Are teens mature enough to fall in love?

If you think teens are not mature enough to fall in love, why? Are you a teen or over 18?

Are teens mature enough to fall in love?
Usually not. 90% of the questions on here are by teens thinking they are in love. "I've been dating him for 2 months and I think I really love him but he doesn't love me . . .etc" I'm not saying love can't happen as a teenager. Plenty of people have fallen in love as teenagers and have eventually married that person and led fulfilling lives together, but that is not the norm.





You'll find out in 10 yrs or so as you look back on all of your relationships that you thought were love and laugh at them. My best advice is to keep dating, and keep thinking you are falling in love, and keep finding someone else after you've broken up. It's natural, it's healthy, it's all a part of growing up and maturing. Just be open and honest with yourself in your relationships. Eventually you will find the right one who you are truely in love with and you'll just know that THAT is what love is. Good luck.
Reply:It depends on the teen and the person that they are in love with. You can't exactly choose who you are going to love it sorta just happens to you ,and it just hits you right between the eyes. You know? Fools Rush In . . .
Reply:Emotions are too much in flux to understand a mature relationship. On the whole, survey says no
Reply:being a teen...(14) i do think that SOME of us r mature enough..lke my ex bf was extremly immature in my relationship, like no matter what i was doing he wanted to know where i was and who i was with..so personally myself ive fallen in love once but i think that only some of us r mature enough..
Reply:I am almost 32. Most teens are mature enough to be infatuated (puppy-love). That's about it. It is seriously rare for a teen affair to last past high school.


From my experince, I was only thinking about sex at that age.
Reply:i, as a teen, think that it depends on how you define love. caring about some1 with all of your heart, loving them with all of your heart, kissing them, hugging them, holding their hand, yes teens are mature enough. Anything like sex or sexually related acts, i think teens arent mature enough.
Reply:yes i think so i mean you have heard ppl who have get married who was in love since highschool and i am actually 18
Reply:In my opinion, no.


teenagers of all ages can, but some are 'love crazy' and are like 'I LOVE DJ. NO I DONT, I LOVE ERIK!'


So.. you'll KNOW if you're in love.


If you'd give your life,


Follow them off a bridge,


spend your life with them.
Reply:it takes a certain person to be mature enough to FALL in love with a person at a young age, i'm 17 years old and i believe i've fallen in love with my girlfriend whom i've been with for over a year. most couples usually just want to have fun though, you gain something from either situation. being in a dedicated relationship gives you someone always there for you and someone to make you happy, but the single life or dating gives you freedom to do what you like. i really hope to stay with my girlfriend for a long time and don't see myself moving on too soon, but i'm not like many guys ,who knows
Reply:I'm 19 years old.. I'm in that strange period where I'm a teenager.. yet not at the same time. Anyway, I don't think that teens (well, before age 17 at least) are not capable of REALLY understanding what love is. They can fall in love.. but it's different. Love is accepting your mate's flaws, as well as their good points. It seems to me like teens throw around the word love way too fast. Slow down a bit, and date.. but save the heavy stuff for later.
Reply:i dont think teen r mature enough to fall in love , because they dont really know the person , they probably just have a huge crush or infatuation with someone n think its love , n im a teen , 17.
Reply:Example: My parents start dating when they were 16 and 18. They cohabitated for 4 yrs. then married. They celebrated their 40th anniversary 2 months ago %26amp; still going strong. What do you think about them?
Reply:I think they can fall in love, but don't always know the right steps to take once that happens.





Which is why it's a good idea to maintain those relationships and make big leaps (like having sex and getting married) until they are older and have decided what they want out of life.





I'm 21
Reply:I'd say no, but that's not to say that it can't be.


however, for you to know love, you have to live life a little, not the sexual side of life but everything else.
Reply:if they can develop that type of closeness that a relationship requires to fall in love.... but most teenagers cant when they're in school or living at home... once they get to college or graduate high school it's a different story because if htey're in a relationship.. they may live with their significant other or see them a lot more frequently and develop the closeness and gain the knowledge about eachother that is, in my mind, necessary to really love someone
Reply:WE can fall in love.





