57 pm:
no and yes. ask yourself: would you fight, and possibly die for this person? think long and hard about it. would you stand up to unrelenting punishment until your wrecked body finally stops functioning? or would you duck and run at the first sign of trouble? imagine the 7.62 rounds tumbling through your upper torso and ricocheting off your rear body armor plate to exit your chest out from under your armpits where the armor doesn't cover. the impact forces you back into the wall behind you with a thud, you slide down the wall into a sitting position, still watching the syrian insurgent slowly walking towards you, your arm won't bring your m-4 to bear on him. instead it falls from your grip and slides out of your hand to land with a wet clutter in the pool of blood slowly growing around you. he grins with a rotten and gapped set of teeth as he arcs your head up, using the pvs-14 night vision monocular attached to your kevlar helmet like a handle, jerking sadistically to cause more pain. he shouts with a throaty voice "ALLAHU AKHBAR!!", and shoves the barrel oof his pkm into your face. you grimace and close your eyes as his grimy finger squeezes the trigger. there is a sharp report, then nothing else.
would you allow this horrifying scenario to protect the one you love?
if so, you're perfect for my line of work, and fanatically committed to this person.
decide.

Mackenzie answered Thursday October 6 2005, 11:32 pm:
I think it's quite possible to be in "love" at such as age as 14, yes. However, it is my opinion that the word "love" is ridiculously thrown around these days to describe vast amounts of lust, and even sometimes a simple preteen crush. To further answer your question, I don't believe "love" has any barriers, but I don't think it's as common as people make it out to be. Needless to say, no one else possess the power to feel FOR you, so you're going to have to trust your own judgement here. [:

Teza answered Thursday October 6 2005, 11:17 pm:
You don't have to be older to be in love. I don't really understand why people say when you are younger you don't know what love is, and that is not true. Anyone and everyone can expiriance love. I have to admit, I have. Even though I'm in my teen years I know how it feels. You are not too young. There is no age that you can be in love. Don't listen to people who say you are too young or old enough, because you can be in love at any age.

Since I was married at 17 and have been for 30 years I have to say you can be, don't I!!

You may have known at 14. Even at 17 know there are still major changes that will take place in your lives. I do realize that I am very lucky to have weathered all the storms with my guy.

Good Luck! :)

twizzler2 answered Thursday October 6 2005, 10:50 pm:
As long as you are mature enough and you are POSTIVE what you are feeling is real, then you are in love. If your heart feels so strongly about the person you are in love with and you can only think about them, then you are in love especially after 4 years. Great job with that!! Right now i am experiencing that feeling(i am almost 16) and i kept TELLING myself "i cant be in love or have these feelings yet" but you can't TELL yourself that--your heart just automatically does it. i hope this helped. and Good luck with the rest of your love life!

xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday October 6 2005, 10:28 pm:
There is no age limit on love.

However, alot of girls AND guys confuse infatuation and lust with love.

Smart teenagers can figure out the true difference.

You are definately old enough to be in love. I fell in love at 14. I'm in love still and I'm 16 now.

I'm not going to say you WERE old enough or that you WEREN'T old enough when you were fourteen, because like I said, there is no age limit on love.

Anyone who tells you different: They're just jealous cause your young and in love.

I believe no one is ever to young to be in loove. Love comes to many people at many diferent ages. Don't listen to people your opinion is the most important. You know what you feel and you know what you want. I'm glad you found love.

x3candiigrl answered Thursday October 6 2005, 10:23 pm:
Ok honestly you MAY be to young to be in love. I know i'm 14 now n thought i was in love many times. I'm not saying you are too young but you never know. There are a lot of signs to know if your in love and im sure you know what they are. I learned at a young age if you love something let it go, if it comes back then it's meant to be. I'm nto saying to dump your bf. but if you HAVE been dating sice you were 14 i think you guys should try to see other people. That way if you feel something for anyone else you know that you weren't meant for each other. Technically you're still considered a child, and to be in love already is a big deal. If you plan on being with this person for the rest of your life then you need to try new things before you settle down. You didnt have a logn time to dae and see exctly what you want in a man. You also dont know how this guy you love will act when it's just you and him against the world. I hope i helped

AWW!! sorry, haha. I say you are in love. People probably didn't believe it when you were younger because usually we tend to think we know what we want but we really don't. I know it's wierd but now if you have been in love for 4 years then you got to be in love!

HEYxBEAUTIFUL answered Thursday October 6 2005, 10:19 pm:
I think you are absolutely right . You probably were in love at age 14 and still are. People think that you can't be in love and be young but they don't know what you feel.
