Question Posted Saturday September 2 2006, 10:43 pm
Okay so i'm 14, and my boyfriend is 17.(he just turned it about a month ago, and i am turning 15 in November).
We are seriously crazy about each other, and if you want to say that a 14 doesn't know what love is, then i'm the next closest thing to it. We've been together for about a year (16 days shy). We want to be together forever. Yeah, you can think we're crazy, it's alright. lol. What i'd like to know is, is it normal to feel like this at an age like 14, and is it realistic that we could last forever?
adviice_whore answered Sunday September 3 2006, 1:53 pm: Aw hun, thats soo sweet. Yes its realistic that that you 2 could last forever, my grandma met her husband when she was 12 and they've been together ever since and shes now 65. If hes a good guy and doesnt smoke or drink alot and treats you with respect and you love eachother then theres nothing wrong with wanting to be together forever. Good luck!

take_thisride answered Sunday September 3 2006, 1:17 pm: Yes, it's normal.
If you truely love him and he completely loves you, and you trust eachother, then yes, it will last forever.
Forever is a long time.
So, there might be lots of breaks and arguements involved, but if you REALLY love eachother then you'll always end up back together.

I can't say -- I doubt it, simply because the statistics are against you. But don't let statistics stop you from keeping up this beautiful relationship. Love him for as long as you can. Being in love is beautiful at any age but especially when you're young. [ muffinbutt's advice column | Ask muffinbutt A Question ]
partianimal8 answered Sunday September 3 2006, 2:27 am: Hunnie, listen to me. Never let anyone tell you that you are too young to love. Love doesn't have age limits. Whoever is telling you these things, chances are they're just jealous. I'm really happy for you, even though I don't know you. I think its amazing that you are dating a seventeen year old, this must mean you are extremly mature for 14. I was fourteen once, and i must admit, i didnt know what love was. I found out when I turned fifteen. You do the math. Its not much of a difference. I have been with my boyfriend since my birthday last august. We just recently made a year. When we first got together, everyone would put us down and tell us that we had no clue what love was, we definetly proved them all wrong, and i know you and your boyfriend will do the same. Good luck hunnie. [ partianimal8's advice column | Ask partianimal8 A Question ]
WhiteIce1521 answered Sunday September 3 2006, 2:06 am: when i was 14(a year ago)... i went out with a guy that was 17... it wuz cool cuz we'd known each other for years... since i was 8. the only problem was he was a junior, i was a freshman. he want's to be a firefighter and he's leaving to go to tennesse in 8 months. so we broke up about a week or 2 ago... we'll always be friends, and maybe someday it'll work out. so i would say yeah it's normal, and who can really define realisticness, if you love each other enough you'll be able to be together forever. it may not be likely, but it's better to love and lose than to never love at all, right?

MelLeDisko answered Sunday September 3 2006, 2:05 am: After being together for a year, yes it's completley normal to feel that way when you're that age, or probably any age for that matter. You feel what you feel.
Well, since you asked me if it's realistic if you two could last forever, most chances are no. I'm not saying right here and now you two aren't, but most couples sooner or later break up during their time in high school. But if you guys love eachother enough and are willing to stay together and be faithful and everything, then yeah, you could. :] It all depends on how badly you both want to last.
lulabelle answered Sunday September 3 2006, 12:29 am: Yes, this is a normal reaction for someone your age. The majority of the times relationships do not last when one is your age. But, I will tell you a little story. It's a little bit sad right now but it had a marvelous beginning. My Aunt died this week. She was 82 and she left behind her children and her beloved husband who is 91. They met when she was in high school and she was 16, he was then 25. In those days things were a lot different than they are today. My Aunt's family was not pleased with her dating such an older man. She was breath takingly beautiful and they felt she deserved to experience more of life before making any commitments. My Aunt didn't listen. She ended up marrying my Uncle and they lived happily together for 65 years. They did everything together. When my Uncle came to town he had no money, but he had an entrepreneur spirit and quickly became a milti millionaire. My point here being that yes it is possible that you can stay together until the end of this life experience, but most of the time it just doesn't happen that way. If you truly "believe" you can achieve anything you want. Best wishes to you in all you want for your life because anything IS possible.
HectorJr answered Sunday September 3 2006, 12:13 am: I'll be honest with you: if you keep sex, alcohol and smoking/drugs out of your lives, I don't see why it wouldn't last if you both tried really hard to keep things going. Go for it. Normal to feel that way? Yes. I don't mean to bash on you just because I'm older, but I felt the same way at fourteen (yes, even thirteen), and now realize that what I felt was nowhere near to what I feel now...or what I probably will feel later on. So while feelings and maturity change, just know that the way you feel now probably won't be the same you do in two years. Hope that helped and good luck.

Nobodys_Girl answered Saturday September 2 2006, 11:42 pm: I'd say its normal to feel that way after you've been together for a year.
Its certianly not impossible for you guys to stay together forever, Its realistic. It hardly ever happends. I'm not going to go put doubts in you're head, because I can't read the future. So just keep until it last.
If it doesn't work, then it wasent ment to be.
In my own opinion, at 14 you can't be in love, but I believe you can stay with a person since age 14 & realize when you're older you're in LOVE. [ Nobodys_Girl's advice column | Ask Nobodys_Girl A Question ]