We're just unaware of it.


We may sometimes feel it's ifatuation...cause we find it hard to determine if it is plainly infatuation, admiration or it's already love.
Reply:haha, read my last question, that iwll make u laugh for sure~ but yeah, i think we are mature enough to love someone, but we cant handle it, we arent mature enough for a relationship, 14 btw.
Reply:Some. Love grows, people don't just fall in love, they grow in love. Are teens too young to fall in love?........ That is depending on their relationship, communication, friendship, involvement in each others life, with family...





I am 20.





This is LOVE:





"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
Reply:im 18. maturity depends on the person, not the general age.
Reply:im 18. i dun think so. even the adults tend to make mistake in love, what about us? we've been living for less than 20 years, how much experience have we gotten from these past years? not enough..
Reply:NO bc i though i was in love so many times and they all end up cheating on my or there mean
Reply:You can fall in love at any age. I had the very worst crush of love for my second grade teacher. I even tried to romance her with gifts of candy and perfume.





Of course I had to steal them from my mother, but I was very much in love with her, she was so beautiful to me. I even felt love pangs.





Then in the third grade I met Vicky. Same deal ........ madly in love with her and this went on for two years.





Then .................. well you get the idea.
Reply:nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... only if its a cat
Reply:Yes. Teens are mature enough to fall in love, however most are not mature enough to handle all that goes with being in love. I was 18 when I got married and 30 when I got divorced. At 18, I knew I loved him and thought that's all we needed...at 30 I realized how immature and naive I really was.
Reply:it depends on the teen. some teens think they are in love because of what they see on TV and what their friends are doing. i actually do think that teens can fall in love though.
Reply:most no more concerned with image and the idea of being in love
Reply:I am not over 18 but I think some teens have the maturity to fall in love, but it's rare.





Teens are more focused on lust rather than love and they mistake that often. I say this because I am one of those who has confused love and lust many times, but I feel I know better now. Yet many, knowing teenagers often confuse the two concepts of affection, still do not see the differences between the two but I think it is possible that even at what is considered a "very young" age, that doesn't prevent you from being able to have strong feelings towards another in that way.
Reply:Well, honestly it varies with every teenager. Some teenagers are more mature than others. I think the ones that are mature may be capable of falling in love, actual love.


I think it's so, because I know of two teenagers, who I'm very close to, that are in love with each other. They both are mature, and I know it's love as well, because neither of them are ones that would use the word "love" if there was no meaning to it.





But, I will admit, there are quite many teenagers who I don't think are mature enough to comprehend love at all. Although, such teenagers often seem to use the word quite liberally, which I find rather distasteful, and really disrespectful to the whole idea and feelings behind actual love. And I think these teenagers, since I find there are many of them, seem to give the teenagers that are mature enough, and that do understand the heaviness under which love should be taken, a bad name, to put it simply, they basically give all teenagers the reputation that they aren't mature enough to fall in love.





I've never fallen in love though, not that I find myself not mature enough to understand love and to feel it, just that I haven't found the right person.


I'm a teenager, 15.
Reply:i'm a teen, young teen, havent' had a boyfriend, but i'm not ready for one either. i think its possible for teens to fall in love, sure. but i'm not sure if its "believable" -----hard to explain--------ok, i'm only 14, and almost everyone i know has had a relationship, or "gone out with someone" already, and i think thats just crazy. were not even allowed to wear make-up, and their making out! its just really silly to me. but when it comes to love, i think its possible that teens are mature enough.----maybe after the age of 16. 13-year-olds falling in love is sortof...eeek ???? you know? hard question!!!!
Reply:no, but they are old enough to. maturity doesnt even begin until your late teens. my opinion. however, that doesnt mean that you shouldnt be in a relationship. if it comes around, jump in. you need the experience to grow and mature regarding women. good luck.
Reply:not no but hell no
